Something else has come to my attention - can an electric shower be fed from a large storage tank on the roof? The tank is fed by the mains and has a booster pump underneath it which triggers whenever a tap is turned on.
Similar scenario to this
Been thinking of getting rid of the tank sometimes and relying on the mains only (seems to have a good pressure as the front garden tap is fed directly).
The tank was originally installed to provide a supply to a solar collector and tank next to it - we are in the process of removing this as the structure has corroded and is in bad shape.
It's a semi-detached house and the neighbour just has the entire house supplied by mains with no tanks on the roof.
This is the solar tank/panel which is now half dismantled. Not in view is a massive plastic tank that the mains fills up next to it. (solar tank being dismantled as the concrete bases have penetrated the roof membrane and the inner hot storage tank has started leaking.
