Boosting water pressure in shower

Question

Is there a way of keeping the water pressure up in my shower while the washing machine is running? At the moment we can't use both at the same time.

You need to check your mains pressure, as it should be possible to use both at the same time with no issue

Victor · Answer

Depends on if you have a mains or gravity system ,water companies have to provide a suitable pressure to your home so you could have plumbing issues

Andre · Answer

Yes you can. You need an inline pump on the shower like a salamander. Or you can feed the washing machine off a different source

Martin · Answer

get a plumber out to check stopcock , isolators etc. or just pause the washing machine while you shower .

Lee · Answer

There is yes...this is what Plumbers are paid the big bucks for, we are like Doctors.
Takes ten years to master.

Patrick · Answer

This is bad plumbing by installer. Hot water to shower should have dedicated feed from hot water tank or source. Not shared with other appliances. You shouldn’t get burned in the shower if someone flushes toilet or turns on tap.

Water pressure is mainly dependent on your system.  If you have an older more traditional system then you can boost the pressure of your shower by installing a shower booster pump. 
If you have a combination boiler, your mains water inlet may be the problem.  Best thing is to have a site survey and discuss options available.

It all depends on water supply's you have     
Obviously the washing machine is on cold mains pressure  and what  boiler system do you have

Brendan · Answer

If you have low mains water pressure you can full a booster pump at the mains incoming supply or something like a DAB esybox with DAB esytank,  this is a storage tank which boost your full house mains pressure.. it would take some investigation to see what the best options are..
