Little warm waters
“Many people tend to shower when the washing machine is running. And this is a mistake, because the washing machine and shower are connected to the same pipes and share the same water heater. Therefore, hot water is scarce and one of the sampling. It says a plumber and adds that it is quite common that the shower is waiting for minutes before the hot water supply is restored. And it may not be twice as pleasant.
Low water pressure
Another inconvenience is the fact that the washing machine takes a large part of the water. This will also affect the intensity of the shower. “You can start showering and everything looks normal. But then the washing machine starts to work more, removes more water and only a” small pee “will flow from the shower,” He warns the expert that fluctuations in water supply can be repeated when showering.
Greater energy consumption
And the third reason you should not shower when the washing machine is running is money. “The water heater is under double onslaught, which means double cost of electricity,” It says dryly expert, adding that overloading the device also has its rapid wear and shortening of life, which is not good news. Therefore, shower at a time when you already have laundry on the line.
Alternative solution
If you do not want to restrict yourself when showering, then get a so -called thermostatic valve. For example, you can buy it in hobby markets (OBI, Hornbach, Bauhaus) or special stores with heating or plumbing material. The price of such a “water temperature tun” ranges from 200 to 800 crowns. The installation takes place in places between the water pipes in the wall, shower battery or shower head. Thanks to this “help” you will be able to shower without taking into account the second appliance.
