Hi all,
I want to save water.
My standard shower uses around 10 litres per minute. I want to halve that.
I bought several eco shower heads, however when i turn the tap on, the gas for the water heater cuts out so i have only cold showers.
If i turn the kitchen tap on at the same time then the water stays hot, but its an obvious waste of water.
So is the gas cutting out because the pump I have is too strong, or does the heater also need a certain flow rate in order to heat the water. It has a couple of knobs, one to adjust the gas and another to adjust how hot the water is. Never really figured it out.
One idea i had if i cant get to the bottom of it is to recirculate half the water coming into the shower back into the water tank. Pic below, welcome your feedback on that idea as well.
