Why Does My Shower Loose Hot Water When Someone Turns On A Tap

Frustrated with your shower turning icy or losing very precious water pressure every time someone turns on a tap or flushes a toilet when you’re taking a shower? It’s frustrating and annoying and can really turn a nice shower, bad. 

Let’s understand why it happens in the first place!

A shower features multiple parts, including a faucet, drains, pipelines, and taps. The water fixtures and pipes in any household are all well connected. In some cases, when someone will use another tap in the laundry or kitchen, you might experience loss of heating to the shower.

This is because of the water supply from the hot water tank and subsequent water pipes working together simultaneously.
