[QUOTE="Richard-the-Ninth, post: 522243, member: 23472"] Just thinking out loud............... Hair washing facility Kettle...........too small :cry: Electric shower..........needs 40A supply for instant hot water, water flow affected by someone flushing the toilet o_O not to mention, can you have such a big supply? Solution? Stored hot water heater :) A stored water heater will always stay hot, and shouldn't fluctuate too much when toilet flushed. You can get them that are 1.5Kw However, they only hold 6 Litres, would that be enough? Other question, although water is only 5M away, will the landlord allow you to "tap in" (If he allows one, he must allow the others?) Also where will the waste water go? I would suggest first thing is ask the landlord can you do it? (You won't be able to keep it a secret long) I suspect that with all the plumbing (in and out) the water heater, the electrician, it will not be worth it (oh and the water meter, and the "hairdressers sink" with a cut-out to lean into, oh and a proper salon chair) Good luck, let us know how it goes.
