Home Improvement Asked by Lefty on December 4, 2020
I’m trying to supply 3 outlets in a shower from ONE output of a digital mixer. I want to be able to control the flow to each of the outputs individually and balance them as I need.
I’ve spoken to a number of technical support lines and their initial response has generally been “You can’t do that”, but with no explanation as to why it’s a problem.
When pushed, one person suggested that the control circuit in the mixer MIGHT shut down the mixer if the outlet is constricted too much. The feeling was that it would probably reset itself eventually but it might take a long time and, potentially could cause damage to the mixer if it happened repeatedly. This seems plausible to me.
Does anyone have experience of this or could you give any real reason why manufacturers
are telling people this can’t be done?
You could plumb a 3-outlet manifold feeding 3 individual shower flow controllers. You would end up with the single digital temp/flow controller upstream, then three separate single-handle shower flow controllers downstream.
I have seen a similar set-up, the temp. controller (mixer) is on the backside of the wall so employees only have access and water is kept tepid. Public users control only on/off and flow.
