300 litre Cistern has 15mm pipe to supply power shower .

But later on power shower no heating water

Op can you confirm does the shower need both hot and cold or just cold ?

Is just cold water feed

 

[Wargas]

Is that what you meant?

Yes 8.5

It sounds as if:

1. Each hotel room has a power shower which requires a hot and cold feed.
2. The hot feed for each is taken from a 300litre hot water cylinder which also supplies one other hotel room.
3. The cold feed arrangements are not specified, but if 1. is correct then it must be taken from a cold water storage cistern.
4. The showers are inadequate (or presumably no changes would be sought)
5. The OP believes these showers require 8.5Kw of electrical power, but this is incorrect. More likely to be 250W to 500W maximum to drive the pump.
6. The OP believes the showers each require 8m/min minimum water flow. This may be an incorrect expression of some minimum pressure requirement.

If the OP would care to confirm / contradict the above points, and also supply:

1. The make and model of the showers. AND
2. Some idea of the total length, diameter and number of elbows on both hot and cold feeds.

We might have a better chance of making a positive comment.

I believe it says cistern, not hot water cylinder,

1. Power showers are feed with only cold water from 300 l cistern with
15 mm plastic pipe .

2 and 3
Is no hot feed is six rooms and 3 x 300l cisterns that supply the rooms with cold water by using 15mm plastic pipe .

5.
Shower requires 8.5kW but is powered by 230W

6
I have check water flow and is below 8l/min 6.5-7l/min
Everything is feed by 15mm pipe straight from cold water cistern .
Is 4 elbows that is reducing tje pressure.
I'll use no elbows everything will be bend on pipe bender .

I hope that will help .

Cistern

Yes cistern

 

[stani]

Is that 230 volts

 

[ShaunCorbs]

It's not a power shower op it's an electric shower and can't be fed off tank as they require a min of 0.8 bar of pressure

As ShaunCorbs has said, they are designed to be run off the mains. In theory they could be run from a cistern, provided this was about 10 metres (4 storeys) above the height of the shower head, but if the cistern runs dry there is a serious risk of scalding to anyone having a shower at the time.

Given the difficulty there has been in establishing what you are dealing with you might consider the dangers of continuing outweigh the value of the work.
