 double shower tempurature question
Author: handyman43302 (OH)

I have a large 2.5x5 foot shower with separate controls and shower heads on each end. The idea is two can shower together..... Anyways, the second set of controls is immediately downstream from the first with 3/4 CPVC (3/4 to go up the wall to shut off valves then 1/2) lines that then go on to a mud sink and end. Any adjustment of temperature on one control causes a major chage in the tempurature the other shower. These are two handle controls made for showers. Any suggestion to solve this? I have thought I could run lines from the mud sink to the clothes washer and make a loop to maybe even out pressure demands from DHW and house supply to both showers, Or is it a pressure supply to the house issue (we have a galvanized line, but no other observable pressure issues.)

You need pressure balancers installed. Here's a link.

Does that mean they have separate hot and cold handles, or one handle for the temperature and the other for volume?
