What causes a water pressure drop in the shower when someone turns another faucet on?
If you assume that the water entering your house in the mains pipe is at a constant pressure (this is a relatively good assumption) then the more outlets you give for it to flow from, the lower the flow rate from each one. Say you are supplied 1 litre per second and your shower is using all of this. Now, turn a tap on to 0.3 litres per second and there is 0.7 litres per second coming from the shower head. Showers are often upstairs and kitchens downstairs, so if the tap in question is in the kitchen then the effect will be greater than if they were both on level. The pressure of the water in the kitchen tap is made larger by the head of water pushing down from upstairs, and when both are turned on, the kitchen tap can "steal" more of the shower's water than a bathroom tap would when twisted the same amount.
Why is water hotter in kitchen and not in shower?
The kitchen is probably closest to the water heater and the shower is the farthest. Water cools down the farther it travels through the pipes.
Where does upstairs sink water and shower water drain to?
There is a main drain that runs from the basement through the roof where it is the vent for the system. If you look at the layout of the house, the upstairs bath is most likely over the downstairs one or the kitchen. If you look on the roof, you will see a 4 inch pipe coming through the roof that should be over the upstairs bath. The sink and shower drain into that and then to the basement and out of the house. Most likely the main stack is in the wall behind the toilet.
