Hello.
Just recently had replaced mains water supply pipe , from lead pipe to 25mm mdpe. It is 3 storey building. On third floor i am getting static pressure of 1.9- 2.0 bar. Once tap is fully opened pressure drops to 0.9-1.0bar but flow is quite high as it is over-filling my weir cup which is max 22LPM. I am guessing flow is even higher but i need to do another test with accurate bucket.
Question to experienced plumbers , are these condition good enough to install combi boiler, i am bit worried about low pressure.
Previous system was vented hot water cylinder with cold storage tank.
Also is it worth going into high end boiler , I had in mind Ideal or Vaillant their premium range ?
Thank you
