I have finally decided upon my hot water system. Having discussed it with Building Control I now know that I can't have an unvented system without too much upheaval, so I've decided to go for a vented set up. To save space I'm having a mains-fed Triton remote Aspirante shower (fitted with my own shower head), and a small (900x400) combination cylinder to supply the kitchen sink and bathroom basin (there's no bath).
What I hope will be my final question on this matter is: what size pump should I get to improve the pressure of the hot taps in the bathroom and kitchen? Presumably a single impeller would do the job, but what size would you recommend?
Last time I measured it I had about 3 bar mains pressure (at 10am) and a 25 litres per minute flow rate, but my local plumbers merchant said that was unheard of in my area as most people get about 1 bar.
With this in mind I also wondered if it might be worth getting a pump that feeds the electric shower too, in case it's performance is not as expected.
Thanks again chaps.
