What about a larger vented cylinder with a shower pump as someone said earlier?
Please help me understand my problem and what I can do about it!!

Pretty much, yes. 22mm copper should help a bit but an accumulator will have the greatest effect on your flow rate given that you've got fairly decent static pressure. Doing both would be the best option, of course
Sounds like an unnecessarily noisy and potentially less reliable option to me
Max flow rate from one of those is 12l/min, so they won't help. You seem out of your depth here, maybe go advise people on how to change tap washers or something you actually understand?

Phil asked if there were any other options. I don't know how much Phil is looking to spend but unvented cylinders and accumulators will run into thousands. Just trying to offer another option. Of course an unvented is the most favourable option imho. Phil's primary concern is getting a good flow rate through his shower head. A larger cylinder and a pump would achieve this. Obviously recovery time, noise etc are concerns with this set-up.

Read what I actually wrote. It was a question. I wasn't suggesting it would work. Grab some cocoa and breathe dadio. I've never used one and I don't particularly like the idea. I asked if anyone else had. I didn't know what flow rate they provide as I've never been sufficiently interested or had reason to find out. You're first sentence was sufficient.

Totally by chance, I know the son of Walter Segal.
He is quite keen on his father's work and often gives a short presentation about it.
But he designed houses during the 1900s !

@Phil12345 did anyone measure the flow rate with more than one outlet open?
Not sure you understand what range rating is.
Pipe needs upgrading first.
Cylinder can go in the loft easily subject to load bearing capacity.
His concept about houses and homes is still valid.

It's the last I'll say on the matter before Muggles tells me off again. Boiler has 34KW DHW output max and 30KW heating output max at factory settings. Max heating output can be matched to system requirement (let's say, for example 50% = 15KW). Boiler can still modulate down but not past the new set limit. Anyway, willy waving isn't going to help Phil.
So you don't understand.
Nothing to do with willy waving. It's about giving the wrong advice.
Should have read boiler can still modulate down but not up past new set limit. For example 7 to 15kw for heating. Still 34kW for hot water.
The upper limit isn't the problem.

I mentioned your comment to my friend and he actually remembers "The Greens".
He even thinks he still has the plans.
