Hi,
Hope somebody can help me. We live in a tall victorian house. Shower pressure has been poor for some time, and so we had a large plumbing company round who suggested changing our gravity-fed water system for an unvented cylinder. I showed them our incoming supply pipe, which was 15mm, but they said that the flow rate was sufficient that this wouldn't matter.
The cylinder is now fitted and shower pressure is significantly improved, but certainly not like a power shower. This includes when it is the only asset using water. In this circumstance, is upgrading the supply pipe to 22mm going to achieve anything? Or will it simply mean that two people can shower at the same time with the same low pressure?
I've not been able to measure the pressure, but the flow rate is about 12l/min downstairs.
Thanks for any advice.
