Help!
We recently had a 170 litre megaflo and a valiant boiler installed into out 3 bedroom house in preparation for a loft conversion. After a few teething problems things seemed to be OK and we had great water pressure.
Now the loft conversion is complete the water pressure upstairs seems to be much less than downstairs. Also if you run the bath on the 1st floor (the boiler is on the first floor) or run the tap in the kitchen you can visibly see the pressure decrease and the shower sometimes starts to 'throb'.
Can anyone please offer me some advice on what might be the problem? My plumber is saying this is normal as the water is being diverted and HeatraeSadia say that as my flow rate is 20 litres per minute this is the minimum they recommend for their system. I was under the impression that Megaflos are meant to be the best on the market- surely it can operate two sources at the same time without that great a pressure loss?
