 |
|
Hi everyone,
I have just bought a little one bedroom 4th floor flat, which has an ancient hot water cylinder / water storage tank / boiler setup however the water pressure is still too low to have a shower in.
Is there any way I can replace the existing system with only a boiler and increase the water pressure sufficiently?
Thanks very much |

Check the pressure and flowrate at the kitchen tap. If it's good then a combi might be the way forward |

or a shower pump will cost you about £1,000 less. |

Or an electric shower with built in pump like the Triton T80si pumped will only require a tank with 8cm head. |
