Looking for some advice,
Hot water heated from boiler, indirect tank with header tank in loft (surface water level about 3ft above first floor ceiling). Cold water supply has a pressure reducing valve in the garage set at about 3-4 bar to limit the pressure in the house, the cold water pressure was very high without it.
Three bathrooms on first floor which all have showers, two have balanced feeds cold from header tank) and the third was added afterwards and is unbalanced with a pressure reducing valve in the cold supply to it. All working but not really great.
Would like to improve the showers so could either fit a booster pump for hot water (the cold does not need boosting) or change the tank to a mains pressure tank.
Tank could do with being a little bigger when we have visitors but generally there are only the two of us.
Now my gut feeling is change the tank which gives us three good showers but potentially more expensive to install and I can't fit it. The alternative is a whole house booster for hot water which I could fit but am wary of noise when it is running (the hot water tank cuboard is in our bedroom).
What does the panel think?
