Just looking for some advice/opinions..
I moved into a house earlier this year with an old gravity fed system. We have a tank in the loft, a cylinder/immersion heater in landing cupboard and a system boiler on its a last legs downstairs. We have 2 bathrooms, one shower has a very noisy pump and good pressure, the other has no pump and very low pressure.
From the kitchen tap we have a 22mm pipe at the stop cock but then changes to 15mm pipe for the rest of the house.
I've had 4 guys out and all have said they are happy to install unvented cylinder but I'm concerned about pressure and flow rate not being good enough. 1 guy has recommended a Viessman storage combi, another has recommended sticking with gravity fed. Nobody seems to have experience about accumulator or keen to fit one.
I have bought a pressure gauge and Weir cup to do my own checks and getting 2.1/2.2 bar and 15ltr/min on the outside tap.
Can anyone recommend based on the above what in their opinion would be best way to go for a new system?
Also if anyone can recommend any engineers in Glasgow as I'm not too confident in anyone I've had round so far... only 1 bothered to check flow rate and said it should be fine...
