Ok here goes...
Tap Pressure - 3.5bar. Flow rate 20l/m. No space for separate storage or header tank as loft has been converted.
1st floor - wetroom (with large showerhead and 6 body jets suggest flow rate is 18l/m for showerhead and 9 l/m for the body jet - I'm assuming this is each)
Loft - Thermostatic shower in en suite
So how do I manage to maintain the shower in the wet room? with water being used elsewhere including the other en suite shower.
- Can I used a condensing combi with a storage tank?
- Can I use a pump with this system?
- If the flowrate for the combi is greater than the incoming flow rate (20l/m) is that just a waste of money?
- Would I have a direct cold water pipe to the combi without t-offs? what benefit would this have as any other uses of the water would have the same net effect on the flow?
I've got a 15mm lead pipe coming into the property form the stopcock in the front of the house (not sure what size it is to there) 22mm pipe from the 15 once in the property.
- Will it make any difference if I change this from the stopcock ?(am I allowed to?)
Apologies for the long post and all the questions - PS I'm not a plumber just a householder with an interest in understanding what is the best can do for my house from the people with the knowledge.
I really would appreciate any help you can provide as the builder is clueless (as I would expect hes not a plumber), the plumbers I have seen have stated various differing opinions but no consistent message.
