No scale in kettle. Been in house 16 years, pressure always been low. It's just taken us that long to get really fed up with it!

Thanks for your time here! 1930's semi house, 22mm pipe from cyclider feeding bathroom taps going down to 15mm to the kitchen. I estimate the cylnider and the cold tank to be no more than 25 years old. Replaced bath and kitchen taps within last 5 years. Thanks!

0.06 or 0.6? So why do I have poor HW flow if the tank and cylinder position are not relevant?

Dunno, Maybe 40 gals? Should I have a minimum size tank?

Thanks, can you suggest a good one? Thanks C

Hi I have poor hw flow due to the fact the cold tank sits almost on top of the copper cylinder. I am toying with the idea of pumps etc, but know that raising the cw tank will help no matter what. Can anyone tell me how much extra flow I will get per unit rise in tank? For example, if I can...

Stem, Thank you for your reply. I take the point about the noise...........so "silent" pumps are not exactly silent then?

Hello, I have poor hot water pressure and I am considering using a pump to increase flow. I have seen the Stuart Turner Techflo TP S Positive Head Shower Pumps 1.5bar & 2.0 bar. I have a conventional open vent system with tank and cylinder in the loft. The tank sits directly on top of the...

Hi I have a conventional heating system with a water tank fed copper cylinder in the loft which is heated by a gas boiler. The tank sits immediately on top of the cylinder and so water pressure is poor. I have looked at thermal stores and unvented systems. I like the idea of a store more than...

HI Still having problems! Pressure drops over night and often prevents CH coming on. I top up via the filler pipe so the pressure needle reads half way. Heating comes on and the pressure rises into the red. I have tied a bag to the overflow and water collects into it. Heating...

Hi Done as suggested, no water comming from outlet. Pressure dropping quicker and quicker now when CH is not on, when on pressure goes nearly into the red. Why such variance??? Crackers
