    HW Cylinder (vented): Combination cylinder or not?

    Hi. I live in a split level 2 bed flat, there's a big CWS tank and a vented HW cylinder in the spare room upstairs. These feed the taps in the upstairs bathroom and hot water to the kitchen via a Salamander pump. Shower is an electric unit run off the mains, which has very low flow (at best...

    Gap Between Window and Frame - One Side of Window Only

    I've noticed that there's a gap letting a draught in on one vertical side of my top-hung window. The seals are tight at the top, left side and bottom. The gap is largest at the middle of the right hand side of the window (which meets the central mullion) but closes at the top/bottom - kind of...

    Window Frame/Reveal Refurb

    I recently moved into a new flat and all of the windows need tidying up where sealant is peeling off, paint is cracking etc. Starting with the spare room. I'm a novice, so this might be the first of a few posts, but I have done a fair bit of research. Have attached a few photos below with some...

Mains flow is terrible (same in my whole building), so have been looking at electric showers with built-in pumps which would be fed from the cold water storage tank. CWS also feeds the other outlets upstairs via a Salamander pump. The...

    Mixing 22mm and 15mm in a pumped system (whole house)

    Hi. I have a property with a traditional gravity-fed system, with bathroom taps running off an old salamander pump with 22mm pipe. The electric shower runs from mains and pressure/flow is abysmal (we’re talking less than 3 l/m and something around 0.2 bar). I was hoping to upgrade the pump...

    Low incoming flow/pressure. Stick with vented, or boost pressure to unvented?

    A follow on from a previous post. I have now established that the incoming water pressure/flow rate cannot be increased to my flat. A common problem in this development. The incoming pressure entering my property is ~1 bar and 5 l/m - this is at ground floor. Currently have an electric shower...

    Boosting pressure for unvented cylinder (or stick to vented...)

    Hello all. [following is the edited version as apparently the original had too many words...]. My incoming supply is rubbish. I've looked into improving it through Thames Water and the management company of my flats, but I'm stuck with a little less than 1 bar (second floor flat), and a flow...
