Yes I’m looking at moving the tank boost now into the garage , meaning I can free up big space next to the boiler , which then I could potentially install a hot water tank , I just need to work out how it all plumbs in , and the fact my cold water supply feeds at 3.0bar , so I’m assuming I would...

Ok this potentially could be my answer , I’ve tried to find some sort of diagram of a system like this but can’t see anything ? Would you mind shedding some light ? Also dumb question but could I not just use the hot water feed from the boiler to fill the thermal store/ cylinder instead of...

Appreciate your long reply thanks but I’m not looking for a shower at 10l/min , I’ve come from a pukka power shower and have just been dissatisfied ever since a combi was fitted. I’m not saying it doesn’t work properly I just want a pukka shower which takes your skin off whether that be the...

Yes everything is fed from the tank boost now , if a cold tap is turned on while in the shower there’s no effect , but if a hot water tap is turned on then I may aswell wash with a flannel , the real problem here is purely the amount of hot water being allowed out of the combi boiler at a steady...

Ok sweet. Keep me posted thanks mate

That would be great are you a plumber can you do the work or are you just talking advice ?

Yes I completely agree I was sold that a combo would be absolutely fine , and if I’m honest it was proper crap like a premier inn shower my wife struggles to get the bubbles out of her hair hence why I added the tank boost system which has helped loads but wasn’t cheap plus it’s really annoying...

Ah thanks I don’t doubt the boiler is not working correctly , it’s great if you live on your own and have a good water supply but we are a busy house of 4 , and used to having a gravity fed system with a power shower

The shower is not the best , as we were used to a power shower before and yes if someone turns on another h/w tap in the house it’s dreadful . Just trying to achieve a solid hot water system , we about to install an extra bathroom in our loft too not that anyone would shower at the same time.

Had all taps running , although they were all weak and luke warm , DHW is already on max setting 60c

I will do this test today at some point , so take the photo 3 minutes apart ? Just to be clear while the boiler is running flat out ? I’ll report back

No I had a bigger gas pipe fitted I think 28mm or 22 of the top of my head , like I say I’m never getting anywhere near those numbers out of the hot tap , because there’s a little red restrictor built into the cold water supply in boiler , I’ve spoke to glow worm if I removed that temporarily...

Sorry I wasn’t clear it’s a tank booster so is 450l of water pumped ( salamander tank boost) 3 bar upto 80l/min . Yeah I’ve had the water board out checked it in the road was 11 they said that’s plenty good enough they have to supply a min of 7 . I think the easy answer is to just get a better...

Thanks guys so much for your input

In an ideal world with only 11l/m incoming and 1.8bar pressure , which system would you install bearing in mind I like a nice powerful shower , plus once the loft is done it will have to be pumped up there from the airing cupboard on floor 1. I’m considering ripping it all out and putting in an...

Yes ok I understand by using valves , originally I was thinking of using the cold inlet as the hot water output from the boiler . My other problem is fitting another bloody tank somewhere wish I’d stayed with the old gravity system worked a treat . Only reason I changed was to free up space in...

I understand the system , but the water is only heated when the central heating is on or it uses a diverter valve , which I spose I could fit for use in the summer months. Been trying to get a decent plumber or heating engineer for months they all just wanna rip the arse out of you with no real...

The cold water pump pushes out 3bar and upto 80l/min , so I spose that would push the hot water out the cylinder and a very good rate , the only problem I could see here is in the summer when the heating is not on how would the hot water be heated ? Via an immersion ? Also it’s the space to fit...
