Does this mean you have a restriction because the shower stops? I'm out of ideas for where to look for a restriction beyond taking the floor in the kitchen back up. So an accumulator it is.

Thanks a lot - yeah, I'd read about the size of the vessel not actually being what you get as the pressure equalizes. I'll do some research and get a plumber in to advise further on installation.

The static drops to around 2.2 bar when using other appliances in my house, but is otherwise stable. It seems stable at other times other times. I can't find any restrictions other than perhaps the pipework in the house being 15mm after it comes in off the new blue water main. We recently had...

Probably not, I could build a housing for a larger one outside and insulate it to boost the incoming water I guess but I'd rather it went indoors for simplicity. One more final question - given the pressure seems good, I think I can use an unpumped accumulator, does that sound right or should I...

Yeah, I went and checked the outside mains stop tap as well and when I measure the flow at the outside tap (where the blue pipe connects) it is also about 10 l/m. None of the neighbours have fantastic flow either. We live in Cornwall, up a very steep hill so maybe that has something to do with it?

Thanks Rob - we've got a new blue water main pipe coming into the property from the main that was installed prior to us moving in. I also got the water company to check and they said the pressure is above the minimum they are required to provide.

Hi all - looking for some advice on ways to get better water flow in my house. Details are: Issue: Low flow/pressure, particularly when other appliances are in use. Flow: Approx 9/l min downstairs and upstairs Static Pressure: Approx 3.8 bar Dynamic Pressure: Approx 2.2 bar Boiler: Combi We...
