My kids stay in a 2nd floor (of 3) flat which has a combi boiler. However it also has a cold water storage tank which appears to be leaking and I thought about removing it. Is there any reason why this tank would have been retained when the boiler was installed (other than saving time and money)?

Also some older Worcester boilers have an open vent kit so a tank would still be required.
The tank supplies the toilet, bath and WHB but I thought I could connect these to the mains. Not sure of the boiler make but it is not a Worcester. The tank is inside the flat about 6m away from the boiler (and about 1m above the the boiler level).
Why would you want to reduce the pressure?
You won't necessarily need to change the toilet valve. It may only need a high pressure valve insert. Taps will be no different to the hot taps already.
How did you propose to reduce the pressure? Changing a toilet valve would be darn sight cheaper than installing a pressure reducing valve!
