Hi,
Firstly, I do apologise if this topic has been raised in other posts but sometimes it's hard to follow posts especially when they get hijacked and the topic goes off at a tangent.
So I hope someone can provide me with some guidance on how I can improve the water flow and pressure to my shower.
My story is that I just had a Worcester Greenstar 34CDi Combi installed. To improve water flow I had replaced the lead pipe to the main stop cock at the boundary. The flow rate I have now is approx. 10l/min at a static 1.5 bar. This flow was true at both the shower head and kitchen tap. Calculated separately.
I tested on a few other times during the same day and I found that at one time the pressure was 1.8 bar but the flow rate at my shower dropped.
Does the boiler cap flow?
In any case what I wanted was to have a system that would give me a good shower experience. With my current system I cannot get a decent shower during the morning or when I return from work.
Prior to this I had a conventional y-plan system which served me well.
From various posts I am concluding that to increase my flow rate I can install a booster pump or break tank or a accumulator or accumulator+pump.
Due to cost I was considering a small accumulator with a pump to recharge quickly. Can someone advise what setup I should have to have around 10 min shower x 4 people, one after another but have min. 12l/min flow?
I do apologise for the long post.
