Pumps are nasty noisy things at best.
I suggest you swap your old tank out for a nice unvented cylinder
and you can then have mains pressure hot water.
Check you have a reasonable flow of 20 litres a minute of mains cold.

The Grunfoss home booster ( 15-90 ? ) will probably fit the bill.
Costs about £100 and turns on when there is a flow.
However, it is best fitted in the outlet from the loft tank if you need to mix hot and cold together inside a tap or shower otherwise there are unbalanced pressures.

thanks for that agile that would suit better as i can fit that about a meter below the cw storage on the feed the the cylinder inside the airing cupboard ,the cold feed to the bath is mains but could throttle that back easilly .regaurding the other post the airing cupboard is unsuitable for a megaflow as i would have fitted one when i fitted the system boiler .
