How do I increase the flow rate of my water in my house

[davew3]

The Water board have been out and got the following results

Water pressure at the mains was 4 bar
Flow rate at the mains was 9 liters

I have a standard bath with a mixer shower attachment and the flow is that bad at times that when you are getting a shower the button on the mixer will drop back down due to low flow rate.

Can anyone help me out.

Accumulator tank approx 100+ litres should give a reasonable shower.

Salamander Home Boost will boost to 12 lpm, the max you can boost mains water to.

Is your bath / shower mixer fed directly from the mains supply (via a combi boiler or unvented cylinder), or is it fed from a cold storage cistern in the loft and a vented hot cylinder?

If the latter, the mains pressure and flow rate are immaterial to the problem.

I can not be 100% sure but I feel you are right my bath cold water is fed from a cold storage cistern in the loft and the hot Water is from a vented hot cylinder?

so what could I do to make things better regards the flow/pressure
