How much difference would raising the head tank make?

Hi All

I have just installed a new shower/ bath filler system:

- Thermostatic mixer valve
- bath filler
- large rain head shower.

I'm guessing that the cold is fed from the mains as I get Ok pressure if I set it to cold.

Cold is fed by 15mm pipe, hot by 22mm.

The shower head is only about 2 ft below the bottom of the header tank (mainly due to my exceptionally poor planning!)

When I set the temperature to be acceptable to get under, I get a bit of flow from the head, but it's what I would describe as 'just below acceptable'.

I have the option of raising the header tank by about another 4 ft in the loft and wondered if this would make any real difference? Is it worth the effort, or should I get a pump installed?

Any advice would be gratefully received

Thanks

Should be off the tank if hot comes from a cylinder.
