Hi there,
New to this forum so apologies if I ask any stupid questions! My question is about my mains cold water supply, which is shared with the flat below. I am having a loft conversion with shower room (which will be at the opposite end of the flat from current mains supply & boiler etc.)
Currently my mains flow is meaauring 14-18 litres per minute, depending on whether downstairs are using water at the same time. (I'm unsure of the pressure) I have a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 29cdi combi boiler serving one bathroom (with electric shower) to the rear of the flat.
My concern is whether the flow rate and pressure will be enough to run to the loft at the front of the flat for the new shower.
The mains supply to the lower flat is via 25mm blue poly pipe which then reduces straight to 15mm copper supply up to my flat, branching off to the lower flat supply about half way up. My question is, if this 15mm supply pipe was replaced with 22mm from the poly, would this then increase the potential flow to the upstairs flat and still have enough pressure to continue up to the loft and along to the conversion at the front? Would it also help with the water 'stealing' I currently experience when more than one outlet is being used at the same time?
Thanks for your patience!
