Hi
I've just bought an end of terraced house. circ 1900. The water pressure is low.
We have shared mains water. The pressure was measured at 5ltr / min @ no bar taken at 18:00 mid-week by British Gas, then again a few days later 9ltr / min @ 0.7 bar by the water supplier.
There is no water tank. In the kitchen there is an old Glowworm Swift flow combi. Its bar reading is 1.2bar.
We lose pressure and hot water in the kitchen and bathroom when running a hot tap and flushing at the same time.
I want to replace the old boiler and put a shower in. What can I do to increase pressure?
Should I get a dedicated mains supply?
OR
Is there a combi that works at low pressure?
What shower will work with out a pump and still deliver good pressure?
Currently the flue end is 720mm from a third party wall. (Total distance wall to wall is 920mm) Is that sufficient distance for a new combi boiler?
Thanks for any help, suggestions or ideas of cost.
