Megaflow tank location

[Paul348]

Just after a bit of advice.

Just looking at replacing our heating system. At the moment we have an oil fired boiler with cold water tank in the loft, hot water tank in the airing cupboard etc.

What i would like to change to is a megaflow system with under floor heating to the ground floor, cast iron rads upstairs.

My question is this; the Plummer who has quoted me said he will install the hot water tank next to the boiler in the utility room which is on the ground floor.

I understand the system is a pressurised system but I am concerned about the flow/ pressure in the upstairs showers. In our old house we had a 3 bar monsoon shower pump which i was very happy with.

Should i be worried about the placement of the tank and will it affect the flow/ pressure to the shower head?

Thanks in advance

The Location of the Megaflow will not effect the performance of any outlet, However the Dynamic Pressure and flow rate most definately will, before considering an Unvented cylinder, you should measure your Cold water main's performance in regards working pressure, you need at least 1-5 bar, with a tap open and a flow rate of around 20Ltrs/min to achieve best performance, if your water main is poor you would be advised to stick with roof tanks, a vented cylinder and your booster pump!
