hello, was chatting to a friend, he has a good size 5 bedroom house .. current system is a combi boiler and he is looking to upgrade bathrooms and water supply as currently using a tap stop the hot water to the shower

i was surprised when he mentioned to me the the plumber is recommending keeping the combi boiler (4 years old) and adding a stuart turner booster to get the required pressure for the water stores in a 300l Main Cylinder (with pressure inlet kit and expansion vessel) up the the bathrooms on the 2 upper floors ..

i was told pressure was 4 bar

would you only keep a combi boiler if putting a new pipe from the mains proves to be tricky ? house is 1930s with i assume original pipe from mains

i assume a pressurised system including new boiler only works with a pressure that the original pipe cant supply and the pump is the only option

thanks for your advice
 
Need an unvented cylinder you can keep the combi just feed the bathrooms from the cylinder
 
Sounds ok to me.
Keep combi to do the kitchen and run a hot water zone in.
300 litre pressurised cyl for the rest with a booster pump and break tank.
I would fit a dab e sybox, booster,if you have room, as they are quieter.
