Fortic cylinder

[barronbathrooms]

Evening all! Went to look at a bathroom today for one of my landlords. In a ground floor flat direct fortic cylinder about 600m off floor pressure really poor. Is there a way to increase flow rate. Thought about a pump but obviously the tank above is really small so may not be able to cope with demand(bath, whb and sink) anyone any ideas!

Whats incoming mains pressure and flow like? Direct unvented cylinder?

The only way your likely to improve the supply is spend lots of money.
The fly in the ointment is that there us a landlord involved.
Best just fit a triton wall mounted shower pump to appease the tenant.

Changing system not an option(landlord tight as ducks nether region) to be honest don't think incoming was to good 12 lt per min tops.

Suggested shower but still doesn't solve hot water. It's quicker to fill sink by boiling a kettle!

Can you raise tank any higher ?

one thing that helps is avoid mixer taps and taps that dont work well on low pressures.

Or lower the tap ;-)

Can you still get full-flow taps for these low pres systems ??

and remove the iso valves or fit full bores.
