I'm replacing an existing direct copper cylinder. There's no boiler, just an immersion. The old cylinder has a header tank in the loft and there's a pipe which goes from the old cylinder to the loft which is badly sited right under the roof space (touching slate!) and freezes in winter. It's a holiday cottage and often unoccupied so I'm going for a combi cylinder with a built in header tank.
So, in addition, the bathroom has a sloped ceiling from about 7.5ft down to just over 5ft. I want to put the tap-end of the bath at the 7.5ft end so that I get maximum head height for an electric shower. This means that the cylinder needs to go at the 5ft end. The alternative is to put the cylinder at the 7.5ft end and shift the bath down. But this means that, at 6ft 2in, I may be banging my head when in the shower...
So my question is, if I put the cylinder so that the water level of the integrated header tank is at around 5ft, drawing off hot water via 22mm pipe to the bath taps which are at about 2ft, is there enough head to fill the bath within a reasonable time?
Thanks in advance for any assistance or opinion you can give.
