Discuss Penthouse flat, worst cold / hot water performance I’ve seen. in the USA area at PlumbersForums.net

All one unit


No mains boost will run an unvented I’m guessing the mains comes in under the sink unit ?
That’s looks like a good bit of kit.

The main comes in in the utility room, which is also where the old vented cylinder. The main then disappears beneath finished tiled / engineered walls and floors Etc and distributes out to kitchen, 2 bathrooms and a roof terrace. I was thinking cut into main and extend it so it only goes to the break tank or booster, then connect the pumped cold to a new unvented cylinder, with the balanced cold take off connected back to the existing cold pipe that disappears in the wall to all cold taps. The unvented will also then be fed off the pumped cold.

I don’t want to have to run a new cold from the utility to kitchen for drinking if at all possible. It’s a long awkward route. I see the DAB Esybox / Esytank says suitable for drinking water, so maybe this would be a solution. I’ll give them a call Monday. Thanks for you help on this Shaun.

yes it’s fine for potable water as it’s designed for whole house boosting
