Hi All,
Right.....Here's the problem

Moved into a house a few months ago and have a hot water storage problem in the top bathroom. The main house is fed by a conventional heating sysyem and works fine. The top bathroom was added later so is fed differently. It uses a direct heated hot water cylinder thats gravity fed from three 60 ltr water tanks in the loft above.
The problem is the cylinder is1050 x 400 mm and feeds a sink and a pumped shower. The hot water runs out after about 10 minutes!!
I need to increase the storage capacity but the height of the cylinder is a problem as theres not much room above. There is room to put another 2 cylinders the same size next to it though. Is this an option???? How would they be connected????? I was wondering if theyre all direct cylinders they could all share a feed from the tanks in the loft and go into one hot water feed pipe above????
