Shower in the flat.

[la poste]

Greetings.

I have been working in a flat lately (electrical) and a new heating system is being put in.
The system is an electric boiler as there is no gas with a storage tank.
The storage tank has a pressure relief valve on it.

My question is with a new system like this would the storage tank be under enough to deliver a shower?
I don't know much about heating systems and I am wondering what sort of pressure the water in the tank will be under.
Because it is a flat the shower cannot be gravity fed and I am wondering if a pump will have to be fitted to the shower.

Thanks.

Hi The tank/cylinder is likley to be feed from mains water supply, the pressure of which varies according to demand on main supply locally and time of day. The supply to the unit will be governed by a pressure reducing valve, this item avoids pressure increasing above the design pressure of the system. Normally 3 bar. Providing the main supply is properly sized the hot supply to the shower will be more than adequate. Good Luck
