    Low Pressure
    Hi I have just moved into a 2nd floor flat (all electric) and to create more space and improve water pressure have had an unvented cylinder installed in the loft.
    However, the water pressure still appears low and my hope of a new power shower fading. Can anyone suggest the checklist I need to work through and if all else fails a suitable solution.
    Many thanks

    You not going to get much water pressure for a stories tank located in a [oft. To get the pressure you desire you will have to install a booster pump and bladder tank.(see image) install a shut off valve and followed by a check valve on the tank. Connect the booster pump and bladder tank next. Connect everything in to the supply that feeds your flat. More questions? I'm as close as a click. Good luck, Tom and in
