Hi guys can I have some advice pls.
I am renovating a house have 3 toilets 2 bathrooms inc 2 showers 1 bath. I would like a combi boiler/mega flow set up, but I only have 2 bars pressure, 1.5 bar working pressure, and the flow rate is 13 lpm. we are 50m from the street main, is the any device or system that will give me a good enough flow rate for a good shower, and good bath fill up.(Not neccesarily at the same time). We have a new 25mm supply from the road.
 
A break tank with booster set will give you amazing flow rates. But it will cost alot
 
are your stopcocks fully open? main one in pavement or wherever and one inside house
 
Sorry. Should of said if you go for the boosted option. Go for the twin pump. For when you have a failure. Or have a bypass cut in
 
Ok gentleman, thank you, whilst I'm not loaded, price isn't the issue, I only want to do it once, so I want to get it right 1st time. I will also check the stopcocks before I do anything cos thats a proper cheap solution.
thanx again
 
id be going for a system boiler and conventional hot water system if you have room for a tank
you could then just pump the showers , if you have the room and can get tanks high enough you might not even need pumps a low preasure shower mixer will give a decent shower if you get 6ft of head
there is a lot to be said for keeping it simple we dont get many queries on here regarding conventional systems as its tried and tested (low)technology
remember youll be paying to maintain it once its finished
sounds like youve got a fair sized job there where are you ??

I'm in Stopsley, nr Luton. It was a small 3 bed detached cottage, and we've extended round 3 sides. it will be a nice size, but it's not massive. We've stripped it right back to a shell, and we then had a blank canvas. So nothing is ruled out.
