pressure and flow are not one and the same thing. You can have low pressure and high flow and low flow and high pressure. You have a flow issue right now with the cold water. An increase in pipe diam from the vented, unpressuried tank in the loft to the pump inlet would help. The pump won't be able to physically put more water through but a larger diam pipe reduced into the pump will aid both volume (flow) and add some pressure (force)new shower cabin with a jets ect and had not enough pressure but was easier and seemed to be more practical to boost whole system then just shower alone
i will post tomorrow when i am homeCan you post a pic of the piping / cylinder cupboard
