Heating system ? Vented? Unvented?

[Paul Staniland]

Hi,
I had my heating upgraded a few years back by my housing association. I had electric heaters before now I have hot water radiators. I still have a tank in the loft and a hot water tank in the cupboard. Cold water comes from the tank in the loft. Hot water also has low pressure too. Looking at the attached photo, I'm not sure if I have an unvented system.
Please advise, as I'm not sure if this effects the shower pump install that is looming?
Thanks
Paul

Thanks. That sounds good. I can still go with the pump fed from the tank in the loft and water from the tank with a surrey flange?

Yeah, sealed heating, open vented hot water. Absolutely fine to install a shower pump. Recommend fitting a Surrey flange to the hot water cylinder and make sure you put a new dedicated cold feed in from the cold water storage tank.

50’s ok , are you sure the cold is tank fed .

Yes, toilet and sink are definitely from the tank. We don't drink from that tap. Running a new cold feed to so we can have drinking water in the bathroom.
