How to boost hot water pressure

[philippe]

hot water pressure to bath taps/basin in upstairs bathroom is very poor,downstairs is ok. we have a vented hot water cylinder with header tank, and baxi back boiler in lounge ,how can we boost pressure in bathroom (answer if possible with pipe/pump conection details )
thanks in advance :rockon2:

lift the tank height in the loft. stick in different hot water system. move bathroom downstairs. Fit better taps.

welcome to the forum Philippe.
has the flow gradually got worse? could be crusted up pipes if there old.
every meter you lift the cold tank will give a pressure increase of 0.1 bar
or fit a combi boiler, unvented cylinder???

hi, thanks the pipes under bath have been replaced and new taps fitted but problem still exists and i said a VENTED HWC not UNVENTED cheers philippe

PS will try lifting header tank before fitting a pump in the system but would still like to know how/what/where to fit pump its allways good to have knowlege
cheers philippe

most pumps now specify the best place is at the bottom of the cylinder

if you look at the vid it only boosts the shower!! recognises the difference between bath and shower for some reason
