Hi all,
We moved into our current home 18-months ago and the following heating/ HW system was already in place: Worcester Bosch 24i system boiler with loft water tank and ancient cylinder (c.100 litre capacity). This looks after 17 rads and two bathrooms. In order to improve water pressure in the showers, we installed a 4 Bar Stuart Turner Monsoon Pump. Very effective but creates a lot of noise and it comes on even when we flush the toilets (Positive Head Twin Booster Pump). I also had a Kinetico 2050c water softener installed as we are in a hard water area.
Unfortunately, the pump is driving my wife nuts and I have decided to get an unvented cylinder installed as a replacement. We are planning to add a further four bathrooms when we extend in the future and we may then supplement the cylinder with a pumped accumulator and replace the boiler with a more powerful model.
Our plumber has suggested the Megaflo Eco 300I Indirect, this should provide sufficient extra capacity for our future requirements. I'm fine with Megaflo as a brand and aware that there are many alternatives available at more competitive prices. If we focus on Megaflo, can you please advise whether I should go with the Eco or Eco Plus variant? I like the sound of the Eco Plus as it is capable of providing better flow but my plumber thinks the Eco is all we will need.
Thanks in advance!
