Hi All,
I have a GrundFos Home Booster, the 3.5bar version which has transformed my flat, its used for every tap aside from the kitchen cold tap and the kitchen white goods that need mains, it also supplies the pressure for my combi boiler that is the hot water and central heating system.
I found that when there are multiple people using the water the GrundFos tank empties fairly quickly because the mains pressure here is terrible. We're in an old Georgian house converted into 7 flats, I'm on the third floor.
My question is what mains pump can I install that will boost the mains pressure so that the GrundFos will not suffer from an emptying tank when the demand for hot water is high. Becuase I have a combi boiler it means in theory I could run hot water endlessly, i'd like to boost the mains so this is possible. Do i have to avoid boosting the cold water for the kitchen cold tap? Shall i boost just the inlet to the GrundFos tank? shall i boost the mains into the flat? Im not sure what i should do nor do i know what would be the best pump option. Something not too loud but powerful and reliable
I'd appreciate any advice
Thanks
