Hi
We had installed Indirect Unvented Cylinder(300L CentreStore) 3 years ago,as we had poor shower head pressure/flow with our Combi Boiler.
Lately we feel the shower flow or pressure has reduced.Previously we could run two or more showers/tap at same time,but nowadays once we have a tap open downstairs the shower flow reduces to a trickle.
What could possibly be the reason?
We get the combi-boiler and the Cylinder serviced annually and it is not due for another 4 months.
Any ideas?
Many Thanks
 
You noticed any change in your mains pressure?
 
Has the cold mains flow and pressure altered at the kitchen tap , i.e road been up , new houses close by etc etc
 
no,the mains pressure hasn't decreased.
may I add that we noticed it more after coming back from holiday(shutting off the combi boiler for 10 days)

Could be the inlet filter is blocked if you can manage until it's serviced tell them then if you can't call them out next week etc

Hi, I'm looking to purchase a 300L unvented indirect cylinder to work with a standard heat only boiler. I may have solar panels in the future, but likely the PV kind rather than the thermal kind, and won't be having heat pump in the future. So the cylinder would be connected to the boiler at...
