Good morning everyone and thanks again for the responses so far. I've gone away over the weekend and bought a bucket to try and measure flow a bit more accurately! I did this by opening all three mains tap on the bottom floor (outside, kitchen, utility) and collected water for 10 seconds from each of them. I then measured how much water was in the bucket by decanting into a measuring jug and multiplying by six to give a flow measure per minute. Doing this has largely confirmed the measurements above (albeit with slightly less flow than I'd originally thought):
Flow Rate: 23 litres/min (down from 26 litres when measured previously using the Weir cup)
Static Pressure: 2.2bar (measured from outside tap)
Dynamic Pressure: 1.6 bar when taking 10 litres/min off the kitchen tap
Dynamic pressure: 1.2bar when taking 16 litres/min off both the kitchen and utility tap down from 18 litres when measured previously using the Weir cup)
Question: I realise that these aren't stellar numbers, however am I likely to get reasonable performance out of an unvented cylinder?
All the best
John
