upgrade of water supply pipe to house

[georgeturner]

Thanks wiggy for that - I think the mole boring for the new pipe would be great in my case as it would save getting up the concrete in the side passage.... but there is also a plastic gas pipe in that area so it could be tricky.

Cheers,
George

Thanks again - I note the point about liability - I'll get the water co involved to do the connection.

BluePlumber The water accumulator ? Sorry to sound thick but I've never heard of them - other houses here have megaflows but I was hoping to avoid them as they are expensive and take up space. Would a water accumulator be big and exepensive?

An accumulator is very similar to an expansion vessel found on sealed heating systems only much bigger. Easy to fit, just requires a 22 feed from the mains with a check valve. only works with unvented cylinders etc or direct to cold water taps. Boosts flow only makes no difference to pressure.
