What sort of pressure do you get from the average vented hot water system?
Got a few kitchen taps to change and grohe only go down to o.5
 
How high is the tank from the cylinder ?

Normally 0.1-0.4 bar
 
How high is the cold water storage tank (that feeds the hot water cylinder) above the draw off point?
Measure ( height), it in meters and that will give you a close enough idea of pressure.
e.g. If it was 6 meters, you would have 0.6 bar, if it was 8 meters, you would have 0.8 bar. and so on.
