USA Unvented cylinder - water pressure

[ShaunCorbs]

Would this be the reason why pressure low. Sorry, no idea about plumbing! Sucking cold water - what does this mean?

Yes and the 15mm service

It’s a typical builder install

Text the plumber now with what we’ve said then you have a record

Would it now be impossible to remove the cylinder?

I seriously cant believe this. Should i highlight anything other than the cylinder direction. He had discussed putting a pump on the cold water(under the stairs)? Is the pressure on outside tap good because all on 15mm pipe? If cylinder pipework was 15mm would it have been better pressure?

Is that a vertical Tempest cylinder that has been turned on its side and mounted horizontally?

If so, WTF???

Time to get a new, G3 qualified, plumber in to survey the installation and quote for fixing any issues.

I hope you haven't paid the loft conversion company yet... :-(

Was just thinking that. Would have to remove eaves plasterboard wall

I owe loft company 2k for ongoing issues...looks like thats gone.

He’s a cowboy. Should’ve done the cold feed right at the start. An accumulator or similar could help solve your problem but it certainly shouldn’t be at your expense. And no. Pressure and flow rate are key don’t drop to 15

At a minimum
