USA Unvented cylinder - water pressure

[Tim0212]

I may be hedging my bets here but is there a chance that these cowboys have actually accidentally bypassed the cylinder and your hot water is all coming from the Combi still

Thats exactly what i thought had happened because shower in loft hardly works when kitchen tap on

It wouldn’t as the water will take the easiest route and that’ll be to the kitchen tap

 

[Riley]

Turn on the shower does the boiler fire up

 

[Tim0212]

No warranty could split due to not designed for that

Have they allowed for the weight load in that area

It does sit on a huge 'I' beam and this loft firm have done hundreds of these. Doesnt mean their installers haven't been completely useless!

Based on what you’ve told us I wouldn’t trust any of it and would be getting it independently signed off

The boiler doesnt come on when either showers are on but it does come on with kitchen tap.

I will do. Thanks for your advice. Its much appreciated. What i still dont understand though is why when i first used the shower on first floor it was like a power shower!

I don’t think it matters mate. Get it fixed properly and safely. Let us know how you go

I will do. Thanks again.

Just one further question. The plumber put a pump on the cold water supply because he said without it i wouldnt get many showers worth. Is this kind of pump needed on vertically installed units or did he know what he was doing was rubbish and decided to get the best out of it? He advised at the time that he was going to tell the loft firm that it needed one.
