Stuart Turner. What do I need? Low pressure and flow rate from mains line.

Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 4.08 PM

Rebuilding my house. Will have 5 bathrooms. In coming water pipe is low pressure and flow rate. I’ve been burnt before doing a 6 bed HMO with all en-suites and 3 showers can be had at the same time with no enhancement. Had I known about the problem, I would have considered Stuart turner. Does Stuart turner offer a design service? They offer loads of products but not sure which one to consider. Shower pump or accumulator? We wont be operating all showers at the same time in the new house but rather cater for it given we have very low pressure and flow rate currently. I will consider upgrading the water pipe to get a better flow rate. Any thoughts of what I should get? What’s the maintenance issues? E.g shower pump hide behind the shower fixing? So is access an issue? Ultimately I want to make sure the pressure and flow is decent at all times

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Best option break tank and booster kit allow approx 11 LPM per shower delivery also consider anti legionella and secondary return for hot water https://www.anchorpumps.com/salamander-tankboost-450l-3-bar-water-booster-system?gbraid=0AAAAADNNiOwYqRD_iFBmoIm9ML2gzmXYO&gclid=CjwKCAiAs6-sBhBmEiwA1Nl8s6MYe-OPauoeV81ICvYahVVHeirnCR2vbTonJl74Qjtn-SK1XpAA3xoCHKYQAvD_BwE

Hey, I would recommend these. The pump and the expansion vessel will suplly adequate water pressure and flow. Also you can add more or bigger vessel if needed. https://www.anglianpumping.com/product/water-boosting-pumps/grundfos-scala1-3-35-fixed-speed-home-booster-99530409?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAqNSsBhAvEiwAn_tmxc4_mz5Ode22XNiWGr3YO-y-cd14WWimo0sR82r05Z13PX8ermF53xoCZDwQAvD_BwE https://pumpexpress.co.uk/shop/challenger-series-200-litre-vertical-pressure-vessel/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAqNSsBhAvEiwAn_tmxawtAp-byULYZ0neyOlkO4L2ttGAO0S6Fv6IjWkyP5MDd3BkN-_UuRoCe2AQAvD_BwE

If you go on stuart turner's website and search for "site survey", you can input your system requirements, static and dynamic water pressure and they will advise which of their products will work. Best to find a good plumber though who understands system design and pipe sizing. You can't just fit a couples mains boosts and expect to have good flow rates in all bathrooms.
