ASHP cyclinder on ground floor?

[Wagas]

Is it possible to have a cylinder on the ground floor with bathrooms upstairs? Specifically the ecodan packaged cylinder. I can't seem to find much online.

 

Upstairs space is a bit tight to house it.

 

Thanks

I sited my Gledhill cylinder on the ground floor For the same reason as you

Is your water pressure affected?

no - an unvented cylinder is mains pressure. As long as you have decent mains pressure then it is fine. If you start with poor mains pressure, any upstairs tap will be affected.

Yes.  Our 300l cylinder is downstairs in the plant room with no problem.  As @PeterW said, if your mainspressure is ok, you should be fine.

Thanks for the replies. My only concern is the plot is 100m from the water mains so I'm not sure what the pressure will be like

Only way to find out is test it. If it’s 100m and level then you would be best off using a 32mm supply pipe and reducing at the house and really looking properly at the feeds to WCs, taps etc and using a mix of 10/15/22mm pipe where appropriate. 
 

What’s the route / topology of the supply pipe to the house ..?

100m down a gentle slope I hope ?

[Wagas]

It's a straight 100m line other than the last 10m which is a right angle. It's pretty level and I did use 32mm pipe.

Ok so if it’s in then the quickest thing to do is a static and dynamic pressure test. 
 

Anything over 3 bar and your laughing.
