Wagas Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagas Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 Is your water pressure affected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 24 minutes ago, Wagas said: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our 300l cylinder is downstairs in the plant room with no problem. As @PeterW said, if your mainspressure is ok, you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagas Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagas Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
