We recently had a break tank and pump fitted, as we have a supply from a natural stream so pressure goes up and down, we had a 500l tank and pump all fitted for about £1200 inc VAT, but you do need space for a tank, doesn't have to be 500l and they do fancy slimline things but they do of course increase the cost

do you know your incoming pressure?

Boiler isn't happy, service engineer says it's because our flow rate from the mains is only 4 or 5l/m instead of the 8 or 9 we should be getting. I suspect Thames Water will do fuck all about this.
He suggested a booster pump for the boiler supply, but warned that as it would draw from the mains the cold supply to the shower etc would be reduced so the mixing at the shower could be out of wack. Just looked into whole-flat boosting but it looks like we'd need a tank... sounds expensive.
Anyone have experience of this?
