0.5 bar working pressure, 15 litres per min cold main

Accumulator will sort your flow problems with ease.....Duel stream's are good with an unvented cylinder,.

without knowing standing pressure thats a guess.

TUT TUT

err did i say that ?????

nope, i was asking you a question sorry if i wasnt meant to

 

[kevplumb]

ok listen smug git you came on here to ask advice

so take the advice

i never said an accumulator wouldnt work but it runs out of steam unless you have mega bucks and the space

so on a personal note take your freakin attitude and freakin stuff it

if your so freakin clever why are you askin on a DIY forum

 

[looneyfitter]

really starting to enjoy this site.

On another note. Ive just thought on as per the accumulator, havent fiitted one for a while (so i may be wrong) but doesnt the spec go on what the working pressure is and not the standing pressure?

 

[kevplumb]

na they charge on the standing press

 

[looneyfitter]

ah rite matey.... I could have swarn they have a min working pressure too.

Not to worry... As said its been a while.

not smug nor claimed to be clever

i merely came on here to ask any fellow professionals a question

quite why youre so upset im not sure, sorry for any offence i have caused you

dunno what attitude you think i have from a couple of answers on an internet forum mind

 

[kevplumb]

yeah fair comment fella
i apologise
got a bit hot under the collar

just had a little read up. They need a min of 2bar working pressure (dynamic). Theyre different than a ex vsl in the way that they have a balloon inside as oposed to a flat diapragham. Pretty good to be honest. I fitted 2 bigguns in a hotel a few years ago, Turned the water off at the mains and still got water out of the taps with good pressure for at least 10-15 mins. Incoming main was only 28mm too. In excess of 30 rooms!!!!

 

[kevplumb]

well seeing as the OP only has 0.5 dynamic methinks it's a non starter

 

[greemyamochop]

no probs kevplumb happens to as all!!!

just trying to find a decent solution for a reasonable price and got about 10 different scenarios in my head but none seem to fulfill the customers needs and budget

Looks that way matey....

How about boosted cold water?

 

[greemyamochop]

yeah i said previously i like the crie as a booster but it adds about £2k to the price that i dont think he has

guess im looking for something not out there

You can get a CWS booster pump from Machine mart http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cbm130ss-1in-stainless-steel-booster-pum. Coupled too 1 or 2 CWS tanks.. Can be done for less than £600 matey

Did this setup to a 6 bedroom guest house last year. No problems whatsoever
