    Hi All,

    Have a mobile home on a mains water supply. Unfortunately the pressure is poor and gets worse the more people in the park during peak times.

    Not overly worried about it except for shower, the hot water is supplied by a gas combi boiler so when the pressure drops off the boiler cuts out.

    I'm thinking of installing a tank and pump to feed the boiler. I'm not looking to spend a fortune as we only use it at weekends and the odd full weeks here and there.

    Thinking of something along the lines of the following setup.

    One of those 200L blue barrels with a small handy submersible pump like this https://m-eur.vevor.com/reviews/010516397017.html

    And a controller like this,

    Would I need an expansion Vessel aswell?

    I take it I just would just need to plumb the outlet of the pump to the cold inlet on the boiler and the cold inlet of the shower mixer valve.

    As I said I'm not overly fussed about the sinks etc as I would live with it.

    I would need to set it up so I could drain it off at the end of the year, disconnect it easily and bring it in for the winter.

    Am I missing anything?
