Unvented system (Megaflow or similar)

    Hi there,

    We live in a 1970's house and are trying to bring it into the 21st century :)

    We are exploring our options for a pressurised system and are looking at installing megaflow (or something similar)

    I know nothing about the pros and cons apart from what i've read - costly to install and water pressure might be an issue.

    How do I test water pressure? Is it something a plumber can do?

    Is an unvented system a good option? Does anyone have one - and how do you find it (we're a family of 5)

    Any replies - or links to replies to previously asked similar questions, much appreciated.

    thanks :)

    Are you talking about your heating or plumbing system .

    Our plumbing system. We currently have a pump in the hot press but need to install new showers & baths upstairs.

    Biggest disadvantage as far as I've read is no storage water so if mains cut off we have nothing in reserve. Water pressure also seems to be a big issue.

    use a storage tank and a pump supplying the cylinder and fixtures , by the sound of it you are thinking of feeding the cylinder via the incoming mains .
