I installed a replacement 50 gallon tank in the loft but on a 4/5 foot tall stand.
(The cold feed to the cylinder was fitted just above above the cold feed to the shower)
2 x 22mm feeds to an Aqualisa control in the shower room on the ground floor.
The larger diameter flexible pipe to the shower head maintains the flow rate.
It gives me a wetting shower rather than a massage but of course is a little slow to warm up due to the long pipe run.
I chickened out fitting an Essex flange.
As it is a very old cylinder a Surrey flange was a non starter.
No pumps to worry about and yet again the cold tank came in useful this week when one of the large mains failed and we had no water supply for a few hours.
