Before renovating the bathroom and kitchen we need to replace our old hot water cylinder. It's currently in a cupboard in the kitchen, the plan is to put a new cylinder in the ceiling space above the bathroom (which is next to the kitchen). I'll create a hole in the bathroom ceiling for the cylinder to go up through, as the bathroom will be relined during its renovation anyway. Then we'll gain a whole lot of space in the kitchen.
I have to admit I'm confused with mains pressure vs low pressure and I have no idea which to buy. Is it simply a matter of how much pressure you like in the shower?
Another thread mentions that mains pressure cylinders will only last 10 years - that pretty much rules it out in my case, as replacing the cylinder would require a bit of demolition and reconstruction every 10 years. But as I understand it low pressure is the less desirable option, with lower shower pressure and limited choice in tapware. (In fact, if I have a mains pressure cylinder put in, will I need to replace all the tapware in the house straight away?)
This is for our PPOR.
