How can I increase my water pressure when I have good mains incoming pressure but low pressure and flow rate inside my home?

How can I increase my water pressure when I have good mains incoming pressure but low pressure and flow rate inside my home?

If your showers and taps are weak and you are suffering from low water pressure inside your house, one of the most effective solutions is to install a Stuart Turner Mainsboost Vessel or an Accumulator.

What Is a Mainsboost Vessel or Accumulator?

An Accumulator or Mainsboost Vessel is designed for mains pressurised systems ie. unvented hot water cylinders, combi boilers and system boilers, whereby the incoming mains pressure is above 2.5 bar, but yet the internal flow rate is slow as it is inadequate to meet the household’s demands.

An Accumulator stores cold water under pressure, ready to deliver instant, high-flow water supply to multiple outlets, even during high usage times of the day.

Key Benefits:

  • Improves water pressure and flow across your property on multiple outlets simultaneously
  • Silent operation – no pumps, no noise
  • No electrical supply required
  • Ideal for properties with good incoming pressure but yet poor flow rate within home
  • Scalable – add more Mainsboost Add-on units as needed
  • Compatible with unvented cylinders, combi boilers and system boilers
  • Available in multiple sizes from 100 litre to 450 litre capacity, depending on your requirements

What If My Pressure Is Below 2.5 Bar?

If your incoming mains water pressure is less than 2.5 bar, the system can be upgraded with a Mainsboost Charger pump. This pump works alongside the vessel to boost both pressure and flow, providing a comprehensive fix for low-pressure households.

Custom Solutions for Every Home

Every home is different — which is why we assess your existing water system and test your incoming mains pressure before recommending a Mainsboost setup. Whether you need one vessel or a larger configuration with multiple add-on units, we’ll design and install a system tailored to your needs.
