A magnificent Grade 1 Listed Tudor Manor House situated within beautifully landscaped gardens and farmland in the heart of Worcestershire.
Due to the building being built in the thirteenth century, it has been added and adapted to over the years and was fitted with a more traditional gravity fed system with large tanks situated in the roof spaces. This meant that much of the property was relying on the head of water to push through the system and feed a high number of outlets. This meant that showers in a number of rooms were very poor and also flow during peak usage was also poor.
Christopher Hughes from CRH Plumbing & Heating was called into this property in Worcester back in 2019, Chris got in contact with Conor Reeves from Stuart Turner to discuss the best way to go about creating a solution. It was decided that the best course of action was to fit an Aquaboost In-Tank 1000 litre (Two Piece) Twin Pump Booster Set – ABI-0303-2S-SPC/M-1000-2. The reason for this is it is maintenance free, fit and forget and due to it having submersible pumps meant it is water cooled and low noise.
The two piece construction was also ideal as it allowed the tank to be installed in a much more desirable location within one of the two plant rooms. With the access limited due to the nature of the building, being able to construct the tank on site allowed for a smoother installation and no building alterations to accommodate it.
The new system is providing better pressure and flow to all 8 bathrooms, not to mention all the other outlets. With new flow rates being adaptable by programming of the system controls the desired outputs can be achieved based on the customers and the buildings requirements.
“Stuart Turner are one of the few companies who offer a product like an itank and help with the fitting and installation process which gives it a more personal feel” said Christopher Hughes.
