How do I know if a product is suitable for my water system?
Our products will be advertised with a minimum rating for the recommend pressure in your property. Please below for reference:
LP Minimum 0.2 Bar
MP Minimum 0.5 Bar
HP1 Minimum 1 Bar
HP2 Minimum 2 Bar
HP3 Minimum 3 Bar
It is always recommended to consult your installer before purchasing but in general:
LP systems are water tanks in your loft space with a hot water cylinder. These are older systems and are often used in older houses.
Combination boilers typically run between 1 and 1.5 bar water pressure.
Pressurised systems, sometimes called Megaflows, are usually 3 bar water pressure
Products with a lower pressure rating can always be used on higher pressure systems up to 5 bar. LP products can be used on a Megaflow, but a HP3 cannot be used with a water tank without a pump.
