shower when suddenly a cold flow of water hits
you, meaning your partner or child has turned on

thing of the past with the uptake of unvented hot
water systems which provide steady and reliable
hot water pressure, which is equal to the cold
water mains pressure (provided by the local water

problem of no pressure in the top floor showers)
and eliminating the need for header tanks in the
loft.
