It will need to flow hot and cold to give even pressure I would have thought, but basically, yes.

It has magnetic sensors on the pipes that activate when a tap is turned on, which I imagine turns little impellers in the pipe. Tap water flows, the impeller turns, the magnet switches and the pump turns on. Turn the tap off, vice versa.

That sounds like a plan then. Cheers Chris x

I would add, the monsoons make for a belting shower. I've not encountered better, power showers included.

With a multi adjustable head, it really is good.

Another thing that is driving me insane is if you turn the hot water on for a bath there is bumping and banging from the airing cupboard that would rival Jordan's bedroom...... it sounds like some is trying to get out of the cylinder so wondered if it was air in there?

Is there a reason why you cant put the tank in the loft,this will increase hw pressure and having it as high as possible in the loft

Very likely to be air but the open vent should be piped to let any air ( or gases released when the water is heated) to escape easily. 

An air lock could make a weak shower unusable so well worth investigating the route of the open vent before spending any money

Open vent??

Where the hot water comes out the top of the cylinder it should connect to a tee piece and then proceed up and over into the  tank and should be about 1.5" below the top of the tank,check its not being fowled by the tank insulation and lid

Open vent??

If your stat is knackered and the water boils, the open vent saves there being a Jaime type incident.
