Indirect hot water tank

Hi,

I am replacing my leaking copper cylinder (400mm x 900mm). I have low water pressure. If i replace it with a 450mm x 900mm, will there be a noticeable improvement. How large can i go without changing other items to compensate for the increase in stored water?

Thanks,

Gary.
