Do you lose water pressure when you use a water heater?

Many thanks

No.
Pressure is pushing though the heater, heater is the same (or similar) bore to the inlet/outlet of your hosereel.

You may use more water if you used to run a low flow and you turn the flow up to get the boiler to run at optimum.

Any negatives you experience will be outweighed by the positives of using hot...

Thanks Darren.
I have a analogue pump controller (ionic pro 5) and the flow is already a bit too low for me,even with the controller at the max. So i was worry with a heater if it could be even slower.

Really?
Try disconnecting your controller-if it's too low for you still you may have a partial blockage.
Full speed on a variflow is more than enough for everyone I know...

It's possible.
I run mine on 1/3 and I work fast
It's fine for me.
I don't know how you work though...

Your pump should have a lpm figure, test it, run it on full for 10 minutes, see how many litres it's pumped.
That's the only way you'll really know...

Flow controler units are too much hassle just use without

You get more pressure with hot water particularly if the hoses expand. You will see the pressure increase when you shut the pole valve (dead end).

Don't get confused with pressure and flow.

Also you may find the water is restricted if most of the hose is left on reel ,the hose gets warm them it goes soft and collapses
