Low Hot water pressure

[woodyk664]

Can I use a pump to increase the pressure to my hot water tap? The run seems to be too long from the hot water cylinder.

 

[kevplumb]

yes
as long as it is a vented cylinder

thanks kevplumb
it is vented! would a pump from say a power shower work or do they make one just for this type of job?sorry a bit thick

 

[kevplumb]

yes you can get a single impeller pump for boosting hot water

Looks very similar to the old Monsoons

I don't specify S.T anymore, they have priced themselves out of the market IMO, I use Grunfoss, much better discounts to be had.

 

[kevplumb]
