Hi,
A mate lives in a house with a flat roof, so consequently, the cold water storage tank is at head hight on the 1st floor. What this means is that pressure of the hot and cold water upstairs is virtually non-existent.
Is it ok to install a pump in the airing cupboard to boost both the hot and cold water feeds for the bathroom, and if so, where is the best place to put the hot water connection (i.e. directly after the water exits the cylinder before the vent pipe, or after the vent pipe?)
Also, how will the pump be affected if only cold water is being demanded (i.e. will it still try to pump the hot water?)
Lastly (sorry for going on
), the toilet cistern has what looks like an equilibrium valve. Are these suitable for such low pressure, as currently it takes about an hour to refill after flushing
Thanks for your help, guys.
