Hi - this is a complicated setup but will try to explain...
Hot water cylinder already has an Essex flange that I fitted which leads to a 2.6 bar Stuart Turner pump. This only feeds one shower at the moment - negative head but universal pump fitted.
The rest of the hot water taps are supplied via the normal supply pipe from the top of the cylinder that comes out in 22mm down through the floor to taps and tees up to tank for vent pipe.
Issue is that since having some work done and kitchen moved, the pressure at the hot water taps is now very low. The pump I've got would be strong enough to do them all but my question is whether I can just splice into the 22mm that also has the vent pipe on it and cap off the exit pipe from top of tank or would the pressure from the pump also force water out of the vent pipe?
Thanks in advance,
