In the next month I've having my boiler, HW cylinder and CW tank replaced.
As we're also thinking about revamping the bathroom in the near future, I'm trying to plan ahead and get the plumbing ready for the posibility of a power shower.
I'll have an extra outlet on the CW tank for the cold feed to the pump, but I'm struggling to figure out how to get the hot feed from the HW cylinder to the pump, which will be in the bathroom...(no room in the airing cupboard)
I'm having a dedicated flange fitted to the HW cylinder, (I can't remember which county it comes from!!), ready to feed a pump, but once the cylinder is installed there will be no way to feed pipework from there to the bathroom.
After this long explanation, comes my question..... can I feed the hot feed back up into the loft, across, then down into the bathroom, and if so, will that need a "negative head" pump or a normal "positive head" pump?
(CW tank is in the loft, HWC is in the airing cupboard, 22mm pipe used for everything.)
Thanks in advance,
Daryll.
