At my mother-in-law's house in Thailand the mains water feeds into a tank, and a 250-watt Hitachi constant pressure pump supplies the house from the tank at a suitable almost-constant pressure.
This pump is working, but it's quite noisy and, even with only a toilet cistern drawing water, it's cycling on/off at about 2-second intervals, much to the annoyance of a neighbour.
The pump's about 7 years old, so the simple solution would be to replace it completely, but I'm just wondering if there's any simpler remedy. To confuse things a bit, my sister-in-law has been asking around, and tells me that she's been told that a square tank gives more-constant pressure. I think there's something lost in translation there, so any thoughts on that please?
