Evening all,
Finally pulled my finger out and started work fitting a pump to upgrade the water pressure for the bathroom. But a little unsure where to put the pump in the grand piping chain.
The current setup is that the hot and cold water pipes (gravity fed h/w cylinder, mains pressure cold - hence the need for extra pressure on the hot) emerge in the bathroom, run under the bath and towards the tap end. Once they get there they Tee of to the combined bath mixer / shower head and also off to the bathroom sink (separate hor and cold taps.
Question is do I put the pump in the chain before the pipes tee off to sink and bath, thus boosting the pressure to sink and bath, or should I re-jig the piping so that it tee's off for a un-pumped feed to the sink (not ar$ed about increased pressure for the sink), so only the pipes to the bath mixer / shower head get the pumped pressure?
Or doesn't it matter
