I have fitted a new bath and taps this weekend. The hot water pressure was poor prior to fitting and I suspected fitting new taps would not help the situation and yes, the pressure is now appalling! The cold supply is mains and is still good.
The system is as follows...
1st floor maisonette with loft
Back boiler in lounge
200 litre hot water cylinder in lounge cupboard (may be less, its pretty big tho)
Cold water storage tank in loft
3/4 inch hot pipe from cylinder around house (kitchen sink, bath and basin only)
Can I fit a pump in the loft to boost the hot water pressure to the three taps? I only need to boost the hot water, the cold is fine. To be honest the bathroom is the only room thats suffering from low pressure but im assuming it wont do any harm to boost the whole system?
If it is suitable can someone recommend me a pump?
Any advice greatly received.
EDIT - the hot water pipe runs from the cylinder back in to the loft and then to the kitchen & then bathroom. I am proposing putting the pump on the supply from the cylinder to the taps not the from the tank to the cylinder (hope that makes sense).
