Hi,
I have a cold water tank and the hot water cylinder and the boiler, all sitting on the floor in the loft and supplying downstairs bathroom and the kitchen.
The hot/cold water supplies for the shower and the kitchen come from the mains and the cylinder and the pressure is fine.
The cold water for the loo, wash basin and the bath taps comes from the tank. The reason for the split was to eliminate drop of the pressure when having a shower and someone turns cold water tap in the kitchen or wash basin.
I had a plumber around who advised that because the tank is sitting on the floor I can't use a standard pump and need a "indirectional" (can't remember its name) one that costs around £400.
I can raise the tank to about 0.5m (put it on a wooden frame etc.) but will this allow me to use a cheaper water pumps ?
What pump would be ideal for this kind of arrangment ?
Thanks
