    Pump Position

    Andy The pump is next to the hot water tank on the floor. I fitted it 5 years ago. Plumberdan Yes the entire hot water system but I can't see how pulling Hot water from the hot water tank would make hot water flow into the storage tank in the loft.

    Pump Position

    I have a pump that works fine increasing the flow to my shower from the hot water tank. As the flow to my taps is low can I reposition the pump onto the main hot water outlet from the tank to allow increased pressure to shower and taps? Alfie
