thanks Agile and friends... i did a quick search about legionella thingy wow scary, they saidas long as you keep the water temperature below 20 and flush the whole system once a week if it's not being used frequently, should be fine.... in my case i'm gonna have someone doing this for me...

thanks Dan...hopefully one more question for tonight: is a 400 litres tank enough to feed my gas water heater? (it will be just for one kitchen sink, 1 bath sink, and 1 bath/shower, no central heating) water supply over there can be cut for 1 day sometimes, that's why i am having...

hello friends I have a situation where cold water supply is unreliable and when it is running it is very low pressure (less than one bar, it's in morocco) my first option is to have a hot water cylinder (electric) fed by gravity, but I'd rather use gas coz i've got it installed, and may be...

Hi friends, i am hoping to install a cold water tank dedicated only for a shower, my questions for you wizards: 1) is there a clever shower unit that will suck the water from my cold water tank, heats it and pump it (water from cold water tank will be about 0.6 meters from cold water tank...

ciao friends, can anyone tell me what is the difference between an electric water heater (like the cylinder from chaffoteaux) and a hot water cylinder (green stuff)----- i have got a situation of a totally unreliable stupid water supply, and everything will be fed via a cold water tank...

hi JohnD, i just looked at ur links (screwfix) and noted that there's a direct and an undirect hot water cylinders, what's the one in my case??please (500 litres cold water tank will feed cold taps and the cylinder with immersion heater)

u're right JohnD, maybe 400 to 500 litres then will do....i want enough water for at least two days just in case :)
