tanks tckly t fraid that went over my head like a blackbird(the plane not the bird) way..way....way.... anyways found an old pressure gauge from a ch safety valve in the shed, rigged it up and got 1.8 bar just below cistern stopcock(0bar with kitchen tap on full), and 3.5-4l/min into a...

i realise flowrate and pressure are diffrent animals, but surely there is some general 'rule of thumb' which would say, eg 9l/min from a 15mm outlet=1bar pressure, roughly and at that outlet only etc, and old hands out there not hard at work now.. ??

quick question is there a formua to calculate water pressure(at the outlet height), by noting the flow l/min , for given pipe sizes say 15 or 22mm etc..?? rather than buying a possibly inaccurate cheapo gauge, for a one off job any takers :?:

thanks all, especially ebn54 for the link to the research well that puts that one to bed for me anyway. confirms what my gut instinct was telling me anyway,... any nice 'lining-up' or 'polarisation' of molecules or crystals, whatever is going to get pretty jumbled up in any heat exchange...

hi your pump is probably not kicking in when the outlet is in the holder because there is no enough 'head'(distance between your shower head and bottom of cold water tank) to activate the flow switch in the pump. when you lower the spray head u are effectively increasing the 'head' to a...
