HI all
I installed a new (2nd) shower and installed a bigger pump to drive both.
Have two 25gal CWtanks linked as storage in small loft above the bathroom. This has turned out to be too small (as expected). The problem is the loft will not hold more. I do have more loft space above the room next door that will fit 70gal tank , BUT this is at a higher level (about 3ft)
I see three options
1) new tank in other loft is use to supply cold to pump (leave HW cylinder and taps from existing CW tank).
2) new tank supplies HW cylinder (leave cold to pump and taps from existing tank)
3) plumb new tank outlet into existing tank outlet pipe, but with double check valve to stop higher tank filling lower tank.!?
Does HW or CW usually need larger storage (HW stored at 60).
Option 3 would supply as demanded, but not sure if it is allowed or would work well.
thanks
