Cold Water Storage Tank Relocation

[Softus]

The original reason for storing water was to ride any interruption in service.

Today, this is less necessary in many places in the UK, so people are being tempted into having mains-only systems.

The reason for supplying the kitchen tap from the mains is that it's a legal requirement - stored water is not sufficiently free of bacteria, or the risk of bacteria, to be safe to drink.

Garden taps are plumbed from the mains out of convenience - they're usually sited close enough to the kitchen to use that supply.

Many thanks.

Just had a look at my system, and the main feed into the house feeds everything, the only thing the cold water tank supplies is the hot water cylinder.
