Hello,
This site has helped me loads over the last few weeks to assist in the installation of a cheap and cheerful power shower (1.5 bar required 3.0 max) and to correct the odd leaking stop cock and rad valve.
I just need a few questions answering before I go any further:
The cold water is fine as I have tapped off the 15mm mains cold that runs under the hot water tank.
I have a gravity fed system. Large Black Tank (in bathroom top level approx. 1.25 m above shower head) feeds into HW tank. Problem is the HW pressure, which I have taken from the tanks 22mm pipe and branched to a 15mm, which then feeds into my mixer shower.
Can I install a single pump to increase the pressure of the HW? and if so, where is the best position for the pump: Between the 22mm/15mm pipe and the mixer?
Also, one of the mixer connectors will not stop dripping it's only a small drip but I've had it off re-PTFE'd it three times now and it just wont stop dripping. It's a pressure connection, with olive to plastic 15mm pipe (which has the additional strengthening inserts in the end). Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance.
P.S. If you need pictures or further description of system, tank, shower, etc. I'll be more than welcome to supply them.
