Around what pressure should the mains cold water be? I'm seeing around 2 bar at the nearest point that I can measure to the incoming stop cock but the problem is that the cold water cistern fills very slowly & the central heating header tank wont fill at all!
We live in an old Victorian three storey house - the central heating header is in the loft & the cold water cistern is high up in the room below it. I would estimate that the cold water cistern is around 36 feet off the ground & the central heating header about 40 feet.
From memory, 2 bar should support a column of water of about 20m high.... so the upper tank should fill OK.
Any suggestions?
