We need to get a new sink & tap for kitchen.
Planning on getting a Blanco (BlancoMetra XL 6 S Silgranit) which comes with:
Cleo BM6100 chrome tap
With 3.5inch pop up waste kit
BFK003 Plumbing kit
(BTW also planning on fitting an InSinkerator 65 (with airswitch) too on a new quartz worktop and also sticking in a water softener).
Now, my better half does not like the Blanco Cleo 6100 much, and wants an upgrade, ideally to one with a pull-out nozzle e.g. Blanco Linus- S Tap [min. 1.0 bar pressure (approx 10-metre head) preferred 1.0-1.5 bar ]
Thing is the Cleo is "suitable for low pressure gravity and pressure systems (max. 5.0 bar), Min. 0.3 bar pressure (approx. 3 metre head). " - and I believe we need a low-pressure tap....
The house is detached normal Ground and first floor. We have a newish Worcester condensing boiler, but it’s not a combi. Our heating / hot water is unvented I think (there is a cold-water tank in the loft in use but the smaller tank that was used before for heating is dead now, and I top up the system just under the boiler to 1.5 Bar). I reckon the drop from Loft cold water tank to kitchen sink tap will be nearly exactly 4m i.e. 0.4 Bar is what I assume is coming out of the how water pie at kitchen sink.
1. Can we risk the Blanco Linus- S purchase, or do we really need to go for a low pressure tap?
2. I'm guessing I really ought to get the pressure measured to be sure?
3. Are there any low-pressure alternatives that have a pull-out nozzle?
Cheers,
M'
