The cold water supply to my flat is very poor - about 0.5 bars. I have spoken to Thames Water who say they are required by law to supply good pressure to the 3rd floor only. But I'm on the 6th floor of a large Victorian building. They say that I may install a pump straight off the cold water supply as long as the pump does not exceed 12 liters per minute otherwise I will need a break tank. What they can't seem to tell me is how many liters per minute I require for my property. Can anyone in this forum tell me?
The other issue is where do I put the home booster pump/tank? Should I install the pump in the basement which I co-own with 10 other freeholders who probably won't give me consent or in my flat where there is very little space. Again, my instinct tells me I should ideally have the pump working at ground level for greater efficiency. But as I may not get permission, is it okay for me to put the pump in my property on the 6th floor?
Lastly, can anyone recommend a reliable brand of booster pump? The one I had in mind was the Draper 24L Booster Pump 50L/Min Max Flow 240v.
