Pull down tap for low pressure systems?

[RrogerD]

Are there ANY pull-down kitchen taps available that would work on a gravity-fed (low pressure) system? We have about 0.4bar with the hot water in the Kitchen.

If I was to use the one that says min 0.5bar would it simply not work at all? Or will it just be a reduced flow?

What's the solution? I assume, fit a pump?

Thanks

Yes ,fit a pump. They will not work WELL, with gravity hot and mains cold.

Out of interest, without the pump would the hot water just not come through at all? Or will it be slow?
We have no problem with our current swan-neck mixer. Yes it's slower than the cold but certainly usable.

Yes ,hot water will come out ,but the flow won't be brilliant, the mains cold will be considerably stronger.

Sounds doable.
