The bloke next door to me is doing an attic conversion and has moved the cold water header tank that feeds the hot water cylinder and the cold taps in the bathroom.
It use to sit in the middle of the attic on a tressle approx 18 " high but now it is on the floor in the eaves Problem is the flow rate to the cold taps is now very poor but even worse there is no hot water coming from the taps.
The hot water cylinder is in a cupboard in the kitchen which is directly underneath the header tank but the hot water oulet comes back up into the attic and runs accross the attic floor and then back down to feed the bathroom and kitchen .
He can possibly raise the tank by 6" but no more. will this be enough to get a flow ?
Can a pump be fiited in line at the hot water cylinder to pump the hot water due to the negative head ??
Any help appreciated ?
