Hello there, have tried to find the asnwer from previous forums but failed, so here goes,
I would like to replace my old cold water tank (un covered, un insulated, ball valve leaking) with a new covered one and am hoping to get a smaller one (weight issues, paranoid about ceiling) and have noticed that even with the bath taps (the only 3/4" taps in house) running it does not get even near emptying. (flow in > flow out).
Is there some kind of ready reckoner to work out what size tank I need/ cansafely get away with and maybe save some weight when I fit a new tank.
One bath and bathroom sink, one kitchen sink.
Thanks in advance in vain hope that someone will help me
Tom
