When i put in a new bathroom, the most head i could get was 1.1m. So the hot water pressure was useless. I got a second hand pump really cheap, a qt80, and installed it and its fine (ish).
Ive posted this info before when i was a member but fogot my log in stuff etc
As i never had a flange fitted, after a while the air built up and the performance dropped, i had to turn the hot water tap on, put my finger over the hole and then turn the cold mains on for 10 seconds that blasted the air up into the header...
I decided to by a techflange, which was reccomended by techflow. Got a plumber to come and quickly fit it, but when he got here the new techflange had a thread but so did my hot water tank, as its 10 years old..so both were male threads or female thread. To get around it we just changed the feed of the pump to where it exits the top of the tank, it tees of down to the pump, as it didnt tee off to the pump untill down at floor level. The result is not as much air build up.
I also think my pump is not as good as it should be, so im going to buy a new one, but they recommend flanges, but is there someway of converting my thread? square peg round hole i mean. so the new flange can screw in?
Also as i have just the minimum of head, and swapped for a negative pump would the performance be better?
