Water pump required, where in the house would it need to be located?

Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 2.55 PM

I have poor water pressure on the hot tap at the kitchen sink, I have a gravity feed tank (which is on the same floor level) do I need a pump and what sort and where in the house would it need to be located, if any one could advice me it would be greatly appreciated.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

If your cold supply's are gravity and you have mixer taps you may need to also pump the cold (except the kitchen which will be main) otherwise the hot can push back the cold once pumped.... You may also need to change all the toilet ball valves to deal with the new pressure otherwise they may continue to fill and overflow if the cold is pumped.

A shower pump will do the job, single impeller type, do not try to pump the cold main.
