There are isolated properties with no mains electric and water from a
very long pipe going up the hill. Often the pressure is considerable
verging on dangerous and the supply is virtually unlimited. It would
work for them I guess.

Our water has a head of about 120metres and is regulated down at the
stopcock. But we do have mains electricity, so I don't bother to make
use of the excess 6bar.
