Hello,

Does anyone know how you can increase hot water pressure without
increasing the tank size or position or increasing the pipe size. I
was thinking if there is pump that you could add to the hot water
supply to increase the speed of the hot water flow. This is for an
open vented system.

Many thanks
Arif


A normal central heating pump can be fitted in the outlet of the hot water tank
to increase the flow. But you need to fit a flow switch device that detects
when the water is being demanded so that the pump isn't running continually.


Great for the info, but can i ask, how low shoud the pump be position
from the hot water drain off from the cylinder, and where can i get a
flow switch device and where do you connect this device as well as
wiring such an item. And is it really necessary for a flange.

Appreciate the answer so far.

Arif
