That depends entirely on the 'head' from the header tank.

Exactly. Do you think they will give him planning permission to install

a

100 foot water tower in the garden?

You can get a delightful high flow rate shower with the head that nearly
any house can provide for a gravity fed system.


And have a water bill through the roof, wasting a valuable resource. Duh!
Stick to the 100 foot tower. Best of luck.


I built the 100 foot water tower and plumbed it to my HWC with 28mm pipe
with no bends. The flow still wasn't strong enough. I think I'll have
to forget the gravity idea and install two combis instead.
