Boosting hot water pressure (was "Kitchen Mixer Tap with hose")
Unfortunately my wife read the replies to my query on extendable
kitchen mixer taps, and hot footed it off Homebase - even more pleased as it was a 10% off day. I also didn't read all the thread and missed Mike Ring's warning about pressure in the hot water system - I also didn't spot the small print comment in the instructions about greater than 5m head. So you can guess what is coming guys - what can I do about it ? The head is a bare 5m and the hot water flow is not very good to say the least from this tap. Can I get a booster pump? There might be an attraction in this in that there is a regular complaint through the winter about the flow from the electric shower, and can't we have a 'normal' one ! Is there some way these 2 problems can be solved together. The shower is next door to the kitchen so would share the same supply. Rob |

Having written the posting I then did the sensible thing of looking in the atchives and found a number of useful answers. However the one thing I'm not sure of is whether it's sensible to use one of these pumps to do the two funftions of the kitchen tap and the shower. Rob |
