Ok , so your pumping from a lower supply tank l take it , l'd love to get pressure like that from gravity feed.......unfortunately our neighbour own the hill and it's still not steep enough anyway
We run a constant pressure pump ( grunfos...been a great unit )and l'm just about to add a 100 L pressure tank to help stop short cycling and also give us a little water to use when the power goes out
We're getting a 5kw PV system installed next week , pity there was'nt a way to use when the grid goes down , anyway if the pressure tank works out ok , l might add another for some more capacity ( still much rather your water setup though )

Hi, I have got the stove running with 2 water radiators operating well with thermo syphoning (no pump).
I have just completed the hot water supply pipes to kitchen and bathroom but with supply turned on I have no hot water, other than from a post manuacture midmount hot water outlet to supply shower?? . I have a Wilson 250L ceiling low pressure tank and was under the impression the cold supply was circulated via a coil immersed in the hot water from the boiler/stove? But after running a hose down the cold intake pipe, instead of flowing out the "coil outlet" it overflowed back into the header tank, the same place the hot water from the boiler vents??
Does anyone have a schematic of this tank or advice please?
