Hi Everyone!
The pressure running from my house to my WC toilet (50') means the water line has even further to go. The shower works but once a day it stops for a minute and then comes on again maybe 30-60 seconds on. Or generally goes weak for a bit then strong. Sometimes gurglinging then it comes through. Although no leaks or air is permitted into the system, at it was all exposed with no leaks at all, the pipe is 3/4 or 1 inch from memory, so I'm stumped. I'm certain the issue is inadequate pressure so my question is
1. what model or type of tank or pump should I get. It's only a small apt, but will have a shower. Are there in line booster pumps or should I go holding tank with built in pressure?
2. Will the new hot water tank I install help with pressure? As the current system is an ON DEMAND unit, that may be struggling?
3. Should cold line go to pressure tank or device, Then to hot water heater? Or can I just put a pressure device for cold, and the new not on demand hot water tank will eliminate some of this? Is there built in pressure with a hot water tank?
I feel pressure could be bad for both hot and cold. At the same time when bbn you open the tap. Water comes out alright! But maybe not as strong as in the house.
Links to products esp lowes or home depot appreciated. But I can order the parts.
Thanks in advance!
