Aladdin isolator - bit heavy.

[rpm]

so bung the tank

Have thought of this but having never done it I`m a bit reluctant.

Ahh I get it now
So this cold tank definitely feeds the toilet?
As above ^^ bung the tank, if there's no way to turn off the mains, what if the alladin doesn't seal or it's 1/2 inch pipe.
I'd definitely want some form of back up isolation if I was cutting in to a pipe.

Also I`m fearful of an airlock in a house this size.

But thanks for all the advice.

No idea but think I see where your coming from.

Tie up the ballvalve? Piece of pipe accross the tank and tie the ballvalve up to it.

Just bung the cold feed pipe, you dont need a vacuum like bunging the heating system, will work fine and no airlocks
