can i put a single impeller....

[moogwai]

pump on the hot water supply to boost the hot water supply to the whole house. My mate is looking to improove his hot water pressure in his house which is rubbish.

Could i fit a pump via an essex flange and connect to the existing hot water supply whilst blanking off the existing pipwork by the cylinder (whilst keeping the vent in place) so it dont just fly up the vent pipe???

He just wants the cheapest solution possible as his house is rented so replacing cylinder, boiler etc is out of the question.

yes you can but it needs to be a big one to do the whole house a little put put shower pump wont cope

what sort of bar are we talkin mate??? 2 or 3?? more?

also its only a 2 bed house with kitchen sink, basin and bath/shower mixer running off the hot water.

i would look at 3 bar

Also worth checking the performance curve to as pressure will fall off under take off rates.

A good whole house (Rated for constant running) would cost around £500.00 if not is house why spend this sort of cash ? have a word with landlord first.

Thanks lads....he's decided to put up with the rubbish pressure once i told him the cost of the pumps.....and he has one of those landlords that dont wanna spend any money!!!
