Discuss Changing from spring water to mains in the USA area at PlumbersForums.net

I live in an old cottage which is fed off a spring. A new house has been built at the end of the row so an opportunity to connect to the mains has come up. The current set up is the feed comes in, goes through a filter, into a pump to a tank in the loft then is gravity fed. The pressure is very low. If I had a decent pressure mains feed coming in. Is it as simple as bypassing/removing the pump and tank (pump is on its last legs). I have a combi boiler installed but the hot water still runs of an immersion as the pressure/flow is too low for the hot. Ideally I'd like both without the immersion. I'm sure there's a lot of missing details here but is it worth getting connected up or are there any other pitfalls or considerations to take into account.

Thanks
 
Depends on the pressure the water board can supply
