Getting confused about calculating water pressure.
A new tap (the wife wants) needs 0.5 bar pressure minimum.
The cold tap is mains fed. Thames Water. Presume it's fine.
The hot is gravity fed. Do I measure height from tap to bottom of the hot water tank? Or to the cold tank in the loft (as the guidance I have read elsewhere).
If the former it is unlikely be more than 0.2 bar (standard 1930s house with hot water tank on first floor, and kitchen on ground floor).
is fitting a pump on the hot water alone what is needed. Or is it more complicated?
any guidance gratefully accepted
