Hello, our water pressure is quite low here and the water board have not really done anything about it in 10+ years now. To make matters worse I have a water softener which is not very large and it is causing a pressure drop on an already low pressure system. I was thinking of installing a water pump to help with the pressure. I have been to places in Europe where tall buildings or houses on a hill use their own water pumps to help carry the water to the top floors, so that is where I got the idea from.
I know however that here in the UK there are, or must be, regulations regarding fouling the water supply with dirty water and although I do not think a water pump in my house would foul the water supply, it may "suck" dirty water from neighbours's hopuses if the mains pressure is very low, or if there is a supply interruption somewhere. Just thinking aloud here, what are your opinions?
Thanks
