[quote][i]Originally posted by mattk[/i] Time for a quick paint drawing [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/5623/tank_cylinder.jpg[/img] The Big Tank will have 2 pipes comming out of it, one will go into the bottom of the cylinder and one will go to the cold outlets in your bathroom the cold water from the tank fills the cylinder up where it is heated by either a coil connected to a boiler or a immersion heater (or both) because hot and cold are both fed from the same tank they both have the same pressure, the mixer valve needs equal pressures, you cant pump one side because then it wont mix. it wont work now because the tank isnt high enough, note the pipe that comes off the top of the cylinder and goes over the top into the tank... this is the vent, water finds its own level, that pipe only fills up to where ever the water level is in the tank, its the same with your shower, if the tank isnt high enough, it doesnt have enough pressure to force the water as high as the shower head, in tank fed systems the key factor in water pressure is how high the tank is Im shit at explaining things in writing [/quote]
