I thought so, it's the demand control valve. Maintains the level in your "resevoir" The resevoir and everything below it is your gravity fed system. (And the most likely cause of "weird effects". I was concerned you might have had an open heat exchange set up.. (Trickle down the roof to a trough.
To estimate the total pressure available in your system, measure the height from min/max resevoir, to the two outlets in question (vanity, and bath)
32ft = 14.7 psi or abvout 5 psi for every 10 feet of height above the exit point.Good enough. The bath is upstream to the vanity. So the effects are due to height - Not much pressure so inches count.. The vanity must be suffiently lower to allow the flow to start, On a marginal set up like this, the time it takes the flow to be established counts too. What you call "normal" would likely have others call a plumber. :)
Might provide a chuckle, but not likely. You're going to figure it out, not me.
