Moving bathroom above tank?

[Connor T]

Hi,

I have a situation where we wish to move a downstairs bathroom upstairs. Not unusual, except the cold water tank is downstairs in the garage, and there is no attic space.

So presumably we'd have to pump both hot and cold water upstaris.

Is this feasible? What alternatives are there? What is a system like that called and where can i read about it?

Thanks! Dan

=================== The best alternative would be to change to a system which requires no storage tanks - i.e. supplied directly from the main. There are several possible variations described here quite frequently. Most require adequate mains pressure to work but that shouldn't be a problem in most areas. By way of example, my system consists of a 'multipoint water heater' fed directly from the main and a completely separate CH system. This works for me because I like the security of knowing that both systems are unlikely to break down at the same time.

Others will no doubt give details of more sophisticated systems requiring no storage.
