Wife and motherinlaw bought a Franke sink and Monoblock Mixer for me to fit in the mother inlaws kitchen ground floor flat. So new worktops, units redistributed and new hob and sink in.
All was going great until I finished the lot. Cold water is from mains at a bout 2 bar happy days it has lots of pressure.
New the problem, the mixer tap needs 0.5 bar, did not notice that and the h ot water tank is beside the kitchen with the storage tank 10mm above the ho t water cylinder so the pressure must be about 0.05 bar. The hoses to the m onoblock have little non return valve.
There is just a drip coming out the mixer when the hot is turned on. In the bathrom which has old fashioned taps the hot water would fill a glass in s ay 15 seconds so litte pressure.
She has an elctric shower so does not need hot water for that.
Options for the mixer tap comments please.
Put a 3kw instant heater in the cupbord below the sink fed by the cold tap feed that is 15mm. I assume again very little flow as it is being heated.
Put in a booster pump to feed the hot water tank say 1.5 bar but they tend to need 0.6 ltrs/min flow from the tap to start up and the flow from the mi xer is nowhere near that.
A solution from the panel.
Comments please.
