Hi,
I live in an old cottage which is still fed off a spring. There's very little pressure in the system which comes in, then is pumped up to a tank in the loft and is gravity fed. A new house has been built on the end of the row so an opportunity to connect to mains water has come up.
Would doing so allow me to get rid of the pump and water tank and pressurise the system and, in theory, is as simple as bypassing the pump and water tank or will it be a much more involved job. Obviously it depends how it's configured and I'd need to get someone who knows what they're doing to do the work. The pump is on it's last legs and the spring isn't as clean and fun as it sounds plus having only half a bar pressure max after a lot of rain isn't ideal. Are there any other pitfalls or things I should be looking out for?
Thanks
