Help please with designing incoming mains size.

Thanks for that 'Cardiff plumber' from your experience, what height do the cwsc have to be above the pumps?

They dont, they can be on the same level, just use double check valve.

You would never satisfy 8 bathrooms at the same time with just the main, will always need a booster arrangement and remember the main may only be 32mm but aslong as the flow rate is enough to satisfy the break tank your ok. Also remember your not meant to be pulling more than 12l min direct from the main from the water boards point of view so sometimes when you fill out the water connection form you have to play with the figures a little.

Thanks for that, i think the custard is going to have to bite the bullet and purchase a booster pump set then....on top of a new incoming main too. Ive just been looking at your pictures link. Thats some nice pipe work there my friend....well done!!!:hurray:
Is it okay if i message you for more advice if i need it? its the first time ive done a dwelling this size. The heating/ hot water i'm okay with, its the cold side i'm not so familiar with.

cheers
