    Pressure tank running when no water is used

    I'm on a well with a pressure tank. Should the tank run if no water is being used? My tank cycles even when no one is using water for showers, toilets, etc.

    Running copper pipework above / across a Gas boiler?

    Hi all, this is probably a daft question but I need to run my cold feed from one side of my wall mounted boiler to the other.
