    Electric shower from cold water tank

    Could anybody advise me whether an electric shower can be installed from the rising cold water main that feeds a cold water storage tank. Or if it can be installed from the tank on a shower pump. Or if you'd avoid fitting an electric shower on a cold water storage tank water system. Many thanks.

    What causes noisy hot water tank filling up?

    Just started recently - sound like a 'whirr' when hot water tank fills up after hot taps used for a few minutes or after a shower. I don't think anything to do with Potterton boiler as the noise happens when the boiler isn't on - for either water or heating. The noise seems to be from the cold...
