Pump under kitchen sink

[Tosh]

My brother has very low hot water pressure on his kicthen taps after having a new high pressure tap set installed when he's on low pressure gravity fed system.

Is it possible to add a water pump (just single impeller on hot only) under the sink when he already has a pump in his en-suite for the shower?

Many Thanks

Tosh

Pumps need to be as close to the water source as possible (ie next to hot cylinder) and then push the water to the relevant tap (NOT next to the tap.) You should feed the pump from a dedicated pipe off an Essex flange in the side of the cylinder. Water temperature needs rgulating to less than 65 degrees.

Why dont you fit a pump to serve the hole house..

Purely money and time.
We don't live close and I can only give him best part of Saturday afternoon by the time I get up there and he's looking for a cheap -ish solution.

ermmm...... a cheaper, easier, quicker solution would probably be to replace the taps with the correct low pressure ones!
