Did you know that your bathroom hot water system can influence bathroom fixtures?

It's helpful to know what kind of hot water system you have because it can influence the bathroom fixtures you choose. Plumbers in Indio CA can help you find out. However, you yourself can also figure it out.

 

You have a low pressure gravity-fed system if your cold water comes from a storage tank in the loft and your hot water comes from a cylinder (typically in an airing cupboard). It's the most popular method of obtaining water in the home. The system is kept under pressure by gravity-fed water from the cistern, therefore the higher the cistern is above a shower, the more pressure is created.

 

 

A cylinder is supplied with cold water from the rising main in an unvented hot water system. The cylinder is made to handle mains pressure water and is heated with an immersion heater or a heating coil. A cold water tank in the attic isn't necessary if the cold taps are fed from the rising main. The water should have a high flow rate and pressure.

 

Alternatively, you might have a system where a combination boiler creates hot water instantly and there is no need for a cistern in the loft or a hot water cylinder for storage. Because the system is mains fed, the water pressure is high.

 

It's critical to choose bathroom fittings like tap mixers and showers that are compatible with your bathroom plumbing system. For certain people, gravity-fed devices may not offer enough pressure.

 

The sort of shower that can be installed in your home is determined by the hot water system.

 

Do you have a combi boiler? In your new bathroom, you can choose between mixer showers and electric showers. However, a pump cannot be connected to a combi boiler to increase the flow rate of a mixing shower. When the cold water supply comes directly from the mains, a pump is also off.
