Moving hot water cylinder to loft?

[lloyd302]

Hi all,
I'm moving a hot water cylinder to the loft,
the cold water storage will still be above the cylinder will this loose any pressure?
Or is this fine?
All draw off points remain the same
Thanks

You lose 1/2 psi per 1 foot in elevation increase. But then you gain that much pressure when the water goes back down. You souls be fine.

If you are lifting your hot water cylinder you will naturally lose atmospheric pressure. Low pressure systems rely on head to achieve the desired pressure at lower levels. Another way to maintain your pressure is to use vacuum relief valve and do away with the cold water header tank all together. Hope this helps!
