    They aren't suitable for most setups imo. What exactly are you looking to boost?

    Thanks.

    Hot water tap in the kitchen. Gravity system, hot water in the bathroom and utility room is ok, but very low pressure in the kitchen. The pipe run to the kitchen is long and horizontal most of the way. Thought that pump might help and looks easy to fit.

    There are taps designed for high pressure system and low pressure system. In Ireland we have low pressure as its gravity fed. Its very possible that your kitchen tap is the wrong one.


    If it's always been bad then I'd suggest wrong tap was installed or bad pipework. If you live in a standard house then you would expect better hot pressure at the kitchen sink compared to the bathroom upstairs because of the way gravity pressure works. You will have 1/4 bar of pressure, or less, upstairs and closer to 1/2 bar downstairs.

    Used to be good, nothing at the kitchen end has changed. Copper cylinder in hot press had a leak some time ago - had it replaced with a new insulated SS one. Then the bad pressure on the hot kitchen started.

    Thought there might be a bit of debris in the system, so closed off the intake to the cylinder and connected the garden hose to the start of the hot water output(there was a handy joint there). Turned on hose, full pressure at the four hot water taps(Bath, basin, utility room, kitchen sink). Reconnected everything, then little or no pressure at hot kitchen sink. Hope that all makes sense...
