Hello,
I have installed a new water system in my cottage and I don't seem to have enough water pressure to fill my hot water tank.
I'm using a submersible pump to fill a pressure tank under the cottage (150 feet from the lake with a 60 feet vertical drop). The pump and the Pressure switch seem to be working, when the pressure in the tank is below 30 PSI the pump starts and stoping at 50 PSI (it takes just 2 or 3 seconds) Water comes with a lot of pressure imidiately after the tank (garden hose) but in the kitchen sink (6 feet above) pressure is much lower.
My 28 gallon hot water tank is in the loft (14 feet above the pressure tank) and it starts filling up but after a wile it stops and i can't get any water comming out of the hot water pipes.
Do I need to increase the pressure of the swich? is my hot water tank to big or to high up?
Thanks for the help!
