Hello all,
New user here, so please excuse me if this question has already been asked. Well, in my neck of woods, most folks simply raise the height of the overhead tank by about 6 ft so the gravity does the work to circulate hot water. I don't want to raise the water tank for an aesthetic reason and put it on the same level as the solar heater. Someone told me adding a pressure pump should solve the problem. The only downside is, if the pump is not operating, hot water doesn't circulate.
Here is the photo of the type of system I am talking about. House is 3 stories tall. I am hoping the 12V pressure pump would work. Or I can get the pump that works on mains (220V in my case). Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
