Why not install a circulating pump for water supply to increase pressure. special case

Today, faced with a situation where a new kvartirosomschitse was circulating pump from the previous tenants, connected to a water supply. The apartment is located on the second floor, and the water pressure was weak.

Without becoming delve into all sorts of technical details of the hostess explained why this unit is not going to help, and what will happen if the neighbors below will open the valve. To demonstrate and turned on the water He showed a working head and off the pump, the result was the same.

And in another entrance pressure was good, the overall treatment of the flats was made 3/4 inch tube and the hostess common riser consisted of half inch (1/2). In a word, it was necessary to understand, but to me this problem has not been delivered, so I dismantled the pump and set the length of the tube instead.

Output

The circulation pump is mainly used in the heating system, it is not designed to create increased pressure in the water supply systemFor this there are other pumps.

Additional Information

Later, to understand, I learned that a circulation pump pressurizationWhich is able to raise it to 0.85 atmospheres, but under certain conditions (tube diameter, the location of taps head height). As I wrote, In this situation it was useless, It is necessary to solve the problem with the water pipes.

The best solution is to install a storage tank and a full surface of the pump!
