[QUOTE="MGS6930, post: 7933593, member: 33384"] The larger pipe will make a difference but maybe not enough to serve showers and taps with a high peak demand. With it being potable water there are the WRAS regulations to adhere to, as either way between a booster tank set or a header tank you will need to store water for a period of time. A header tank potable water approved at the highest point will be the cheapest way and as [USER=90394]@ShooTa[/USER] says calculate the storage required and how long it will take to refill. even filling a 25l drum and timing it gives you a start. However that tank would need to be placed at height to create pressure for outflow so would again slow the filling rate which may make it unviable Booster tank set wise something similar to the below, a concrete base, electrical supply and a protective shelter would be all that's needed.
