Re: Will using water tank causing issue to your pipe?? 8Sep 12, 2012 10:20 am surat If I buy existing house, can i still install this pex pipe? not sure what you mean by separate cistern valve, are you saying I need to install two pipes connecting to the toilet? How do I know if existing house using pex pipe? any hint? by the way what is that HWS? You can have PEX fitted if a plumber needs to replace some pipe but not viable otherwise as the pipe will be inside the walls. There are also regulations applicable as to where it can and cannot be fitted. Having two cistern valves allows you to have one connected to mains water with no need to change any pipe work and have the other fitted direct to the pump with PEX. The PEX is barely noticeable.The Fluidmasters have an air gap at the top that prevents cross contamination but you still have only one stopcock open at a time. Have a look at the page 10 diagram in this link. http://www.aila.org.au/canberragarden/w ... Rtanks.pdf You can also plan your system so that the cistern is gravity fed for much of the year. This will eliminate frequent pump start ups. You would need to also buy (about $2) and fit the very low pressure gravity fed (red) seal 242LP071 to the cistern valve if you used gravity feed. You can see it on the Fluidmaster doc l previously linked. Newer houses are much more likely to have PEX fitted than older houses. If using rainwater through copper pipe is an issue, you can lower the acidity by putting crushed limestone chips in a nylon bag into the tank. Sediment can also increase acidity but a well set up system will not have much sediment. Most have a lot of sediment! Hot Water Service. 3in1 Supadiverta.
