Hello all,
We've recently fitted an ensuite in a room that was an existing bathroom, to now make a bedroom and make the most of the sea view.
But now we want to make use of a room on the 3rd floor by turning it into a bathroom, just with a bath and sink. Now the question is where to draw the hot water from. The ensuite is at the back of the house on the 2nd floor, where the storage tank and boiler are and this new bathroom is on the 3rd floor at the front. Now it has been suggested that we draw the water off at 3rd floor level from the hot water vent pipe. However the water tank is theoretically on the same floor albeit raised at ceiling height and in the eaves where the vent pipe runs to meaning it would only be 1.5m above the suggested draw off point. Am I correct in thinking that this would reduce the vent pipes intended purpose as the draw off is so close to the venting point.
