Works perfect so far...even in the kitchen taps are running fast and wenye jikoni are happy! Doesn't the 'external' tank ruin the aesthetics of the design? My tank is in the roof and cannot be raised further. Actually a plumber came once and raised it by 0.5M, it didn't make much difference. I beleive that if i used a cylindrical tank things would be a little bit better. @a4architect.com thank you i received the contacts of your professional plumber for advice. The only time you should be looking down on others is when you are helping them up.

Rectangular plastic tanks are much shorter than cylindrical ones for same capacity; hence they have much lower head - a disadvantage.
