No, I would want a pressurised system. Who ever invented open vented systems must have been drunk !
never seen anything like it in my life until I cam to this country. I will never understand why people would want to have a shower under a drip of water....a garden gnome can pee faster !

So I need a pump and a separate pressure vessel, as all the pumps seem to have a small one. Do you have a setup in mind Billi ?

No  you do not need a extra vessel cause the pump has a small one  , but i got a bigger extra vessel cheap and that just reduced the intervals of starting the pump  ( found it better for our inverter and not with each handwash  or so the pump starts  and more equalized pressure during a shower )


I guess these can work as well  and are better regulated and no vessel at all   , but run each time the tap is on , but keep the pressure nicer
