This depends on how far down the water will travel, how much is in the tank, and on your intended use. Most household running water is put under somewhere between 40 and 70 PSI. It would be difficult for you to get this much pressure from gravity alone, but the water will flow as long as the source is above the drain point. You would be able to wash your hands and probably flush a toilet, as long as it has a tank. You probably will not have enough pressure to use a dish washer or clothes washer. If you really want to know how much pressure you will have, you can always do the math.

What is the meaning of megaflow?

A mega-flow system is simply hot water stored under a certain pressure. The idea is to give one the same pressure throughout the house. This is a good choice of a boiler if one has high hot water demand.


Can parakeets can live inside the house?

Yes, just give them a large enough cage, make sure they have toys, untreated wood, and plenty of food and water.


What are the mechanisms of closing over the prey for Venus Flytraps?

The Venus Flytrap uses a type of movement called a nastic movement wish is caused by a sudden stiffening in turgor pressure. Turgor pressure is pressure built up by water. That is why when a plant does not have enough water, it wilts from lack of this turgor pressure. I give credit to this knowledge to: Seventh Grade Science Class ;)


Will adding another water heater boost the water pressure in the house in addition to giving more hot water?

No and yes. No, you won't get more water pressure. To do that you'll need to find out why the water pressure is low. Perhaps flow restriction, perhaps a poorly adjusted water pressure regulator, perhaps low pressure from the well/city water. But an additional water heater will certainly give you more hot water. It would be like putting in a LARGER water heater. In most cities the water pressure required is about 20 PSI. Small city's do not add pressure pumps to their system but use a gravity supply. That is why most places there is a pressure problem either build their water tanks taller or erect them on a hill.


What is the optimum water pressure for home use?

The optimum water pressure for most homes is typically in the range of 40-60 pounds per square inch (psi). This range provides enough pressure for efficient water flow throughout the house without causing damage to pipes, fixtures, or appliances. It's important to note that local building codes and regulations may specify a specific range, so it's recommended to consult with a professional plumber or check with your local water department for the recommended water pressure in your area.


Is it possible for a whale at the Chicago shedaqariam to slam throo the glass?

No, The glass is too thick, Not even a bullet can pierce it, plus the pressure of water wouldn't give the whale enough force.


What are side effects of blood pressure medicine?

One of the side effects of high bp medicines is that they can make you dizzy. They can also give you a dry cough if you don't drink enough water.


Adjusting the Home Water Pressure?

For many homeowners, the water pressure at the house is not sufficient to properly do household chores such as watering the plants. It is quite simple to check and adjust the water pressure. A pressure gauge can be purchased at a home improvement store. This simply screws onto an outside spigot and will give the homeowner a reading as to the pounds per square inch of water pressure. If this needs to be adjusted, there is a simple screw setting at the location of the main water line. Care should be taken when adjusting the pressure as too high of a setting can damage the plumbing.


Will extending line 1 ft above sink increase water pressure?

No, it will decrease the pressure. The higher you push the water the more pressure it takes to get it there, therefore less pressure at the tip. Putting in a larger supply line, will not only give you more water but less friction loss in the line and more pressure at the tip. A booster pump will also give more pressure.


Why water pressure is low at high buildings?

The greater the height to which water is being lifted, the greater the weight of the column of water that you are lifting (for a given cross-sectional area), and the greater the gravitational force which acts against the water pressure that drives the water upward. This is true regardless of the diameter of the pipe, because larger pipes give you more water pressure but also give you more water, and more weight, counteracting the pressure.


Do house flies need water?

yes they do if you don't give them :)


Can you give me specific examples of peer pressure in the Harry Potter novels. Either positive or negative?

I think one clear example of peer pressure is the pressure to get points for the house a student belongs to. This should pressumably give them some motivation to behave. There is indeed pressure from the other members of a house, since a student will be shunned by other students of his house if he loses them a lot of points, as happened in Harry Potter 1.
