No.Yeah I do have a pump, but it doesn't work as well - I need to revise the whole setup. My setup is as follows. Have a large cistern, pump and pressure tank sit atop, from there pipe goes out to tinaco on top of the house and then from tinaco comes out the pipe that distributes water to the rest of the house. I'm not a plumber, but it seems that with the tinaco in the middle of the setup the pressure is going to be lost. The plumber assured me that's the way it's supposed to be, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Is this how you guys have it if you have a Tinaco?
My pump feeds both the tinaco and the pressure cannister from a cistern fed by a neighbors well (she pumps water into it for RD$150 a month.) If the tinaco is not full (it has a toilet-type float shut-off mechanism) the pump fills it. If it's full, the pump shuts off when the pressure cannister is pressurized to the set psi.
When we have no electricity (the inverter doesn't work because the pump is 220) all we have is gravity flow water. The first flow is much higher pressure because of the cannister. Then it slows to gravity pressure, much lower.
BTW-we do have a pump switch in the house. The only time we turn the pump on is for showers and to fill the tinaco.
Few tinacos, unless installed really high (increases head pressure), will have good pressure at the tap/shower.
IMO, pressure is your problem.
