Installation: FAQs

Do drinking water taps have to be supplied direct from mains?

It is recommended where possible drinking water taps be connected directly to the incoming mains water supply. Where this is not feasible, they can be fed from a storage cistern or pumped, but wholesomeness must be maintained, meaning the water fittings used must not adversely affect water quality.
