• 0.5m

• 1m

• 1.5m

• 2m

What is the function of a thermostatic valve in a cistern-fed/gravity mixer?

• It filters impurities from water.

• It controls the water flow rate.

• It maintains the required temperature by expanding and contracting.

• It adds minerals to the water.

What is the purpose of a twin impellor booster pump in a plumbing system?

• To decrease water pressure
