| If I remember the episode of this old house when they went to England,
they do this because there isn't adequate water pressure without the
tank.

| So how do they get the water up to the tank? If the tank is 16ft or more
above ground in the attic, the water pressure must be sufficient to fill
the tank, so it also must be sufficient to fulfill the household needs
-- unless the tank refills only when demand drops.

It is, but the flow from the small main pipe is limited in the house.
Why supply 10-20 gpm from the main pipe if an average house only uses
400 gallons per day, ie 0.28 gpm?
