guys!
I've had to now go down the road of fitting a Malaga.
now this is what I need to know.
1. does the supply water tank need to be above the heater? because surely it could become empty. if not, do they have to be primed every time?

2. I'm looking at a surFlo pump, and need to know how they are activated, have they got internal sensing for when a tap or shower mixer is turned on or do I need microswitched shower mixer and taps?

I'm asking on here as I can't find any info elsewhere.

as usual, I thank you all kindly in advance.

This says either microswitch taps or a pressure switch to switch the pump. You would switch it off when travelling.

https://www.propexheatsource.co.uk/heaters/malaga-water-heater

On arrival at site you will need to make sure the tank has water in it and operate the pump[ by switching a hot tap on. Let it run until a steady flow of eater is achieved. It will be gurgling then spurting etc while the air is purged through by the pump pressure.

The tank can be below the heater as the pump maintains the pressure.
