        Is there an easy way to increase cold water pressure from 0.2 bar to about 2 bar??

        Can one obtain a small mechanical device to do this???

          The GPMS @ application for would be needed for an educated answer.

              GPM= GALLONS/MINUTE. You would need to know the application that you are going to use this for.

                Going need about 2bar to operate a toilet flushing mechanism which uses the coanda effect to initiate the syphon action to ‘start the flush’. However I do not know the GPM required by this device…

                Still, can you help??

                    With only .2bar {2.9lbs) pressure @ not knowing inlet gallons available all that I can do is suggest an inline pump to boost pressure, but keep in mind that if you do not have the gallons available it will not work. The thing you have to keep in mind that the pump will increase pressure to overcome friction loss, if the volume is not available to the pump it will not work.
