Hi all,
hope you can help.
I have low c&h pressure in the bathroom basin upstairs(hot in particular) but not the bath, cystern or shower(pumped) We have a baxi boiler located in the fireplace downstairs. The hot water tank is upstairs and the cold tank is in the loft.
When I moved here a couple of years ago the water there was an old vanity unit and old taps. The pressure was low then so I thought new taps might fix the problem. I took out the vanity unit and basin an replaced with a mixer tap and basin/pedastool. This does not seem to have done anything to resolve the low pressure.
In addition the location of the taps with regard to the location hot tank is only a couple of metres. The taps are approx level with the top of the tank possibly resulting in the low pressure. This might explain the hot water but not the cold. Pressure is ok everywhere else in the house.
I know a pressured system would resolve this but we do not want to refit the bathroom and boiler for a few years yet.
TIA
Paul
