Hi,
Recently i fitted a kitchen pull-out lever mixer tap(exactly this one), and the hot water flow has become really low...
I know that it wasn't like that before with the old tap, although my old tap mixed the water after the spout.
At the moment, the Cold is from main, and Hot is from cylinder.
Header tank is about 7~8 meters above, so i guess the hot pressure is around 0.7-0.8 bar.
I have tried fitting it with or without check valve (single), they both come out similar flow, but still it is SO much LESS than what i had before.
I dont think there are any way to adjust the flow in the lever, because the handle look like it is one piece.
so the only possible guess for me is that 2 flexible inlet to the tap, it is not as wide as what i had before.
Any help would be appreciated!
many thanks in advance.
