Hi all,
I have a two story house with loft.
In the loft I have a cold water tank and in the first floor airing cupboard I have a hot water cylinder.
Out of the lower side of the cold water tank there is a horizontal pipe which is of around 1969 vintage which after running horizontally across the loft then has an elbow which takes the pipe vertically down through the airing cupboard.
Under the floorboards of the airing cupboard the pipe has an elbow which takes the pipe horizontally where it splits. One of the splits then rises vertically through a reducer from the 1969 vintage pipe into 15mm pipe where it terminates in a brass fitting and then has a flexible pipe to feed a basin mixer tap, the other split then continues horizontally where it too goes through a reducer and from the 1969 vintage pipe into a 15mm pipe where it terminates on a brass fitting and then via a flexible pipe feeds the upstairs toilet.
Both the upstairs toilet and the basin mixer tap run slowly. They both run slower than the hot water from the basin mixer tap.
I would appreciate any thoughts on what might be causing this slow running of cold water only.
Many thanks
Paul
