nige is right, fancy pants ceramic dish taps designed for high pressure direct system, installed on a low pressure gravity system will never work __________________ If at first you don't succeed, remove all evidence you ever tried. |

or
you may have low pressure taps
is your taps water flow like a garden tap or spray type ?
if it is spray type, it may have restrictor at water out point
just undo nut at water outlet points, remove restrictor and refit the nut
this might solve your problem |
