Low hot water pressure

jwilliams · 19 Sep 2006

My friend's flat has a hot water cylinder at floor level in an airing cupboard next to the bathroom. The water is heated by an immersion heater.

Hot water pressure is adequate in the bathroom, but by the time the water reaches the kitchen the pressure is too low to be useful.

What could be done to increase the pressure? Ask if you need any more details

TIA

Kitchen on a lower floor?
Check the tap isn't blocked with rust/scale. Or it might be one designed for higher pressure than you have.

It's a flat, kitchen's on the same floor.

It's a new tap, so I'll check what pressure it's designed for. Thanks.
