Just had a a Greenstar 24i junior combi-boiler system replacing a conventional boiler system.
House has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, with a kitchen sink (hot & cold tap), bathroom sink (hot & cold tap) and bath (hot & cold tap).
Heating is fine, however hot water pressure is poor. If downstairs hot tap is on bathroom sink hot tap and bath hot tap has no flow whatsoever.
Worcester have been out twice and confirmed the boiler is functioning normally and the hot water flow out of the boiler is correct.
The plumber who installed the boiler has removed the flow restrictor and this improved the flow considerably to what you would expect, he then put the restrictor back in and called Worcester out to check there was no fault with the restrictor. Worcester attended site with the plumber who installed in attendance and confirmed the boiler was working, when the plumber suggested removing the flow restrictor the worcester maintenance engineer would not entertain it as the boiler was functioning correctly.
The water pressure into the house is fine. Any ideas on what the problem?
Would the warranty of the boiler be affected it the flow restrictor was removed?
Why should you need to remove this part for the boiler to function?
