Hi all,
Over the past couple of weeks I've been having my bathroom totally renovated. Today or tomorrow is the last day the plumber/DIY man will be here, he'll have finished by then.
Mostly I'm pleased, but the flow rate of the water coming out of the bath and basin taps is, frankly, pathetic. It can take half an hour to fill up the bath; it's the worst hot flow rate I've ever seen.
Also, I switched from my old small electric shower to a mixer shower during the renovation, specifically because I was told that was my best chance of getting a powerful shower with a combi-boiler setup (I like powerful showers!) The pressure is just about OK, though barely any better than the small electric shower before. My mains pressure is OK, certainly high enough that it ought to give me a more powerful shower... any ideas why it might be so weak? I'm having trouble getting answers out of the plumber, all he seems to say is 'you won't get the same hot water pressure as cold'. No, but surely you can increase the hot water pressure with a more powerful boiler! Or, maybe there is something wrong with my boiler that's weakening the hot water pressure? It's a Ferolli boiler. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
