Hi, everyone..
I have a problem with extremely low water pressure coming from my kitchen tap. It is a gravity fed system (no pump) with a hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard of a flat. Both bathroom and kitchen are on the same level.
The water in the bathroom comes out really well. So well that you can have a shower with the hot tap on alone with no problems. The kitchen tap, on the other hand comes out as barely a trickle.
I thought it may be the old tap or possibly valves in the kitchen that were impeding flow but with with everything now replaced and brand new, still no improvement.
I don't understand how two taps on the same system that are roughly the same distance from the tank should have such different pressures. There must be something that is impeding the flow to the kitchen but I'm out of ideas as to how to find it.
Can anyone give me any suggestions on how I can find this fault and get the water pressure in the kitchen to match the bathroom please?
