    Low mains water pressure

    I fitted the tap myself. I would like to say it was easy but obviously there is a problem somewhere :oops: As I said the water comes out fast from the cold only feed and is fine through the shower if held low. I think it would be best to make a video so you can see it properly and be sure...

    Low mains water pressure

    Sorry for the confusion. I replaced an old electric shower with new bath taps with a shower mixer outlet. This is the tap http://www.bathroomheaven.com/emeline-bathroom-taps/emeline-bath-shower-mixer-tap-exc-shower-kit-10346.aspx It says it is suitable for low and high pressure systems, is...

    Low mains water pressure

    I agree and that makes perfect sense, however if I hold the shower head at the tap height it is fine. As I move it upwards the flow weakens. Could this just be a faulty mixer tap, the tap is only a month or two old? The basin and bath taps are coming from the same hot and cold pipes. I...

    Low mains water pressure

    I tried to stop the basin and bath taps with my finger to no avail, it was gushing everywhere. I presume this means there is plenty of pressure at tap height but not 1.5m above? I will try to get on the roof next weekend when I can get a ladder to see if there are any storage tanks. Any...

    Low mains water pressure

    It seems to run plenty fast enough out of both the kichen, basin and bath taps. The flow rate is fine I think, 12l/min cold, 8l/min hot out of the bath taps, which to me sounds like there is plenty of water but not enough pressure to lift it up a couple of metres. I've not tried to stop it with...

    Low mains water pressure

    Sorry but you've lost me. I thought the cold feed to the kitchen and bathroom was already a mains feed? Are you saying that the cold feed comes from the combi-boiler usually? Is there an easy way to determine if mine is from the mains or via the combi? Does a combi slow down/reduce a cold feeds...

    Low mains water pressure

    I've got a problem with my bathroom shower in that the flow rate is not high enough. The shower is a head connected via a hose from the bath mixer taps. With the shower head below the bath taps it is fine but when you raise it 1.8m onto the rail the flow drops considerably. If you use just...

    New bath mixer tap shower - terrible flow rate - help

    Hi, I've just replaced my bath taps with a mixer unit with separate hot and cold levers. The taps also have a shower outlet so I got rid of the previous electric shower that drove me mad at the same time, but unfortunately the flow rate from the new shower head is terrible. The heating is...
