Hi Folks, I moved home last year and changed kitchen and bathrooms myself and British Gas did the boiler change (standard condensing as I wanted to keep airing cupboard).
I have a problem of hot water flow stalling and spluttering from the mixer tap in the kitchen (air in system?). No problem in bathroom or ensuite.
I have very low pressure in the hot system because I live in a bungalow. The cold pressure is very strong and I have connected both to back flush and this only solves the problem for a short period of time.
I have checked the cold water storage tank in the loft and the valve is working fine so I do not think this causes any airlock. However, the overflow is in action on a regular basis.
I have reduced the temperature on the thermostat (on hot water cylinder) but this has made no difference.
My problem may be related to the mixer tap at the sink (Leisure AQUADISC 2) this is the quater turn type and may not be working well with the low hot water pressure.
Will changing the tap help cure the problems?
Any reccomendation on what would be a good quality replacement?
Any advice is most welcome.
Thanks TBolt
