I have just re-fitted the bathroom which included a new layout and consequently new pipework.
Everything is fine except for the pressure from the free standing mixer tap servicing the basin. It's something of a dribble.
With the new layout the pipes going to the tap in question take the following course. Enter bathroom as 22mm at which point T's off to 15mm. The pipe run then proceeds round 4 more elbows travelling a distance of about 4.5 metres before going through two in line isolation valves and then to the tap.
It is possible for the pipes to take a much more direct route to the tap, going through one T down to 15mm and then bend the pipe straight up to the tap after about only 1.5m. Will this make a considerable difference to the pressure or should I think about getting a pump on it?
Any help appreciated.
