I have poor mains water flow rate in my house.
I've just renewed all of the internal pipework in 22mm copper leaving only 3m of 1/2in steel pipe between the meter and the new stop tap (22mm full bore lever).
Static pressure is about 1.7 bar but the maximum flow rate I can achieve is ~7l/min. At 7l/min the pressure drops to @0.2bar. This is **** poor in my opinion.
Before I dig up the front garden to replace the final section of 1/2in steel pipe (probably to be replaced with 32mm MDPE) can I get my water supplier to test pressure and flow at the meter to eliminate problems with their sections of the supply pipe?
Cheers
