Hi everyone!
I have a question that I'm sure can easily be answered by many of you. Here's the necessary background:
We have recently fitted a new kitchen, including a new kitchen tap/mixer (which has fairly narrow feed tails). The pressure in the property was not good (because of a very low header tank), so a shower pump was fitted. Because of the pump, the flow of hot water out of the kitchen tap/mixer is just fine. However, the cold flow (which is sourced directly from the mains) is very poor.
Now the question:
How can I improve the pressure/flow from the cold mains?
These are solutions I'd like to avoid:
(1) Replacing the existing 15mm feeds with 22mm pipes.
(2) Replacing the tap/mixer with another with wider feed tails.
This is a potential solution I'd love to have some advice on:
(1) Installing a accumulation/expansion/pressure tank directly beneath the kitchen sink. Could this work to increase pressure at all?
Anyway, I'd be very grateful for any thoughts you might have.
Huge thanks,
Cam
