Hi All.
I have trouble with the hot water pressure in our house. I have read through the posts on the forums and used it to trouble shoot first. I have:
- Checked bled the valve attached to the tank - OK
- Checked the header tank in the loft is 3/4 full and functioning - OK
- Run all the hot taps/cold taps to try and release any air blocks like that.
The basic setup is:
First floor bathroom with hw tank in airing cupboard outside the bathroom. The main water tank is in the loft almost directly above (about 2.75m). There is two pipes going in the bottom of the hw tank (feeds I assume) and a hot one exiting the top.
Here is my question:
This hot pipe branches off in two directions. One going to the bathroom and then eventually down to the kitchen and the other branch goes back into the loft and exits above the main water tank up there.
Is this correct? It seems that it shouldn't be running out into open air (not a sealed unit so no pressure).
Any thoughts?
Thanks a lot.
