Low Water Pressure

[sarab]

Hi

Just after some advice if anyone can help.

I have just had my bathroom completely renovated and am somewhat disappointed with the water pressure as I feel it has been reduced since the renovation took place (pressure still the same in the rest of the house).

I now have mixer taps on both the bath and sink (both sets of mixers are meant for low pressure systems) whereas before they were seperate hot and cold taps - does this make a difference??

At the time of renovation we also had the water tank in the loft replaced - same size, same position etc - will this have made a difference??

I know that you can buy pumps to improve pressure for showers but can I buy a pump to improve my tap pressure in the bathroom??

Is this an easy, expensive job to do?? I have got to try and win over my husband - he thinks the new pressure is fine!!

Appreciate any help offered

Laws of physics will dictate that the pressure is the same. Flow rates (which is what you really mean) can be easily measured.

If you have had continental style taps fitted then the flow rate might be affected.

If you want pumps, then you should separate out the lavatroy so that the pump doesn't turn on in the middle of the night if someone takes a dump.

As the wife you know full well that you will win over your husband. if you don't can you get him on here to tell the rest of us how he does it .
