Hello,
I bought a cheap tap last year to put in my kitchen (I know buy cheap buy twice). The tap started leaking and despite putting on ptfe tape and washers it is still spraying out water when the cold tap is running too fast.
My system is a gravity fed system but the kitchen tap is mains pressured for the cold supply.
The kitchen tap I bought was suitable for a low pressure system. I’m wondering if the mains supply is too much for the tap and that’s why it is leaking. Can you use a low pressure tap on a cold mains supply without turning the pressure down?
otherwise can anyone recommend a good tap that is suitable for a gravity fed hot water supply and a mains pressure cold tap?
thank you,
Richard
