Poor hot water pressure. Cant figure it out.

you mean 1/4 turn and not always as some 1/4 turn ceramic disc taps work on gravity.

as for bleeding we've been through that.

is the kitchen sink a lever tap ( 1/2 a turn from off to full on ) if so its a ceramic disc tap, and you will experiance poor flow rates due to the poor head of water you have in the bungalow. ???

Yes its a lever tap. 1/4 turn right for hot. 1/4 turn left for cold

From what I can see it goes up into the roof then it splits off. One pipe goes down into the bathroom taps and along into the kitchen mixer tap. The other pipe that splits off heads towards the water tank but cant see if its connected to it or goes elsewhere. Need to get right in the roof with a torch.

Im afraid this Is why I am posting on here. I know sod all about plumbing or pipework.

Whats your solution??

 

[g20]

have you got solid floors, that why the hot water pipe is going back into the loft?

It must have been like this since it was first fitted?

 

[seco services]

have you lost hot water at the moment or is it ok?

 

[houstonwehaveaproblem]

the floors are standard timber joists and plasterboard ceilings

No the hot water has gone again. Just trickling out!!
