I have the above product and am experiencing very low pressure on the normal hot-water tap side.

I have fitted at least three (different brands) of the low-cost gravity fed pumps as sold via Amazon and these work but only for a short time and then the pump stops.

I understand there are two best options available to me. The first is to fit the Qettle blender valve which mixes the cold and the hot water from the Qettle boiler. This is a simple fit. My boiler is 4 ltr and as there is only two of us this should be OK. There is also the option to fit a larger boiler if required.

The second is a "proper" mains booster pump to boost the mains hot pressure but this is more expensive and would also require the services of a plumber so again more expensive.

I wonder if anyone has any experience of using the Qettle product who could give feedback on their experiences and advise me on the best way forward.

Thanks

Many taps are designed for high pressure water and give poor flow on gravity hot water.
If you have an aerator on the tap spout, have you checked it isn't partially blocked with scale or other debris.
