Hi,
I have a vented gravity fed water system used to run the central heating and hot water in a two storey house. In the winter, when the central heating is run for an hour or so in the morning and a few hours at night, my shower hot water pressure is good. In the summer however, when I don't run the central heating at all, the shower water pressure drops to just a trickle.
The boiler still runs to keep hot water hot, and the hot water tank is hot and has water too, so is there a reason why not running the central heating would result in a loss of pressure? This is a recurring problem every year which clears up once the use of the central heating is resumed.
Any advice on the cause and how to fix it would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Richard
