Hi,
I have submitted this question on another forum but so far I haven't been able to resolve this problem.
I have an ongoing problem with the water flow from my mixer taps and shower. Only the flow rate from the mains-supplied kitchen cold tap is acceptable. Over the last 2 - 3 months the output from the other mixer taps has gradually decreased and it seemed likely that my booster pump had developed a fault. When the taps are turned on there was a reasonable - not great - output for about a minute and then it decreased rapidly. Turning on 2 taps leaves barely an output from either. Flushing the loo also cuts out the flow from a running tap. However, this morning, I noticed the mixer tap in the bathroom has no output at all if hot is fully turned on.
A new variable speed pump was installed last week but this hasn't improved things. Another plumber spent all afternoon yesterday trying to remedy the problem without success, which was as frustrating for him as it is for me. He thinks there is a massive air-block but can't see how to resolve it. He is going to ask around to see if any of his fellow plumbers have had similar experiences.
I now think it possible that there was nothing wrong with the old pump but can't be sure.
If anyone can advise on this it would be great to hear from you.
Many thanks and regards,
Nick
