Water Pressure

[Bobby0786ncl]

Hiya all,

My utility room sink and washing machine pressure is really low it just dribbles out,

Utility room sink is on the same wall as kitchen sink and stop cap, and washing machine is othe the other side of the wall of the utility room so I’m assuming the pipes are coming from the kitchen,

The pipes are plastic push fit

Everywhere else in the house the pressure is perfect just can’t figure out why the until room sink and washing machine are low

The pipes are behind the wall

Any advice would be appreciated.

Bobby

I would guess you have an isolator that isn't open properly somewhere. Has there been plumbing work done recently. Has it always been a problem

the little sink has alway been like that and just changed washing machine and I think the newer machine are less forgiving with water pressure, would the valve be behind the wall

The washing machine connections are ok, airatera clean, it’s a wall hung sink with copper connection then connected to plastic pipes, no isolation valve, and the pipe seem to run upstairs behind plasterboard, I thought it would run kitchen sink which is closer,

May have been mentioned above but some washing machines have a filter at both ends of the filling hose.

Not unlikely that washing machine valve handle has turned but not the spindle below it.
