 |
|
HI
I have just fitted a new bath and my hot water pressure has droped i had to change some of the pipe work i have lengthened the pipe work about 4 foot long in one place beacuse the new bath has the taps in the middle of the bath i have also had to re-route the pipe down under some floor borads for about 3 foot then back up beacuse they used to run across a wall witch i have knocked down have check that the system is not air locked would these chances make that much of a diiferance to the water pressure |

| Perhaps you have a bigger spout and the volume is the same, just not so much pressure. |

Where does the supplies come from, a storage tank or mains pressure.
Is the valve suitable for low pressure.
Check any filters on the valve plus any kinked hoses |
