    Poor flow of hot water in bath

    The hot & cold pipes to my bath are 15mm, shouldn't they be 21mm. The hot water is feed from a hot water tank and is a dribble whilst the cold is very strong. Should I have the pipes changed to 21mm or would an electric pump on the hot water feed suffice? If fitting a pump, are they robust and...

    Pipe sizing - Replacing a one pipe system with flow and return

    Hi, Following an Anglia Water complete loss of Water Supply in Milton Keynes, I had a call from a Tenant reporting the No Water Flow Fault On the Ideal S32 Gen2.

    Do NRV's reduce flow on gravity and/or need minimum pressure to work?

    Fitted a mixer tap and the mains forces it's way back up gravity hot. But the hot pressure is already very poor due to it being a flat with a combination cylinder on the same floor level as the tap. Carefully chose one that looked fairly modern (as customer wanted) but had good flow on low...

    Arrow flow of water on valve query

    Hi everyone, I have a question about what happens when the incoming mains water valve with the arrow on it has water flowing backwards rather than forwards. For example the arrow on the water stop valve is pointing left but the water coming in is going right instead of left, would this pose as...

    Which is flow/return

    So bit of an odd one right. I have 2 pipes, to the rad a flow/return. I cut the flow/return and capped the flow. I went to fill up the system, the water start to leak out the return. Is that normal? Is the return really the flow?

    Hi. First time poster. I've just had a new bathroom fitted in my loft and am having an issue with noisy taps - modern mono mixer. Not water hammer, but when they are half on they make a noise that I find unacceptable, yet my plumber insists this is just the way it is. However, my other taps...

    New taps, poor flow rate

    Fitted these new bathroom taps yesterday. Hooked them up to 15mm pipe work which is on a gravity fed system. Upon first use it was obvious the flow rate was much worse than the old taps. Other than the taps themselfs, the only difference was that i had to fit a 15-10 mm reducer from the...

    Hot water decreases flow after 5 minutes (electrical)

    I had a new electrical water heater (Rheem) installed in our apartment - before it was inside the closet, but now we installed in the basement of the building.

    Hi I've just purchased a TAS2000SR but once connected the flow rate dial doesn't seem to change the flow at all. Its completely the same no matter which way the dial is turned. The only difference to my old AS2000XT is that I've located the new one TAS2000SR ~2m further away on the opposite...
