Adjust pressure on mixer tap

[Caroline]

Hi

I had new a new mixer tap installed a few months ago and at the time of install thought the pressure was too strong. So my plumber made adjustment it to reduce it (or the flow rate?!).

I've since decided i would like this increased. Would you be able to explain how i am able to do this as i have no idea?! I've included pictures of the tap and connections.

Many thnks in advance.

On your 1st picture of the pipes are 2 screwdriver isolating valves that are not fully open. I suspect your plumber has deliberately left them like this to reduce the flow rate. If you turn the slot that the screwdriver goes into so that it is straight up & down 12 to 6 o clock position it will increase your flow rate to the tap. At present it is more like in a 2 to 8 o clock position. Hope you understand this.

Thank you! That made perfect sense and i've now managed to adjust them.

Much appreciated
