Hi,
I have a gravity based hot water system, and recently had a new kitchen installed. We never had a noticeable hot water pressure issue before, but the flow from the new tap is down to a trickle.
Pressure head is c.3m. Flow is 2L/min compared to 12L/min minute out of the hot water tap upstairs. The new tap has a minimum pressure of 0.5bar, so presume it just the wrong tap.
Plenty of taps on Screwfix suitable for gravity based system with min pressure 0.1bar, but a read of the reviews for most of them suggest you still only get a trickle for a gravity based system.
Looking for someone who has experience of this issue to recommend a tap that will maximise the flow? Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Niall
