 |
|
Hi guys,
I've got a peculiar problem. My cold water tank and hot water tank are both in the loft. I've always had great water pressure.
Now, all of a sudden, my hot water pressure has dropped significantly. I can't see any leaks anywhere. Its not a neighborhood pressure thing as that would have affected the cold water too surely (which is physically higher up than the hot water).
What could this be?
Many thanks!

Oh! Thanks for that. Can I release the airlock myself, or do I need a plumber to do that?
I've got a diy handbook, I suppose I could try it myself!
Thanks again,

It is farily simple to do - try using the search feature of the forum to find plenty of advice - most usual one is to cup hands over the mixture spout in the kitchen and force mains water back up the hot pipe.

It's not an airlock...
Any other ideas?
It might be time to call a plumber... ! |
