Quick question if you have the time and the nous.
We had someone in to look at our old boiler with the view to getting it replaced with a new combi.
The old one is gravity fed I believe, there's a massive copper tank in the loft which I think holds the hot water. While in the kitchen he asked what our water pressure is like, I turned on the kitchen sink and it isn't very fast but it's always been like that. The guy advised we get it checked out and find out why it's so poor, ask neighbours what their water pressure is like etc as he didn't want us to spend a fortune on a system if it isn't suitable.
After he left I remembered something, I went up to the bathroom and turned on the cold water tap on the bath, it's really powerful. I did the 6 second test were you fill a jug of water, kitchen was 5, bath was 15.
How can that be?
In fairness I didn't try the bathroom sink but I'm pretty sure it's not as slow as the kitchen tap.
Any ideas how I should proceed?
