Default increasing hot water pressure to kitchen taps

ok thanks for that, so it's the same size and shape as CH pump, I'll
have to see if I can actually find space to fit one.

I was hoping there would be a smaller sized solution more the size of a
washing machine pump.

Basic physics is your foe here Ian, a washing machine pump really
doesn't develop much head, and it would probably end in tears if
you gave one such a task.

Compared with the expensive engineering from Monsoon, which purrs
quietly in my garage to supply bath and shower, this Grundfos is
tiny and cheap.

Does your tap have a pull-out spray, or simply a spray nozzle? I
guess even if you can find a new tap, it could easily cost more
than the suggested pump.

Chris

it is a new tap, that seems to be the problem....

it's a franke pull out spray jobby....

we only really need a bit of a boost in hot pressure to this one tap,
the other mixers in the house seem fine so I wonder if looking at the
inner workings might be a possible way to go.

tap experts anyone?

(Definition of an expert:-)

an unknown quantity under a lot of pressure!)
