Hi all

The hot water pressure in our kitchen is awful: we have to wait maybe
90 secs for the really hot water to come through from the tank
upstairs. On the other hand, it takes a few seconds only for the
water to come to the upstairs basin.

So far, so fairly bleeding obvious. (Additionally: the kitchen tap is
one of those fancy pull lever up and swing left or right for hot or
cold, on a long flexible pipe so you can hose the dishes, and with a
press-button spray system; and goodness knows (I've forgotten) what
convolutions the feed pipe goes through on its way from upstairs to
down.)

My question: what would The Panel suggest, as a means of improving
reaction time downstairs? Get rid of the fancy tap? Look at and
improve the route? or could I perhaps replace the standard 15mm pipe
with 22mm pipe?

I'll be grateful for any suggestions -- [for those who saw the
thread: I am no Jackie].

The shortest route will have already been taken by the plumber.
Either move the kitchen sink closer to the boiler or move the boiler closer
to the sink :-p forget the 22mm pipe as it holds even more cold water than
the 15mm
