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 just installed a Grundfos 15/90 Home
Booster pump on system that sounds
remarkably like yours. The difference
is immesurable to be honest - and was
doddle to fit under the kitchen sink. Its almost
silent and turns on only when required.
I looked for ages on ebay and finally picked
up a brand new one for £20 - I think the retail price is
c £100.

I can't believe this. Another one!!! One pump on one tap. You get your
Association application form soon.

But it will save hours and hours of fitting a new run.

All he has to do is fit the right taps, circa £50.

I'm sure this is not the most
professional way to do it

You bet your boots it is not.
