Dead simple plumbing/hot water question
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]. John |
