My m8 just had new taps fitted to his kitchen sink during a new kitchen
installation in his flat. Everything
went well. But he's came across a problem. His hot water tank is in an
airing cupboard next to his kitchen.
The new taps, mixer variety, the spout goes in an arc, and the top of the
arc is approx 60mm higher than the
hot water tank.

His cold water out the tap is great, but the hot water out the tap is
slow. I'm guessing the height of the
arc above the tank is the issue? Am I right? I seem to recall his
previous mixer was a lot lower.


Hi SantaUK,

It's not really a matter of the height of the hot water tank, but more a
matter of the height of the cold water tank that feeds the hot tank. I've
had pointed out to me many time in the group, that it is possible that the
mixer tap is set to run at high pressure and that may be the most likely the
cause. The only solution others have come up with, is to change the taps
for a low pressure one.

Someone will probably confirm this for us.
