Was visiting my niece on Wednesday, and she mentioned a slow filling bath. Or rather my brother did. More like a trickle from both hot and cold. Is a
70s house with header tank and storage system. They seemed vague if it was the original bath and taps - but said it was once ok. They had a plumber in who changed the cold gate valve beside the storage cylinder for a full flow one - no improvement. But didn't take the side off the bath to see what size pipes into the taps. Everything in the airing cupboard round the cylinder was 22mm and neatly done. He was said to have 'flushed' the pipes out. It's a hard water area.I didn't have a chance to look at anything other than the airing cupboard
- kids being bathed, and then supper on the table for the adults. Did notice the hot water flow in the kitchen was pathetic though - not surprising with a monoblock tap designed for high pressure.
They have a 'power shower' in their onsuite which is fine. The pump for that is in the airing cupboard.
