Water Pressure

[nona suomy]

The hot water tap in my bath is suddenly very low on pressure. The sink and kitchen taps are fine. Any ideas why this might be.

We had the same problem in our last house. I came to the conclusion that it may have been blocked by something such as a small pebble which had found its way into the pipework. I solved the problem by attaching a piece of hose to the cold tap and the hot tap (secure with jubilee clips to prevent them from slipping off) then blasting it by turning the cold tap on first, leaving it for a few seconds for pressure to build up then opening the hot tap.

I don't know if this is permitted by water authorities but it did the trick.

Gazza's method is the preferred way of removing an air blocks from the hot water system (which may be the cause of your problem).
