nb88 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 got a slight problemo.... basically my bathroom upstairs has really low pressure on the cold water taps (bath/shower and sink). Downstairs is perfectly normal. I went to the loft and the cold water tank is full so im thinking theres a problem with the line from the tank to the sink? It went like this like 2 days ago after i took a bath. I thought the tank might be empty but its not. Damn annoying. Any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Maybe there's air in there? I was watching something on TV the other day and all you have to do is put a hose pipe on the end of the tap in the bathroom then turn the hose pipe on for a few seconds. Might be worth a try? :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spangler Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 (edited) I'm not a plumber but i know a lil bit. In england we have pressure regulators along the pipes near to our taps/showers they are like a little lump in the pipe that you can turn to be in a ( I , / , ---) position, they regulate the flow of water through the pipes so try that! When my tap messed up what happened was the tap would spin for ages but it would just drizzle out. Eventually i dicovered after taking the tap head off that the body has a little c clip washer that had slipped down. I put the washer back where it was supposed to be and no problems since. It broke because i turned the tap to much and it popped the washer down. It's amasing what you learn having your own house. lol I hope one of those works for you if not find out online as plumbers are expensive :ermm: Edited December 2, 2005 by spangler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
