Hi

Hoping for a bit of advice please.

98 Bailey with mixer tap at kitchen sink.

Cold water pressure great, hot water barely dribbles through.

Had tap off to check for blockages, twisted pipes etc.

Following other threads turned bathroom hot tap on then kitchen hot tap - makes no difference at all.

Any ideas what else we could try please?

Is there any way of getting under the floor through a hatch/access panel maybe to see if pipes are twisted?

Reluctant to buy new tap if its likely to be something else.

Any help would be great, many thanks.

Hi Leisa, I'm not an expert or even know what I'm doing really, but when I asked someone about the same problem, they advised that there may be an air lock in the system.  Just wiggle the pump about under the water container (switched of), this may help.  I was also told it may be my micro switch(!)  Good luck, but contact the wizard for more help, he's brilliant.

Try and open the tap so that both hot and cold flow out (central position is a good bet) . Cup your hand over the spout and you might be able to flush the cold water through the hot water sytem. Its an old plumbers trick for house water sytems and might just do it.

Be careful though or you might have a wet face! Try putting your hand inside a plastic bag before you cover the spout.

Hi Leisa , what make of water heater do you have .
