    All my hot water taps give me is a trickle of water. It takes about 20 minutes to give me enough water to have a bath. I heat my water using a immersion heater. Any help would be appreciated
    Thanx
     
  2. hi,

    make sure all your hot and cold valves are fully turned on,

    You might have an air lock. You could try connecting the hot water tap on your downstairs sink directly to the rising cold water main. The best and easiest way to do this is to connect an old washing machine hose to both hot and cold washing machine valves and open them for about 2 to 3 minutes. This should back pressurise the hot water supply all the way to your cylinder.
    When you open your hot taps then you should have much better pressure.
