    Possible airlock if you drained down the water. Did you use flexi-tap connectors for the new taps? If so they could be kinked.

    Is the isolator fully opened?
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.
  • look at the size of the hole in a 22mm flexi, link here, then you will know why the flow isn't very good, if you change the iso to a full bore one, link here, it might make it better,

    plus the flexi's must be wras approved for hot & cold supplies
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.
