    Hi all
    I have poor pressure in my hot tap in the kitchen
    Every other hot tap is perfect except the kitchen
    We have a mixer tap in the kitchen and the cold is flying but switch over to hot and it's only a good trickle

    Iv checked the filter on the end of the tap and it's clear

    Any ideas. Tia

    Did you check the pipes underneath to see if there’s any kinks in the hot feed to the tap? We had same issue with new tap fitted last year and turned out to be that

    Has the mixer always been like this or is it a new development?

    The cold is mains pressure and the hot water is gravity. So the hot should be only a third as powerful as the cold.

    The kitchen mixer tap may be a high pressure tap where it s be a low pressure tap.

    You should only have a high pressure tap if the hot water is Pumped /pressurised
