Ask your QuestionWhy is the hot water flow from my tap slower than the cold water flow? Any ideas why this might be happening? Can it be fixed DIY usually?
Asked by Charles on 9th May 2022"It's likely you have mains cold water supplying all of the cold water outlets in your home whilst all the hot water outlets are supplied from an unpressurised gravity fed hot water cylinder. If this is not the case and your cold water (apart from the cold supply in your kitchen) is also gravity fed, then it might be that there is an excessive amount of chalk debris at the bottom of your hot water tank restricting the flow of hot water."
