Re: Hot & cold water taps - don't work at the same time 4Jul 17, 2013 3:49 pm devank bashworth Sounds like a low pressure problem. Even the problem with the bath taps (water doesn't come thorugh at the same time) due to low pressure? Yes if pressure is low then water will take the easiest route to the outlet, "starving" the other system of flow. To check time filling a bucket with both the bath taps open. If you are not filling a 10 litre bucket in around 30 secs low pressure is going to be the issue. The Harder You Try - the Luckier You Get !

If you are not filling a 10 litre bucket in around 30 secs low pressure is going to be the issue. Thank you for your advice bashworth. I checked the main tap (next to the water meter). It is fully opened. Called the water company. Apprently they haven't reduced the pressure in our area. Each set of taps have different pressure. Garden taps have the highest pressure. Kitchen taps are working well (both hot & cold). Bath & shower taps are the worst. Is it still a pressure issue or plumbing issue?

Some sort of blue stuff was blocking the flow. They all got stuck in 'flow regulators'. Now everything is back to normal. Depends how much direct sun it gets. Is there any shading (eaves or trees)?
