Discuss New taps, poor flow rate in the DIY Plumbing Forum area at PlumbersForums.net

It’s not that they shouldn’t be sold, it’s just that people shouldn’t buy them if their water system is not suitable.
Using a decent plumber will avoid this.
 
This is what's specced in the manual.

Seems like they're not suitable the based on your and @snowhead replies.

@snowhead out of interest is there and easy way to calculate the approximate pressure coming from a CW loft tank and also from a HW cylinder? Would avoid me making this mistake again in future.
On a set up like this I only ever give the option of a 0.2 tap there are actually loads out there.

That's the problem I have been having, trying to find a "decent plumber" especially when moving out of area.
Of course i also suspect many of these taps have been fitted as a DIY job, my "new" house seems to have suffered 15 years of assorted botchery from the previous.
