Hey guys!

Im new to this forum, as im completly useless with boilers and can appreciate any form of help!

The water pressure for the upstairs bathroom is extremely low, and i dont know how i can increase the water pressure?

ive included a picture of the pipes going up into the boiler...do i need to fiddle with any of them?

Just for your information it is a Bosch 30 CDI Combi

Many Thanks!!

That won't make any difference :sad:

Make sure the main stop cock is open all the way. What's the flow like at the kitchen sink compared to the bathroom? You need to time how long it takes to fill a bucket rather than looking how fast it comes out as the taps will have different characteristics :wink:

BTW :welcomeuhm: Optimusf

Do you mean the water at the taps is low.

If so nothing you can do about it, certainly that wouldn't be very expensive.

Hiya thanks for the feedback

this morning all of a sudden the water pressure in the whole house is extremely slow?? especially upstairs.

i saw a video that if you twist the filling key and move the other white top around the water pressure would increase- but this didnt work :(

Can you also post how long it takes the hot to fill at the kitchen sink as well.
