Discuss Unvented ( pressurised ) Hot water tank lost pressure in the UK Plumbing Forum | Plumbing Advice area at PlumbersForums.net

Hi, We have a large Heatrea Sadia unvented hot water tank, not sure of the size in liters but its about 1600mm tall.

The tank is around 3 years old now and was amazing when it was first installed. Around a year ago we had a problem with water dripping from the overflow pipe outside and we ended up having a new expansion tank put in and a valve was replaced on the back / top of the tank. I know the value isn't an original part as he picked it up from Screwfix and the fix stopped the water dripping.

Ever since the water pressure has been much lower in the showers. We have really good water pressure at the house and i have checked the stopcock in the house which is pretty much fully open as well a steh one in the road, nothing else has changed so i'm wondering the new valve that was fitted is incorrect and restricting flow. I have spoken to the plummber that done the work and he say not and has wiped his hands of the issue.

Can anyone give me any ideas on what the issue could be as i'd really like the water pressure back to normal in my showers again. I'm expecting to have to ask another plumber to take a look but wanted to have an idea of the issue before hand. I'm based in Leicester.

Thanks
