3in1 Tap flow issue

View the thread, titled "3in1 Tap flow issue" which is posted in DIY Plumbing Advice on UK Plumbers Forums.

Hi All, glad to join the forum. Am hoping to figure out the following conundrum and would appreciate any pointers:

Have fitted a Verossi 3in1 tap with a CanisterPro 2.4 boiler in the kitchen which has a 1-3 bar operating pressure. The 3 tails (cold in/hot in/cold to filter then on to tank) are all fitted in their right holes (according to manufacturers diagram). Nothing leaks. The boiler fills up nicely and appears to function correctly, but when you turn the boiling water tap, nothing comes out....... unless you turn on the combined cold/mains hot tap as well, which starts the boiling water flowing. Furthermore, the more you turn the other tap on, the more flow comes from the boiling tap. Turn the cold off and the boiling water stops with it. I am guessing it is a pressure problem as the water tank is not pumped. At the cold tap I get about 10l/min and at the outside garden tap I am getting (roughly) 33l/min if that helps but I have now reached the limits of my extremely limited expertise. If anyone wants to take a stab at it I'd be grateful.

regards to all,
Simon
