Hello people

I've posted about this before but can't get in to the thread to view the answers

I had a mains eco lite 35 boiler installed in my property. Since having the boiler installed the hot water pressure has significantly reduced!

Previously had a glow worm combi boiler and the water pressure with that boiler was really good

Any ideas what could be causing the poor water flow?

I've attached some pictures of the boiler and pipes

To Indi_s You could probably get Gas Safe to come out (for free?). May be worth giving them a phone call and explain the situation.
Yes can be dangerous the old boiler might of been ok the new ones these days are gas hungry and need more than the old ones hence most of the time needing to upgrade to 28mm pipes depending on run etc
If we are assuming the old bpiler was 28kW and this one is 24kW, why would the old one need less gas than this one? It's counter-logical - but my logic may be wrong.
