Slow bath cold feed, airlock or something else?

[uselessplumber]

Hey, i'm trying to get the bath in before tilers turn up, but the cold tap on the old bath was running really slow. I've since connected a flexi tap connector to the pipe to test and it is running pretty slow, i mean its not coming out like it does the taps in our other bathroom.

I have drained down the system to remove the bath in the first place, so i'm wondering if it could be an airlock.

My question really is, is it possible to have an airlock and still get "ok" flow through the pipe?

Also would the flow seem faster out of a tap than a flexi hose? i don't see why it should, but it really does gush out of our other bath.

I have the bits to connect a hose through the window to the flexi tap connector, but want to be sure this will help!

note: We have a gravity fed system, and the bath feed is 22mm pipe with nothing else on it apart from this bath.

Have you blasted mains cold through yet?

Maybe it's time to get a professional or a wet vac to try to get rid of the blockage ... I'd like to as well if you already flushed through with mains ?
