    Folks,

    I know these airlocks have been covered here but my problem is with the hot tap in the sink in the bathroom. All the other taps are fine including the bathroom bath taps. I dont have mixers in either bath or sink in bathroom but have them in the sink in the kitchen.
    The flow to the electric shower is also very low but this is tank fed and I had a look in the attic an all seams ok. Just a pipe 25 feet, directly from tank through ceitling to shower.

    Tks a lot,

    John

    Depending on the pipe runs you could easily have an airlock in the hot in the kitchen.

    Search this forum, there are many many threads about how to clear it.

    As for low pressure on a tank fed shower, there could be dirt blocking or partially blocking the pipe, and that would be the cause.

    it is possible to have an airlock in 1 tap only even tho the rest are working etc.
