Hot water pressure has dropped in the house.

    Hot water pressure has dropped in the house.
    The cold water is fine.
    We have a heat pump, which is working. Its just when we turn on any hot water tap in the house, the pressure is really low.
    The tank in the attic is full too.

    I'm wondering where the pressure should be coming from? The cold wate pressure is fine. Is there a water pump within the heatpump which gives the hot water its pressure?

    We have visitors this weekend, so 7 kids marauding around the house! I wonder if they turned any taps/knobs...

    Any suggestions?

    Has it happened all of a sudden?

    If you have a hot water booster pump there could be an issue with this.

    Turns out it was an air lock. Odd though - I tried to release it a few times, before success.

    Thanks for all your inputs.
