I recently realized that the hot water pressure is much lower (probably about 1/2) than the cold water pressure. It's the same throughout the house. It's probably been gradually decreasing, but just became noticeable.

The hot water heater is about 7 years old. When a hose is connected to the drain, hot water flows freely, but there is no sediment. I turned the cold water shut-off valve On/Off several times to see if possibly it was restricting the cold water input. But no change.

I welcome your thoughts & suggestions.

Cheers, Tom

I have not water from the hot water tank,cold water OK.

I had problems with frozen pipes,after everything was OK,I turn the hot water tank on and do not have go water pressure.

I had frozen pipes in the house,I shut the hot water tank off until everything was thraw out.I started the hot water tank up,but there isn't enough water pressure. Cold water is OK.

Leave the pressure on and open up the boiler drain for a minute. Is there a strong stream coming out of the drain? Let me know. Regards. To m
