    Loss of hot water pressure
    Hi,

    In the last few days I have lost a fair amount of pressure in the hot water taps only (cold are fine). I have a combi boiler and the pressure gauge under it is reading just below 1 - I think it should be between 1 and 2?

    The hot tap in the bathroom has been dripping for a while, but does stop if closed very tight. I'm not sure if this has something to do with the problem.

    Any suggestions about what could be causing it and what might fix it would be very welcome (I read that 'repressurising' is a start, but I've no idea what this involves!). I will give as much other info as possible if required.

    Thanks in advance, David


    P.S. I did read some other posts about water pressure problems, but they seemed to be about tanks and mine is slightly different.
