    Waterflow from Bathroom taps are slow
    Hi what can I do to increase the flow of water from my kitchen and bathroom taps. There's no constant flow of water coming out and takes awhile to fill the bath, compared to other peoples waterflow.

    What is the cause for this and what can I do to improve this.

    How old is your home and what material are the water pipes made of?

    Hi it's my mother in-laws house and its about 30 years old, I think its copper pipes being used as well. I've noticed the cold water comes out fast but warm water comes out slowly and randomly doing a slow then fast type of flow so there's no constant flow of water coming out.
