    Low hotwater pressure
    HI
    I have very low pressure at all hot water taps, hot water tank is new, pressure tank is new
    Set at 20/40 tried 30/50 no difference in pressure, I know line`s are not blocked,
    Cold water pressure good, I have a small in line filter and a water softener between pressure tank and hot water tank, what can I try next to improve hot water pressure ?

    Did you have pressure before you installed the new heater? Do you flush your heater out on a regular maintenance schedule? Do you have heat trap nipples on your heater? In short we need more details. Regards, Tom
