    Hot water pressure low
    Hello I live in a hardwater area and I have noticed over the last few months a build up of limescale being deposited out of the hot water tap, I have a limescale buster thing fitted but this is about three years old. Now my hot water supply has slowed is this a lack of pressure? How do I clear the lime out of the boiler or do I have to call in a plumber?

    Thanks in advance Boggyfen

    Do you have a hot water heater or a boiler on a hot water heating system. Regards, Tom

    Sorry it's a worcester 24i junior (combi) I am still getting hot water at a trickle, the pressures is fine on the boiler but I think that this is for the heating side. If it is limescale can an ordinary man do the job (me) or do I need to call a plumber?

    Thanks again Boggyfen
