Why is the cold water pressure so low?

Friday, December 11th, 2009

The cold water pressure in my tub is very low. It basically just trickles out, but the hot water is fine.
Anyone know why or have any ideas on how to fix it?
The cold water pressure in the rest of the house is great.

Is it okay to wash a white tshirt in hot water?

Friday, December 11th, 2009

I usually wash my towels, socks, and white undershirts under hot-warm. However, I have this one white t-shirt with a graphic on it that says to wash cold, does it really matter if I throw it in with the hot wash cause it’s the only white material I have that calls for a cold wash.

On well pump and it’s -3 degres outside only low pressure cold water to house?

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Im on a well pump and its -3 degres outside right now. I went to turn on the water and I only get really cold water and extremely low pressure. Could it be that the water is frozen or the pump? If that could be the case what can I do to get hot water to the house again?
I should have mentioned we have a tankless water heater and the pilot light is lit. The water pressure we do have just drips.

the hot water in my house turns cold very fast ever since it started getting cold outside?

what could be wrong? Normally our hot water may run cold if some one is running the hot water out by washing clothes, taking showers or baths or from the dishes..now the water just gets cold for no reason..what could be the problem?

Wen I run a hot shower, why does the gas boiler (or pipes) bang after about 10 minutes?

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

The theremostat broke off my shower months ago and until I can get it fixed, the temperature is fixed at a fairly hot setting. After about 10 minutes a loud bang is emitted (I think from the pipes) which is then heard outside where the vent is. I know I need to get the thermostat fixed but does anyone know why this is happening? Is it becuase of the surge of hot water needed to run the shower? Is it causing damager? It only happens when running a hot shower.

Why when I use the cold water in the kitchen, I lose hot water in the shower? How can I fix it?

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

Using the littlest bit of cold water drops water pressure and I lose hot water in my shower and probably other places. Why does the pressure drop and why does it affect the hot water?
Please Help!

Why does my combi boiler only heat water to the taps when the heating is on?

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

I have a combi boiler that recently had a part fixed as the hot water wasn’t getting to the radiators (the hot water in the taps was fine). Since then I now only get hot water to the taps if I switch the hot water to the radiators on as well. Any idea why? Will this be due to a mistake the plumber made when he fitted the last part?

Is it safe to wash nappies (diapers) on a cold water cycle in the washing machine?

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

I read recently that it was more the agitation and soap which got rid of the bacteria; even washing in hot water (boiling) didn’t kill all the baddies. These are modern cloth, so they’re made from PUL, bamboo, and microfleece. I hang them in the sun to dry when it’s sunny, but in rainy weather, they dry undercover (still outside).
