New stopcock fitted but it hasn't solved the problem. | |

We must have a shit tap TBH (it's a bit fucked anyway) as when you open the cold tap completely you don't get gushing water coming out of it whereas you do from say the garden tap for example. | |

the pressure is the same at all the outlets, you will loose a bit of flow rate through the pipes though so you will fill the bucket a tiny tiny bit quicker at the stop tap than you would at the kitchen | |

When I was replacing a faulty valve and fitting a new one elsewhere recently, during my valve operation tests I'm pretty sure the pressure was much stronger at that point than from the kitchen tap. | |

Mains pressure is just what comes out of your kitchen tap. | |

Surely with the high pressure from the mains water, the bucket would be filled up in like 5 seconds? :o | |

Well after ripping all the wood off arround it to get a good look I can see my house has the old school lead piping running into the house. | |

Before you connect it to the rest of the house connect the mains end up and blow it threw for a while into a bucket | |

Yea it does. There's a shut of valve under a hatch in the front garden. Once turned off it looks fairly simple to change the stopcock. | |

How you planning on changing your stopcock? | |

Yea all the cold taps in the house have the same poor pressure. The hot water runs off a tank and is fine, however the tank can be slow to fill if say the washing machine is on. | |

Are they all off mains? What tap downstairs, kitchen? | |

The mains water pressure in my 1930s house is shit, to the point where the toilet won't fill if the tap downstairs is on. |
