Hi all, i have fitted a 22mm scale inhibitor today( due to very hard water) and have lost pressure to all the cold taps in my property bar the outside tap and the washer valve feed . I have also lost around 4L a minute on the flow rate on all the affected taps . Property is a new build MDPE incoming onto a 22mm brass stop tap all piped in 22mm copper t'd off to 15mm for the kitchen sink . Hot water side is a indirect unvented system which is not affected .I'm a plumber so straight away i took out the scale inhibitor out , fitted a new stop tap and piped straight back through to the existing pipe work just incase the inhibitor or stap tap was reducing the flow but the cold pressure is still low for my property . The new pipework was all done in 22mm copper soldered with solder ring fittings but due to lack of space under the kitchen sink i had to elbow down from the incoming main into the scale inhibitor then elbow back up and around to the existing pipe work .
Has any one any ideas what the problem could be or ever experienced this before . I have done this plenty of times before on customers houses and never had a problem.
Thanks in advance .
