Is there any way of increasing the flow of hot water from the bath tap? Reason we got the boiler was cos the hot water flow from the old one got progressivly worse. New one fitted yesterday but although the flow is better than it was its still not brilliant. Is there anything that can be done?

Its driven by the size/capacity of the boiler and (within limits that can be adjusted) the settings on a panel on the Combi. In the first instance contact the company that fitted it. Who decided which boiler to specify - them of you? Did they explain the limitations. Check the amount of water coming out in litres per minute.

To be honest it may possibly be the actual bath tap cos the flow out of the stand up shower and also the hand held shower is quite powerful

Perhaps the tap is faulty?

The head gear may be damaged and it may not be opening fully.

There is a good explanation of how the head gear works on this page-http://www.ultimatehandyman.co.uk/taps/index.h tm

If it is damaged you can buy a set of tap revivers, most DIY / plumbing shops sell these, instructions are also on that page on how to fit these.

Appreciate all your help guys.... me and the missus have agreed that its probably the mixer tap so we will be buying a new one.

Thanks for your suggestions
