Hello,
Just moved into a new property where the house is approx. 70 yrs old.
I have an issue with the hot water where if I'm running the hot water on the main floor (sink/kitchen/shower) and the cold water tap is opened in the basement (laundry/laundry tub), then the hot water pressure cuts out to practically no flow.
I have 1/2" copper coming from my the bladder tank from the cistern out to all branches of the house. All plumbing is copper, however it is pretty old and there are a number of valves in the runs.
Any ideas what could cause this and how to fix?
