Bad hot water pressure

    Bad hot water pressure

    Hello, I just moved into a flat and it's all electric. I have a boiler which has this written on it: "Albion the cylinder people, economy 7 cylinder, fitted with sacrificial anode. J Baguley & Sons Ltd, max heater 14 inches/350mm"

    Although my cold water pressure is excellent, my hot water pressure is poor.....it trickles out of my kitchen tap and also my bathroom tap (although the bath tap which is nearest to the boiler is okay).

    The boiler has the main cylinder and a header tank on top of it - it is just above head-height. I've tried turning the red tap and also adjusting the ball-a-fix valves, but to no avail. Any ideas on how to adjust the pressure or what might be causing bad pressure? Could the inside of the pipes/header tank need a clean??

    Can I get a pump to force the water out quicker?

    I assume that these boilers are meant to be able to do the job, otherwise they wouldn't make them. Any ideas?

    Thank you so much,
    Steven P.
