Hi, I have noticed quite often that the water from one of our kitchen mixer taps is not hot. I had put it down previously to maybe being a quirk of our circulating hot water system. But I noticed at the weekend that the other tap in the kitchen was hot and this one just lukewarm whilst running them at the same time, so now I realise there is probably an issue with the tap. It is a Blanco Culina S-Mini. The temperature starts cold when set to cold but only moves to maybe 30C when you move it to hot. Looking on line I found a video suggesting that you need to flush the pipes when you install the tap. Could it be that there is dirt in one of the pipes, or could something else be causing this issue? Thanks

Fitting the tap for the basin. Three parts to this question: - how the heck do you tighten up the tails on a tall pillar monobloc, when the connection is buried several inches up inside the thing? Or is hand tight sufficient? - should I junk the flexi tails that came with the tap, and get solid copper ones instead? And if I do, are the connections at the top end all the same? - I need to hook this up to Hep2O, so is it worth junking the supplied flexis which end in a 1/2" thread, and fitting Hepworth's own flexis that have push fit connectors already on them? The other option is to use the existing flexis and buy Hep tap conns, which only saves a few quid and means extra connections. I'd also trust a Hep flexi over an unbranded eBay one. Thanks for any help

I might need to put up some friends in the unfinished house (hope no Council Tax assesors catch me!) and the hot water system isn't bought yet, let alone installed. I'd like to have a working basin though. I'm planning on fitting a pillar mixer tap. If I plumb in the cold feed only, what will happen? Will water come out the unplumbed hot side??
