poor flow

The Poor Knights Islands are a group of islands off the east coast of the Northland Region of the North Island of New Zealand. They lie 50 kilometres (31 mi) to the northeast of Whangarei, and 22 kilometres (14 mi) offshore halfway between Bream Head and Cape Brett. Uninhabited since the 1820s, they are a nature reserve and popular underwater diving spot, with boat tours typically departing from Tutukaka. The Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve surrounds the island.
Beaglehole (1955) comments that the origin of the island name is not clear, and speculates that the name could be related to the Poor Knights of Windsor, or that the islands were named for their resemblance to Poor Knight's Pudding, a bread-based dish topped with egg and fried, popular at the time of discovery by Europeans.

    good pressure but poor mains flow?

    At all outlets. Combi. Every tap performs like a tank-fed one with relatively decent head. But you'd never guess it was mains. My mate has a thing you attatch to a washing machine hose and it measured it at 3 bar. Thoughts on why such unimpressive mains flow? Poor supply pipe from street...
