I live in a maisonette and there is a single pipe that comes in from the street for both flats.
The pipe that enters the building is lead, probably 3/4, and is changed to 15mm copper pipe with an stopcock. This goes on for about 5-10m where it splits to both flats.
Generally, water pressue is ok, but when more than one tap is on, pressure drops significantly.
My question is, if the 15mm pipe was changed to 22, would that help to increase pressure, or would I not really notice a difference? or would it be better if the pipes were split at the point of entry instead of about 5-10m in as currently?
Thanks
