For the last few months there has been an issue with the heat/pressure fo the water upstairs. This hasn't affected the downstairs washroom though.
Any reason why we would be getting less how water upstairs than downstairs/ IS it possible the pipes are clogged? *never heard of that itself which is why i am asking here before I call a plumber.
I have a hot water on demand kind of system for hot water baseboard, so it isn't the water heater..which wouldn't make too much sense since the downstairs isn't affected. There are 2 zones, upstairs and downstairs.
The upstairs showe system is old and the diverter is kind of crappy, but there will be a bathroom reno in which that is changed this summer, so I will attribute a bit of the issue on pressure to that...
Ideas?
the house is approx 40 years old, and the water heat system is 9 years old.
