Why has the hot water flow rate decreased, despite it working fine before?

1. The water pump, water piping, or faucet appears to be faulty.

Possible reason:
It might be due to wear and tear, corrosion, or mechanical malfunctions accumulated over extended usage.

Recommended solution:
Kindly approach technicians to conduct on-site inspection and repair to ensure an uninterrupted water supply.

2. The reduced hot water flow rate may be due to sediment or object blockage in the pipes or the safety valve filter net.
