I had a new water heater element fitted a few weeks ago that heats water at night on economy 7. Previous heater elements have been very quiet but I can hear the new one heating the tank at night. It sounds a bit like a boiling kettle. Is this normal? It’s driving me mad!
Hello,
I'm a fairly adept DIYer but I have an issue with my plumbing and not entirely sure what's left to check.
I have an unvented indirect system with 1 hot / 1 heating zone, cylinder is a Range Tribune HE 150L pre-plumbed.
For quite a while now I've had a problem where after the hot water...
Hi, I've had an on going issue for over a year now and can't seem to get an answer. Hopefully can get some more information from the forum.
If I use the cold or hot water taps in my kitchen or bathroom, 10, 20, maybe 30 mins later it sounds as if the pipes have water running through them, as if...
Hi all, thanks in advance if there are any ideas.
I've got a Worcester Bosch Greenstar combi with Hive thermostat.
When the boiler turns on for central heating it makes a weird beep like a gameshow buzzer, a short rumble, then operates normally. Same thing happens when it turns off.
But it...
Hi, thx in advance if anyone has any ideas
I've got a Worcester Bosch combi with Hive thermostat. Whenever the central heating turns on I get a beep like a gameshow buzzer, and then little rumble. Does the same when turning off.
Never does this for just hot water.
I had British Gas come out a...
Hi All,
Has anyone ever come across this clicking noise before (see video, starts around 16 secs in)? Just bought a new house with this fitted only 2 years ago.
Thanks
I found this forum on google as I need advice. Before I start, I know nothing about plumbing or central heating systems other than what I’ve read online. I’ll explain, basically we rent, sane place for 8 years and for quite a number of those years we’ve had to top up the boiler pressure way more...
Having a problem with a recent installation. Fitted new unvented cylinder and boiler. Everything fine for 6 months Then I get a call from my customer reporting a water hammer issue. I attend site and fit a shock arrestor. 2 days later he phones me back... still doing it. He says when you open a...
I have a Grundfos MQ3-45 feeding my domestic water from a ground level tank (filled from an RO system from the well). The pump is about 4 years old, with normal-heavy household use. Today it started making a bit of an awful noise - see the attached video. I disassembled the hydraulic end of it...
How to stop/cure the high pitched noise bathroom sink that stops when water turned on but then starts again shortly ( time varies ) after water has been turned off. Do not know if relevant but I noticed if I turn on the cold water only, there is first a entirely different lower like noise for...
There is a noise coming from my neighbour's house through the party wall. Sounds like a pump of some sort. They have had a new ensuite installed recently and also a pipe from first to ground floor was leaking and they had it repaired. The noise comes and goes every couple of days. When it is on...
Has anyone tried lining joist notches with a low friction, high temperature resistant material to prevent the bangs when a pipe expands and momentarily sticks on the joist?
Hello, when our hot water comes on in the morning and evening there is a deep grinding noise which lasts less than 5 minutes and then stops. After that, all is well. We have a combi boiler.
Thanks.
Hiya, any help would be great.
I have recently moved into a new house (4 days ago) and only notice an odd noise the last 2 days.
Managed to track it down and it’s coming from a the Danfoss dual units (specifically not the one by the wall). Any help with it would be great as it doesn’t sound...
Recently over the past 2 months, the boiler or area by the water tank has started making a loud groaning noise whenever hot water has been running for much over a minute (sometimes less). Since the weather has gotten cooler, the radiators seem to come on (unless turned off at the TRV) whenever a...

Hi All: I have always appreciated your comments and troubleshooting recommendations. If I may ask for your thoughts on the following:
I have and older Orbit WaterMaster valve. Please see attached photo. I have 4 of these valves in the manifold. I have replaced the diaphragm on all 4...
Hello
I have no experience in this industry. A few years ago our home was completely stripped apart, remodelled and extended. This required new hot and cold water pipes all over the house, a larger boiler, larger tank and so on - see attached. We wanted the water tank to go into the loft but...
When I turn on my hot water taps anywhere in the house, after about half a minute there is a humming noise all around the house. When I turn on the cold tap, the noise stops. Any ideas what is causing this humming noise?? Thanks Michael.
A constant ‘hum’ noise has started and I’ve traced it back to the water meter in the street in front of the house. The noise internally can be heard from the stopcock and you can feel a bit of vibration in the pipe work around the stopcock. The dials on the water meter are dead still when there...
