Hello, Hope you guys can help, I have a conk/clunk noise coming out the cylinder, when I draw hot water from any tap in the house - I’ve checked the pipes and I’m very sure its not water hammer, I will attached couple of recordings to the this post and what my setup looks like.
The cylinder is a Megaflo which is a warranty replacement from Baxi as the old one was make the same noise every minute or so whenever the boiler was heating the water, that noise was coming from within the cylinder too, some sort of expansion issue.
Baxi have been called out, and I’ve requested that they send out an senior engineer to troubleshoot this, as they have installed this unit. The noise doesn’t happen all the time and its not a loud crashing noise, its more of a metallic clunk noise however it seems more prevalent at night or when the cylinder has not been in use for a while.
I’ve regenerated the cylinder, however its made no difference, the cold water is balanced as the mains water is fed directly to the PRV and from here its and tee’ed off to the cylinder and rest f the taps. Whilst I wait for Baxi, any insights into this would be most useful, it would be sods law, to think that this unit is also faulty [like the 1st].
Thanks in advance.
