On Off Noise from Megaflo

[calvey88]

Hi. I have a Baxi Megaflo 170DD Unvented Direct Cylinder.

Over the last 24 hours, the water pipes leading in to it have been making noises every couple of minutes - as if there’s a heavy flow of water, then a sudden stop.

This repeats every couple of minutes.

Any idea what is causing this?

I still have hot water and no issues with water pressure through my taps.

Thanks

Have you checked the tun dish attached to the cylinder to see if water is flowing through it?

Hi. Thanks for coming back.
I’ve checked the tin dish and there’s no dripping or water flowing through it. Should there be?

Yes the toilet is refilling itself. In fact, one of the toilets has a constant flow of water coming down the rim into the bowl

that could well be it, fit new filler/ flush, may as well do both, saves later replacing later.

If you're hearing this noise from the cylinder cupboard then the chances are you toilets come off a balanced supply in the cupboard. The toilet constantly filling will cause this noise.
Do as cjg advises above and all should be well.
