Water Soudness Test

[jolahej24]

How do I perform both hot and cold water soudness test?

if it is a small job I would turn on one valve at a time and check as you go! on a large / whole house install I would air test the pipe work.

With a microphone?

I've no idea, to be honest!! Unless it's to check for leaks.

I think it's 2x working pressure for 30min. Then dropping down to 1.5 for 60min. Observe for pressure drop

Ah!! If the question had been a pressure test ...!!! (Think outside the box dkia)

Is that water or air?

Water

i'd do air first if you've got more than one leak you've got problems imho

air test is an easy mess free way to check!
