Cheers for the reply, The hissing definately isn't air. It's hard to describe but it's actually the whistling sound you hear when you have water running through a pipe, and it's coming from inside the fitting. You'd know what I mean if you heard it. Also, I'd have thought that if air was coming...

Hello, I've noticed that my bathroom basin tap has started hissing constantly while it's turned off. It actually sounds like water is constantly flowing through the tap. There is a tiny, constant dribble of water from the top of the tap which has been there since I installed it a couple of...

Ah OK, that's a possibility. I'm going to try some other things before I check the F&E cistern for the simple reason that my loft hatch is 2' square hole over a 30' deep stairwell and I am not great with ladders. :shock: I'm going to start another thread about my hissing tap, because...

Cheers for the reply. I dried the whole area round the valve off and watched for a few minutes so I'm pretty sure it's nothing to do with the valve. I have a new, exotic theory as to what might be causing the problem... The basin mixer tap in my bathroom has started hissing. Put your head...

Good Evening, My cold water cistern has been overflowing. The float valve seemed to be working OK but I replaced it anyway. Somehow the cistern is still filling up and the only other culprit would seem to be the cylinder vent pipe. The problem's intermittant and the cistern is a bit...
