Noisy Pipes and Splutting Taps

[Liamsbab]

Hi, I had a Ideal boiler fitted a couple of weeks ago. Since yesterday the pipes are making a noise when i use the cold and hot water taps upstairs and downstairs and when i flush the toilet. Also, the taps a shooting out water with force, hot and cold upstairs and downstairs. Any ideas what this could be?

Thanks in advance

Suzanne

Hello, I had a Ravenheat (not sure what model) before and i have an Ideal HE24 now

 

[corgiman]

an icos or an isar?

 

[Liamsbab]

its an Isar

ok the pressure on your mains is too high and you need a pressure reducing valve fitted IMHO

Thanks for your replies. I had the boiler fitted by Warmfront, so i will contact the company that fitted the boiler, i hope itn not too expensive to fix

He doesn't have anything that's Ideal

Poor I know but clean... Sorry


If you've only had the system a few weeks, get the Engineer back out... I assume you did have a RGI to install it didn't you?

edit: sorry just seen the replies. They should have measured the pressure when they fitted. Have you recently had your Water Service Main renewed? That would have an affect on the Water Pressure. If not, then I'd be wanting to know why they didn't spot the pressure when fitting. Have you had this problem since fitting? Seems strange that you are only having this problem now?

the prv is about 30 plus vat and depending on where the rising main is about an hour to fit

 

[corgiman]

not strange blas if the water board have upped the pressure recently

We had the bolier fitted about two weeks ago, and this problem started yesterday. I did not have this problem with the last boiler i had, but i went without heating and hot water for a number of weeks prior to having the new boiler fitted
