Hi all,
I have an issue with both the toilet and washing machine where they consume water far too quickly!
When I had to replace my washing machine a little while back I noticed that when it fills with water it does so very quickly and when it shuts off I get hammer down the pipes (same thing with the loo but no hammer). I fitted a hammer arrester to the washing machine feed which did the job for a while but I guess it's scaled up now and doesn't work so well. It also means that when you flush the loo there is almost no flow to wash your hands with because the cistern is stealing it all. Is there a way to slow down the water flow into these 2 so they don't hog all the water when running? I tried to turn down the isolation valves but that just results in a loud whistling!
