I have recently had a new bathroom suite installed.
The bath tap and feed for the toilet cistern both come from near each other from the same pipe. I will post some images later.
Everything works fine, apart from intermittantly when the toilet has flushed, the cistern doesn't fill up again afterwards. The solution is to flick the cold tap, and then the cistern starts filling instantly and works fine. The cistern is a concealed type in a cupboard from MFI.
It feels very much like a vacuum effect. Can anyone explain what could be wrong. The pipe layout is a single cold pipe running along the underneath of the bath with the cold tap coming off the end of it. Tee's come off before the end of the pipe for the toilet cistern and the shower, but the shower is still isolated.
Does it sound like faulty plumbing or faulty cistern. I had to replace the taps over the weekend as they were leaking, and it only seems to have done this since then. Could the new taps be a fault?
Thanks in advance
