    I honestly didn't think cleaning the strainer would do the trick, unfortunately.:cry:

    Surprising that the strainer blockage wasn't reflected in poor cold and HW flowrates, this reminds me once again of one of the world's...

    Think I fixed it! Strainer had loads of gunk in it! The reason why I never questioned this is I thought it would be the first thing a...

    I would suggest you definitely determine the mains pressure, you should be able to this with that miny arrestor, shut off the mains...

    Very good, didn't read the posts properly, but whatever, if the burner runs for awhile just test for the pump spindle turning or not.

    That Selectric is a pretty old pump, just do as suggested above, when system cools down enough to reset the hi level temp trip just get...

    I read somewhere where someone installed a 5L charged to 2bar with a mains pressure of 5bar which apparently worked.

    I have seen posts where replacing them did apparently get rid of the problem but obviously no guarantee. What vol is the under sink...

    So you've seen my edited post above?, ie the balanced cold is taken from the multibloc?

    The Cylinder EV is purely for accomodating the expansion volume when the cylinder heats up, it may help to dampen water hammer., there...

    One would think that opening and closing cold water taps shouldn't cause the multibloc to then cause a problem, you could install a...

    Not much more you can do so, it is of limited value as it only proves that the mains pressure after the PRV is 3.0bar or less, only...

    Johntheo5 replied to the thread Water hammer.
    Ideally, the PRV set pressure should be set to the (dynamic) mains pressure with a big HW demand, your pressure may only be 2bar or so...

    Did the check the PRV (pressure reducing valve) pressure and setting, this is usually set to 3.0bar, you can do a few tests yourself if...
