I guess if I try one valve at a time it might indicate which one?

Hi, We have a Tribune HE hot water tank along with a boiler in the garage. It is a new build property and is now almost 5 years old. In the evening the pump that sits below the hot water tank continues to run even when the heating and hot water are off. We had this problem previously and I was...

It does, but only in the bathroom. When the kitchen tap is running it stays warm and the boiler doesn't trip.

So if I see a significant difference in the flowrate when connected to the tap and when not connected to the tap, could the taps be faulty?

No, the flexible are straight. I guess I need to check the flowrate both through the taps and directly from the flexible connection to compare. For my benefit, I'm assuming that low pressure taps are designed to minimise the resistance when used with a low pressure system, however when...

The pipework is 15mm copper, it was replaced about 4 years ago when I fitted the bathroom. Not sure on the actual volume flow, however the engineer disconnected the flexible from the basin tap and the flow rate was very good and the water stayed constantly hot; the boiler didn't trip out.

Does anyone now the problems associated with fitting low pressure taps on a high pressure system? I have had a problem with my boiler (Vaillant Turbo Max) tripping out when running a bath. An engineer has been to look at the boiler and after conducting tests has said the boiler is fine the...

I'll change the flexi and take out the filters in the basin tap and see what happens. Many thanks

Yes, there are stainless steel flexbiles on both the basin and the bath. Could this cause a problem? Kind regards Stuart

I have a problem with hot water flow to bathroom taps; but the hot flow to the kitchen taps is good. This has led to the boiler continuously shutting down when the hot tap is on in the bathroom. Initially thought it was a problem with the boiler, however I've had a boiler engineer inspect...

I have a turbo max plus boiler that his giving problems with hot water flow. The water gets hot but than after a minute goes cold for about 20 seconds, then it gets warm again. When looking at the temperature gauge of the boiler you can see that when the water is switched on it goes up to about...
