Hi, new to this forum, but have a problem that I thought I had solved, but would really appreciate some advice!
All cold taps (and the dishwasher and washing machine) are fed by mains cold water, which is extremely loud when being used. We have changed taps, which are now single lever in the cloakroom, bathroom and ensuite and I've read that Grohe do a tap that is specifically for high water pressure so before I go and spend a fortune, I would like to know your views.
I did look at some of the posts, and have tried a numebr of things - turning the isolator down only made the noise worse, checked the stopcock under the kitchen sink is on full, however, I did go outside and have turned the external stop tap right down and, hey presto, the noise has gone. The pressure is rubbish now, and you cannot flush a toilet and then run a tap at the same time, but it is silent - is there something else I can do? Will the new taps really make a difference and allow me to turn up the pressure outside? Should Anglian Water come and look at the pressure - the stop tap doesn't turn off completely, so I'm guessing it should? Maybe I will have to get new taps and just try and get the pressure right before it gets noisy?
