Hi Forum,
My megaflo (unvented mains pressure water heater) produces seriously noisy "bangs" about 3-5 times a day. Obvioulsy some kind of pressure problem but that's just my guess.
It's been doing this for some 1.5 years now (was installed 3 years ago and worked without noise for the first 1.5yrs) but the bangs do not seem to be following any obvious patterns.
Anyway, none of the (very expensive) plumbers I consulted in the past seemed to be able to suggest either cause or solution.
Something is clearly very wrong but the hot water continues to work and has sufficient pressure. there is occasional modest discharge from the discharge pipe.
The bangs appear to be getting even louder and we've had some at pretty unorthodox times lately (middle of the night, no water used anywhere in the house around the time).
I obviously need to get a decent plumber but so far haven't found one with sufficient experience in these systems and any confidence in their ability to fix it. Heatrae Sadia incidentally not very helpful with locating recommended plumbers for their systems.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
