Hi there,
I've been living in a property for over 2 years which has a very noisy cold water storage tap.
Flushing the loo, running the cold or hot taps upstairs will produce a loud rumbling, and hissing noise as the water tank fills that can last around 5 minutes.
I've confirmed that it is the water tank by having my better half run the taps/toilet whilst I’ve observed the tank. Manually raising the ball float instantly stops the noise.
We currently have a Part 1 valve installed, which I am assuming is the original one supplied with the property. The tank does not overflow and is otherwise working correctly.
However I would like to shut the thing up!
Should I replace the Part 1 valve with a part 2, or should I use a side entry plastic float such as the fluidmaster floats to quiet the system?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
