Hi,
If the mixer taps are on anything less than full flow, then there is a horrendous noise of the water rushing through the pipes.
We have a vaillant ecotec combi and this also affects the rattling of the aqua sensor.
There is a restrictor valve entering the house which is a bit old, and obviously is there to restrict the mains flow on our shared water supply.
The pipe is 15mm feeding the boiler and has a 2 m run up from the feed on the ground floor to the combi on the first.
Should the water be on 22mm pipe?
The pipes which feed the bathroom are all 15mm as well except for the bath which branches into 22mm somewhere!
There are many bends, and there is a seperate tap for turning off the cold supply to the downstairs bathroom from the same feed as the combi.
There is a problem of water hammer as well but I think this is caused by the pipes being loose.
Anysuggestions? I'm think that we need a total replumb. I had the combi put in 6 months ago as i was sick of the sound of water rushing from the upstairs tank. Now I have the opposite!
