Got a 15mm main rising from the bedroom floor on the first floor straight up to the cold tank in the loft. Its frickin noisy whenever the tank is filling, especially with the shower in the morning. Its currently exposed, covered in grey pipe lagging, in a cupboard. 2 year old reckons its rubbish.
I don't really want to reduce the pressure as its only a small tank and if you run a bath - big taps and bath - the tank will generally empty as it refills the immersion heater below, which will only happen sooner if the pressure (flow?) is reduced at the stop cock.. air in pipes ... blah blah blah!
Is there anything I can do other than box that pipe in? Replace it with a length of plastic pipe or a wider bore? Would that help?
Cheers!
