Hi all,
New house, first week, got some strange plumbing noises.
First off, I seem to get very high pressure, stop tap only open 3/4 turn, any more than that and I get heavy knocking when I turn off the cold tap.
Second, when I turn off the cold tap it sounds as if the pipework is recharging. Hard to explain the sound but its as if the water still flows for a second after the tap is off. It sounds as if its repressurising / recharging the pipework.
There is no aeration as a glass of water is perfectly clear (no cloudiness).
Anyone got any ideas? Its a mains pressure fed kitchen and bathroom with an economy 7 type hot water cyl (the one with the integrated header/refill tank).
