Hi, my problem is similar to others on here but not identical so I would like to describe exactly what happens. Hopefully someone can help.
I have just bought a flat (approx 5y old). There are no radiators, the hot water tank just supplies the taps. It is not a gas bolier, just a hot water tank heated by 2 immersion heaters.
When I run hot water, after 10 secs or so I hear a really loud noise. It sounds like a fog horn coming from somewhere near the tank but I can't identify exactly where.
I think it is related to the water re-filling the tank as it does not start immediately and continues for some time after I stop running the water.
I am not sure if this is related, but if i run the hot water for a long time (fill a bath), I get the loud noise and then the flow rate slows right down. It seems like it takes a few days to recover the normal flow rate.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks
