Discuss Thermoststic Shower - Hot Water Pipes Bang in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net

Hi folks I have a problem.
Our shower is a Triton thermoststic run from an Alpha combi boiler.
The pipes began making a noise when the hot water was turned on (any tap) and we realised if the shower thermostat was turned to coldest setting this resolved the noise.
But .... now the hot taps (any) are running warm unless the shower thermostat is turned up - then they run hot - but are noisy! ;)
Any suggestions?
(heating is fine)
 
First place I'd look would be the non-return valves in or for the shower. Could well be caused by cold overcoming the hot via a stuck / failed valve. If its a bar type mixer, turn off hot and cold, remove shower from wall to reveal non-return valves / filters in wall outlets / shower inlets.

Hello, I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
