Domestic hot water flow problem
When we turn on hot water tap first thing in morning, or shower, water
flows for about minute, stops or slows right down, then after few minutes begins to flow again, but often need to turn tap/shower full on before get hot water, then comes out at a rush. When happens with shower the shower cable and head violently shake as water gushes out where moments before there was a trickle. Now we find the shower is constantly dripping. What need do...are these problems connected? Hot water and heating through Worcester Bosch combie boiler. |

A bit more info is required: Please describe the behaviour of the kitchen sink tap in the morning. Do you still have any storage cisterns still in use even though you have a combi boiler? -- Ed Sirett - Property maintainer and registered gas fitter.

Water starts as tepid and becomes hot without any gurgling or shaking. We don't have any storage cisterns, no hot or cold. R. |
