Mr Motivator Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Why is my tap doing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 That is sooooo funny when you've been trying to drink up the leftover Strongbow from the back of the pantry. 3 months out of date, maybe it's not alright..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george_seamons Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'm not a plumber, so don't take it as gospel, but when our bathroom tap started doing that, dad changed a washer inside it, and it fixed it. Might be worth a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Yoshi Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Has it just started doing this? Or have you moved into a new place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeanuckleJive Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 The toilet cistern at my old workplace used to do this sometimes, it was due to a big air bubble in the pipe somewhere if I remember correctly, It creates a bit of a vacuum so you get the intermittent flow type thing I have no idea how it's solved, try running it full pelt for a while to get the whole system running and purged of air?

Gavyn. Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Just turn up the pressure at the stopcock a little. That should stop it. Don't go nuts though or your get wet when you turn the tap on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong Just turn up the pressure at the stopcock a little. That should stop it. Don't go nuts though or your get wet when you turn the tap on. You cannot 'turn up the pressure' that is a constant, you can only improve flow rate with the stop cock. The chances are its fully open and so would not be the problem as it was not doing this before. Being a plumber myslef i'd say the washer is 'jumping' which basically means it could do with a new washer and reseating the tap, this may not work if the seating is screwed. So given the quality of the tap i'd aadvise you to replace it. My reccomendation being a 'FRANKE' tap. Hope this helps/ Edited June 21, 2010 by mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Motivator Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Cheers for the input guys. It's pretty annoying, mostly it just squeals really loudly and only sometimes does it have bass wobble. @Revolver That vid is fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
