Hey hey.

Just been talking to a customer where we are fitting a bathroom. He explained that he has been having trouble with his water and wondered if we knew what the cause may be.

When he draws water from either a hot or cold tap anywhere in his house, the water is aereated (have i spelt that right :))!!

He has a combi boiler and thats it. The water board have said that this MUST be an internal problem in the property. If this is effecting both his hot and cold water supply, is this likely to be an issue prior to reaching the combi etc???

We wont be having anything to do with fixing this problem etc but for my own curiosity and learning, it would be great if someone with experience can advise me on possible causes.

can it be leak related? combi boiler related etc?

cheers in advance

In my experience you normally experience this with high pressures. I get it occasionally when I turn a tap on first thing in the morning when the mains pressure is higher.

I have attached an image of the brass body within a tap. Having replaced a cartridge which has cured a leaking tap, I can see that there is a small leak from the brass body which can be unscrewed. Is there a seal behind the body? Thanks.
