When the hot water tap is turned on in the bathroom on the third level, you can hear this loud banging noise on the 3rd and 2nd floor.

The bangs start to happen about 10-15 seconds after the hot water tap has been turned on. There is a bang every 3-4 seconds and this banging noise continues for a little while after the tap has been turned off.

This unit was built in 2017 and is just over one year old. This banging noise started from day one.

I have heard from a professional that this noise be related to the pipes expanding and possibly not have enough space to expand.

Questions I have:
Do I have the right to have this noise/ this issue rectified?
Is it legal to install pipes in such a way that they make this horrendous prominent noise?[/color][/size][/font]

I have received no replies to these emails….so I am guessing that a system of governance that stands by telling untruths when someone is nearly killed by a preventable explosion which then blames the innocent and lets the guilty go free is all ok with you? Protecting them selves before the NZ public?

You should all go take a good look at yourselves.

hi guys, yeah very strange, i suppose expansion and contraction could let a drop or two in then seal before arcing but i imagine that the element would slightly `faulty`from new, long shot but.... cheers

corys sell very fine long electrical screw drivers that will do the low flame bypass adjustment, i have 2, one i had to grind down the shaft just to do a single job, think it was a classique  from memory.
 i would not recommend gameco manometers, i have had 4 of them and all failed within 2 years, not water proof, dont leave in the sun as the display disappears, basically rubbish.

When Hastings was first chlorinated heaps of cylinders went there. They found that the chlorine was cleaning out the pipe work and Hot Water Cylinders, which was causing the leaks. The councils network sprung a lot of leaks also, city care were kept busy digging up the roads to carry out the repairs
