Hi,

It could be faulty cartridge the shower will most likely have a guarantee if its newly fitted. They should replace this if it is the case.

Darren · Answer

The presented problem ( Noise whilst showering with blended water) could be due to a raft of possible causes. I have listed these below :

1. Faulty mixer cartridge
2. Unequal pressures between hot and cold supplies
3. Partially blocked hot water supply pipe or filter if fitted.
4. Absence of expansion vessel on cold water pipe ( Required on high-pressure systems such as from a Combi, when a water meter is installed)

Mark · Answer

Cartridge could be faulty (thermostat ) or the check valve may be sticking ( non return valve ) also check the filters

Nok · Answer

Excessively high or low water pressure can cause your shower to emit a high-pitched noise. High pressure

Hi, If you have a shower pump, it should bleed or pump service

Rebuar · Answer

The both pipes cold and hot should be clipped to the wall and no dead end pipe should be more than 5cm ! Otherwise will create a noise and hammer sound

Simon · Answer

Hi there, there’s a couple of reasons that this may be happening. Manufacture fault with the ceramic valves. Debris in the pipe line, it’s quite common for installers failing to clean the line before installing. Uncliped pipe work causing vibration

Stewart · Answer

If your pipesare not clipped n well your pipes could be knocking until they are clipped correctly

Assuming it isn’t on a pump? Maybe it’s insufficient clipping of pipes
