Hot Water System

Hot Water System FAQ:


The amount of water coming from the hot taps is less than a 3rd it’s normal quantity. I cannot work out what is wrong with the plumming/gas central heating system in my house. All I know is that the problem seemed to happen after I left one of the hot taps running for a very long time. We have a water tank upstairs but nothing seems wrong. Someone mentioned to me that it could be something wrong with a pump. Could this be the problem. Where would the pump be?

Anyone know why this is happening?

Hot Water System FAQ:


The heating in my apartment is controlled by a central thermostat that also controls heat to the other apartments. The others seem to be fine but I am getting no heat in my place. The radiators heat up for a short while sometimes and then go cold, there is some hissing sound as well in one and a knocking sound in another. I have also noticed that when I shower the water in the bathroom goes cold all of a sudden and when I turn down the cold water it gets warm again. I have spoken to my landlord about this and hopefully the heating system will be fixed but I am wondering what is going on? Could the heating and hot water be related?

The system was installed in China and is combined with the hot water supply system throughout the house. The house is +/- 3500 sq ft and I would also like to know what kind of gas consumption I am to expect.
