Question: 'Water hammer' problems. Can anybody elaborate on the 'Noisy Pipes' problem, other than advising a 'fitting or some such' thing? I would preferably like to be able to retain some form of dignity in the local plumbers merchants. Yours, Mark Lane, Blackburn -- Mark Lane Great Britain. mark.lane@optimacs.com
Answer: Water Hammer. Having read one of your tips on preventing water hammer of which the cause is usually a worn ball valve in cold water storage tank, the resultant hammering is caused by unsupported pipe work (cold feed) next to the storage tank. Usually the plumber can’t be bothered to do the job properly but a couple of 15mm pipe clips attached to suitable battens placed near the tank will stop the hammer. Additionally a new ball valve assembly, make sure the rising main to tank is turned off first before changing ball valve. Regards peter wells13@ntlnspworld.com 29 Oct 2005
Question: My iron. I have used plain tap water in my iron and I am afraid I have ruined it because of mineral build up. What can I use to clean my iron. I thought of pouring vinegar and letting it set over night. So if you have any suggestions I would really appreciate it. Thank you -- Mark Rodriguez ollucky@swbell.net
Answer: If you use de-mineralized or distilled water it will gradually remove the limescale. Lemon juice or vinegar should help to remove the build-up. Good luck -- Essie essie2000@linkmail.com
