Why does water trickle out of my tap after turning it off?

Water trickles from the tap after turning it off This can be caused by ‘capillary action’ where any water remaining in the spout is siphoned out. This is a nuisance rather than a product fault. Some products allow an aerator to be fitted which may help reduce the amount of water being siphoned from the product.

Why does my water have an inconsistent temperature?

The cold water can be faulty in several ways: It can snap off entirely at any place or it can be cracked, corroded, or develop holes at any point in his length. When this happens, incoming cold water mixes with hot water and the result is inconsistent temperatures or sometimes entirely lukewarm water.

Why does my hot water cylinder have a dodgy smell?

Hot water that’s discoloured or has a dodgy smell can be the result of the cylinder’s anode rod (which helps to prevent corrosion) and water with a high concentration of sulphates. To resolve this, the cylinder may need to be flushed, have its anode replaced or be completely replaced.

Is there a ” water flow ” warning light on?

The unit has been stable (no “water flow” warning lights) over the last cold spell – last 3 days. I did have the thermostat set on 68. This morning I set thermostat to 69 and within 15 minutes the “water flow” light came on. I have 2 geothermal units in the house.

Why does the no flow light flash on my water skimmer?

Water can be flowing, but if flowing too slowly the light will start to flash. This most commonly happens because the filter is dirty or something is blocking the skimmer and/or pump strainer basket. It can also happen when using a variable speed pump at a speed that is too low.

Why does my no flow light keep flashing?

The cell is looking for a specific minimum flow rate. Water can be flowing, but if flowing too slowly the light will start to flash. This most commonly happens because the filter is dirty or something is blocking the skimmer and/or pump strainer basket. It can also happen when using a variable speed pump at a speed that is too low.

What does the no flow light on TFP mean?

The no-flow light really has nothing to do with the cell directly. There is a flow switch that makes sure water is flowing before the cell will turn on and seeing the no-flow light means that the switch isn’t seeing a flow. It’s either defective or the screen is clogged and not allowing enough water to pass through. Welcome to TFP!!
