I had an ongoing issue with the main shower (over bath) where the water didn't heat properly, but found tha it helped to run the bath cold tap when shower is on as then it's hotter.
Since then the shower seemed to 'run dry ' towards the end of its runand the hot water came out for a bit when it started making noises - like revving ir trying to suck in water from the supply pipe but it wasn't coming, at which point I always turned it off. Sorry but not easy to decsribe very clearly.
Today for the 1st time, this started affecting the bath taps. When I open either hot or cold bath tap and let the water run for a few seconds / a minute, then close the tap, that revving noise (intermitten, frequent) goes on. Agagin it's as if a pump or whatever tries to get filled with water but instead the air is coming. If I run gthe tap for a bit again, it eventually stops revving. It's revving not when the tap is running but straight after.
I'm worried it's some sort of airblock in the pipes. I thought it was the shower valve (had a thread about it) or the pump but why would it be conneted to bath taps?! Really worried it's something serious with supply from hot water tank or the pipes.
