Are there different types of the conventional ball valves?
The reason I ask, is that I recently replaced the ball valve for my parent's cold water tank. I put in a conventional ball valve.
Now, whenever the tank is filling, you can hear a loud noise at the kitchen tap and below the cold tank (where the cold water main obviously runs up the wall). It's as though you can hear the water noise, but amplified.
They never had this before.
I've swapped the little white nozzle inside the mechanism to make sure it's for high pressure (which is was anyway!) and this has made no difference.
Any ideas what I can do to fix this problem?
