Bit more detail would help...
Type of system, how its heated etc.
Apologies for the lack of info.
The HW is supplied from the HW tank in the hotpress. On top of th cylinder there is a tee piece with one side for the vent and the othe for the HW feed. The cylinder is heated using oil fired burner. Th cylinder is fed from a tank in the attic which is located approx 2 above the Tee piece. I noticed today that after I had a shower I turne on the tap in the kitchen and the water started spitting out.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that there is air getting into th HW feed through the vent pipe. When the HW is on it pulls the level i the vent pipe down and allows air in???
Any suggestions appreciated........Thank

The symptoms you decribe would be due to a partially blocked (or inadequate) supply of water from the attic to the cylinder.
