Please can anyone advise? We have a Potterton performa combi-boiler and when we turn the taps on for hot water they will stop giving hot water unless we stand there and keep turning them a bit as they try to turn off. This happens on all of the hot taps in the house. The boiler has recently had 2 diaphrams replaced but it has been doing this even before then. any suggestions please ?
This is not an uncommon phenomena and is caused by the rubber washer expanding as it is heated by the flowing hot water. Even my own taps here do that.
