Hey all! Haven't been on here in quite a while. I've completed all my plumbing projects for the entire hourse, but now this issue popped up.
All of a sudden, the water pressure when opening a faucet is significantly higher than usual. it returns to normal pressure within about 5-10seconds of running the faucet. I think its on the cold side more than the hot side, but haven't tested fully.
We we first moved into the house 4years ago, I noticed this as well. But, it spontaneously resolved.
I don't know if this will help, but this is how the system runs.
My main line comes into the house, runs over and tee's into the gas hot water heater, then tee's again to my gas boiler, then on for regular household water.
On its way to the boiler it goes through a green device that almost reminds me of the valves that open via thermostat control for the heat, but there are no wires on it. This might be a flow control valve?
after that, it tees off to the boiler and to what I presume is an expansion tank.
What should I be looking for here?
Thanks, Quinn
