Hi firstly sorry for my lack of knowledge but we are close to pulling our hair out we had a new system put in the loft 2 years ago when we flush the loo and run the tapes it's vibrates turning on the tap helps stop it but only temporarily it has a pressure thing on the water coming in also checked that the pressure has not dropped and it hasn't

Any help would be much help appreciated
 
could you post some pics up of the install if you could?
 
Have you lived with for 2yrs or is it a new thing, If new has there been any recent plumbing work carried out?
 
I would check the filling valve in the toilet first. Common for the rubber diaphragm washer to vibrate as they get old.
 
No new toilets. system was fitted with a valve that should not have been there causing it to leak but no vibration then there was a pressure meter regulator put on the mains and pressure was shocking it got turned up to 3.5 Barr which is what the tank it regulated at but in the last 3 months vibration has got worse
 
Can you manage to post some photos of the unit and pipework with valves attached?
You might have to get a G3 qualified plumber to have a look and perhaps service the unit (supposed to be done once a year anyhow). Don't let a non qualified person do anything to the unit, or its pipes and controls.
 
I would still be looking at a filler somewhere most likely a toilet where the filler isn't designed to deal with pressure
 
Some photos would help as some of the things your saying don't make sense, What is in your loft ? are you sure you have a pressurised Hot water system or have you got a Combi Boiler But need photos of what you have.
