Hi all, have a bit of a problem with our hot water. Last night I had a shower which runs off the mains water. During the shower the water stopped flowing. Turned off shower got out and tried the hot water tap in the sink no water flowing from it either but when I changed over to the cold tap water flows fine.
Thinking I've an airlock the next morning I went down to the kitchen to our mixer tap and opened up the hot water and put my hand over the opening to block any water coming out and turned on the cold water tap.
After a minute or so or when I couldn't hold the water back anymore i stopped. Turned back on the hot water and water started to flow but after about one minute or so it just stopped again.
Any ideas what is wrong here?? Is it possible to use up all your hot water while having a shower? I would have thought that it would just turn cold but not stop flowing??
As you can tell I'm not very clued up on the plumbing end of things.
Thanks in advance of your help.
