My new house is having issues with what I believe is from a crossed water line or the well pump/tank. If I am posting this in the wrong section I apologize.
I thought the issue was because of the 30 year old electric tank water heater so I replaced it with propane tankless on demand and the problem is still happening.
Each time any shower or sink is on and the water is nice and hot, at a certain point it will go cold for 30 seconds or so.
Today I tested it and saw that when the pressure tank is low and kicks the pump on, that is when the cold water starts and it stays cold until the pressure tank reaches max pressure turns off the pump and then the whole thing repeats.
I know this could be one of many things. I have had multiple plumbers out here and none of them want to help me find the source. It is probably a crossed pipe somewhere but the house is old and huge and I don't know how to figure it out on my own.
Would a cycle stop valve before my tank be a bandaid for this? I am hoping to renovate the house over the years and replace all the plumbing at some point but for now I really just want a steady and hot shower.
Thanks!
