Bang,bang could be a loose washer in the valve. Tick, tick, could be condensation if your shower cooled the water in the tank below the condensation temperature of the flame. : Two issues -- when I turn on the water to the master bath tub -- after it hasn't been run in a while -- a big CLANG, as if pipe/pipes are suddenly jolted. : Also -- For about five minutes after shower, hot water heater makes a "ticking" or "dinging" sound. : What could be the causes, and what might be done? : Many thanks.
