I'm almost certain the back pressure is the problem. After doing a bit more research I have a hissing tap and no non return valves fitted on the mixers. Is the hissing tap the faulty mixer or could that just be a symptom?

Thanks John, ive attached more pics. Whats reqlly strabge is the thermostat on the hw was turned down. I turned it up and put the hot water heater on but nothing leaking. Its almost random.the incoming water to the property is at the kitchen with little to no.space to fit a prv. What are my...
There's a valve on the drain which is odd but it's open so no issues.
Could the problems be caused by an unbalanced supply? Mains pressure is 7-7.5bar, no other prv fitted on incoming mains. If that is an issur how can the system be balanced? Is this done via the inlet valve?
Long story short I've had issues with the hot water tank leaking either from the tundish, from the fittings or now from the element. It's 8 years old, both the prv and t&p have been replaced, expansion vessel tested and repressurised but the problems won't go away. After both hot and cold water...
It's only 6-7 years old in a soft water area. Yes it's been maintained.
The alternative is knocking down walls and £1000+ for a new cylinder plus install
It's a william wilson 250ltr tank which I believe comes with a 25 year no leak warranty. Anyone any experience with this?
Hi,

After a bit of investigation I saw water staining coming from the boiler controls. Im guessing this isnt good. Is this a new tank or can the immersion be reseated? As theres water at the top of the cover im guessing its steam escaping...
Cheers madrab. That's what I thought. Will see if I can do the cup / fire test. Water looks clean but it's only what comes out of the bleed valve. System is only 5 years old.
Can I just add inhibitor or should I get the system flushed?
Hi All,
I'm aware this has been discussed a lot previously but couldn't find anything exact.
I have a closed loop central heating system. 2 radiators upstairs, one towel and one standard, fill with air frequently. By frequently I mean I have to take the air out once a week. If I leave it for a...
Hi, I know this has been asked before but just wanted to sanity check this. The plaster cracked above the stove so peeled back and the board us just brittle. Is that because it's just standard plaster board?
what's the best way to repair this so it won't crack again?
Thanks
