The first engineer was quite good in that respect. He mentioned filters but said he wouldn't recommened putting one on an old system only when the bolier was replaced - though perhaps he was building up for the biggy!
I contacted a local engineer who quoted me for replacing the EV. I suggested...
The different engineers I've had round have all seemed similar; but this is the first time I've had a customer services department who don't understand their contractual obligations and are seemingly programmed to robotically sell unnecessary and expensive add-ons.
I have had this for a number of years. I probably don't need it but I've got it.
I change every year or haggle about the price as year two invariably doesn't include a free service.
This year I went with EDF. The advertise the first thing they will do is contact you and arrange an inspection...
Is there a recommended time interval that this needs doing? The system was flushed on installation (to get the "chunks out") but nothing since then - 2008.
I runs okay with only a very slight temp differential between the top and bottom of some rads - very hot vs hot.
My water (pardon the...
How high should I let my compressor go to get the Boiler gauge to 0bar. I was going by 0.8bar as per some instructions on here but does it need more to throw the waetr out?
I had another go at re-pressurising the EV with the system stop cock open and got it up to 0.8bar. I closed the system stop cock and took my air compressor off. I noticed that the pressure guage on the boiler (which had started a 0) was showing about 0.6bar before I added any water through the...
Yes I have those everywhere - does it just inhibit the flow into the rad or is it fancier than that - can open/close dependent on temp? I've read somewhere they might not completely close the rad off.
I'm not sure where I am with that at the moment. When I re-pressurised I didn't have the stop cock open so might not have driven all the water out of the EV. It's lost a bit of pressure (gone from 1 to 0.5 bar when idle) over 10 days; but it no longer gets into the high red zone, though it's not...
It's got a valve with settings on (is that a TRV?). I'm trying to sort Expansion Vessel issues and if I can get the water pressure fixed I'll add more inhibitor - it's been re-pressurised a few times so the inhibitor's probably a little diluted now.
