Pump should not be mounted under bath

if clean water comes out its ok but if you think you need it doing again call a tradesman and have it power flushed

the bath should be screwed to the wall with L shape brackets (facing above the bath) then the tiles should go over the brackets. so remove all tiles then fit the brackets then re-tile then sealant,, job done,, no gap, PS its not worth having a cowboy do it cheap

i agree with gasaid or plumbed in wrong

the mcalpine book says 130mm depth do you know they are solvent weld?

have you got service valves before the pump? are they fully open?

the soil pipe should be vented outside it is unlikely the damp is from this pipe if the water level had got any where near this the toilet ,bath, sink would have flooded

Taping to another radiator dose not always work as its not in the circuit it is spurred off water like air will take the easyest path and coming of another rad with t's is not the best way as the water will by pass the new pipe work at best this will only be lukewarm

has it been taped in just below one rad? or taped in to the flow and return pipes? has it just had T joints put in if so it is not in the circuit it is like a spur and is installed wrong.. I'm in west yorkshire if you need me to check it out go on to my profile and you can email me

who put them in? I have seen D I Y'ers tap in to one pipe only for extra rads if this has been done they will be trying to run them from the return, also 10mm pipe should not be used for long sections as heat loss is rapped from 10mm, if you are not sure email me

the electric would need to be on a spur not from a light the electric needs putting in by someone that has part P as its notifiable, or Why not put an electric shower in?

non barriered pipe is not advisable for heating as you should know the air is in the water when its heated up and pumped round the system the air and other gases separates from the water and rots the rads this is basic chemistry

make sure the surface is flat then use a rubber washer on them, the service needs new ptfe round the olive and tighten back up

whats this crap about mice thats not the question
