Thanks for the reply. The boiler is fairly old and the system was recently drained and refilled due to radiator valve replacement it was flushed using just the mains water. There was no black sludge in the water and it was clean initially. Is there a good product to flush out the boiler?

I have a Ferroli Falcon combi boiler that is again causing a problem. It is heating up ok and the water is heating constantly now. However the water is very hot when initially is turned on (with the heating on) then goes cold before the boiler ignites and heats the water ok. When the water is...

Thanks for all the advice. I have changed the thermisters and it did not fix it. These have been changed a few years ago as well. The pressure switch was blocked with black sediment which i have cleaned out but again it did not fix it. BTW i am a mechanical design engineer who has worked for BAe...

My boiler fires up and gives hot water for a while then cycles hot and cold (the boiler fires up intermittently). The CH fires up the boiler but it switches on/off every 5 seconds or so. Does anyone know the cause and the solution?

Thanks for the answer. Have you seen a similar system actually being used? I don't want to fit them and find I have a problem. I have been told elsewhere that it is not normally done and in places that have lots of loos like shops that they have something like a non return valve. Have you come...

Hi I am trying to fit an extra toilet in an en suite whilst doing the bathroom as well! The problem I seem to have, is the soil pipe is internal and the existing loo just has a 90 deg bend into it, I am thinking of putting a 110mm pipe from the soil with a Tee to the first loo and then on to...
