Hello,
I'm going to install an integrated Dishwasher for a friend. I need to do as cheaply as possible. She already has a Washing Machine plumbed into the Cold feed and u-bend under the sink. I wanted to double this up to serve the dishwasher.
I've found a double inlet adapter so thats all...
Bingo!! Good thinking, Thanks for that
45yearsagasman. I have done what you said to do with a magnet and there was no more attraction in that part of the piping than anywhere else. Do you have anything else to try?
Thank you
That suggests that the water level is higher than before you drained it. Not sure how that can be unless you've moved the tank or changed the ball cock.
Can you elaborate on how the tank being fuller could cause it. I'm not taking the p*£%, I'm just new to the DIY scene.
Thanks for your response.
I see what you mean, if the pump draws equally from the boiler feed/vent 'T' then I see how the water/air in the vent would be sucked in (Least resistance etc)
I've been to Wickes & B&Q and neither sell Magnets, unless I want a kitchen. Also the pipes concerned...
Hello, I believe my central heating is sucking air in through the vent pipe. I am having to bleed 2 or 3 of my rads almost every week. Yesterday I decided to trace the source of the leak.
Each time the pump kicks in there is a rush of air that fizzes through it after a few seconds. Up in the...
Cheers Mate,
I have turned off the HW and all but one rad. I was told that if there was any air in the system then this would flush it out. It was the furthest one that I left on then worked backwards. When downstairs were all on they were piping hot but when I turned the upstairs back on...
I'm no expert but have you checked the fuse? Swap it with a known working one and see what happens
I had the same problem last year and it was the fuse
I did read somwhere that I could try to turn it with a flathead screwdriver but I only have a bolt shaped blanking plate in the centre.
What would you recommend I do to test it?
If I put my hand on the pump it vibrates like something inside it is off centre, when I slow it, it vibrates more slowley.
Sorry, I've just realised how stupid that sounds out loud. :oops:
Is it likely to be the pump then?
Thanks for your reply,
The pump is very hot, too hot to hold your hand on.
The pipe to the cylinder is very slightly hotter but really not a lot
When I bled the rads in the summer the water was clear.
Sentinel x100 inhibitor is in it
Up intill about a month ago they were all red...
Hello, please help.
I'll cut to the chase...
My boiler keeps cutting out too early, it lights for around 20 seconds then drops out. My upstairs rads are hot but my downstairs aren't.
My hot water is piping hot though.
