Hi, I have a borehole with a single 200l pressure vessel. I want to move my pressure vessel so it will be 15m from the transformer (at the moment it is only 2m away). Is it ok to leave the pressure detector at its original position on the pipework or does it have to move with the pressure...

Hi John Thank you for telling me this. I did not know about the oil shut-off as I thought the pump started pumping as soon as the motor was running and turning it through the felxible coupling. I have booked the engineer to sort it out for tomorrow. best wishes Linda

Hi Tibbot, Thanks. I gave the flue a good sniffing yesterday while the boiler was switched on but couldnt smell any oil- I thought this was odd given that the fan was giving a good draught and there was no burning. Linda

I send a giant Thankyou and a big hug for all your help- You have convinced me to call out an engineer- I will let you know how it goes. Best wishes Linda

Hi Tibbot Now that is why I turned it off- because I was worried about it pumping oil into itself. So there is no saftey feature to stop it doing this? Right if its full of oil I will leave it well alone. One small point though- I cant smell any oil... Thanks Linda

Hi John Thank you for pointing me towards Kingston Park! As I have just mentioned to Tibbot Im not sure how the flue is playing up. I also should have mentioned that the seals round the baffle chamber door and where the burner fits into the firebox were replaced 18months ago if that helps. I...

Hi Tibbot, Thankyou. I am not sure as to how the exhast fumes could get back down the snorkle if the flue is good. The flue exits straight from top of boiler through a ground floor north facing wall. There are no buildings or walls or bushes it is flat for at least 30m to right and left and...

If its any help I laid a similar deck and did not put any membrane down. Provided the boards are reasonably close together then it is too dark for plants to grow under the deck. The odd one that grows round the edge is easily delt with. If you are going to plant around the deck then your plants...

Hi Tibbot, Thank you for your fast help. So you think the controll box is wrecked? I am surprised that it is recycled fumes just because it is a balanced flue model and I had an engineer reseal and check the flue 18 months ago. The flexible air hose was also renewed at this service. Do the...

I just thought you would like to know that it was the pump and a new one got the problem sorted! Anyone else stuck with this problem might like to know that when I turned the isolating valves off to get the pump out both of the little devils started dripping. They refused to stop. Then the...

Yes you did read that right the boiler is failing to lock-out. The problem started today. Boiler has run fine all winter. Today although the boiler motor was turning and fan was blowing air through the flue there was no heat. I switched it off and switched it on again. Burner motor running...

Hi John There is absolutely no action going on in my pump. When it was working and I put my hand on it I could feel it running. Im going to check the impeller and I will check for the voltage as well as you suggested. Many many thanks!!

Hi No it has been switched off totally since April. Now I will try and see if I can get the impeller to turn- if not I will buy new pump. Many many thanks for all your help!!!!

A new pump may be required. You can coax it along by removing the chrome screw ( dependent on model ) and turning the impeller with a screwdriver, if it is seized then get your wallet out :) Hi In my excitement armed with a screwdriver I tried to get at the crome screw. It is jammed in...

Do you mean the reset button on the boiler that is tripping out, when you say the central heating pump, do you mean the boiler motor?. If so have you had the boiler serviced lately?. More info required. regards spraggo Hi Spraggo No not the reset button. I meant the boiler thermostat...

Please HELP :( My 12 year old Trianco Eurostar combi 90 oil boiler starts ok but after about 10 mins the thermostat B trips and switches the boiler off. I have just turned the boiler on after its summer rest. There is no hot water. I dont think the central heating pump is running either. Is...
