Morning, I would appreciate your view on this one. Over the week-end, i connected a shower pump to the fill pipe of my central heating (Salamander CT FORCE2.0Bar), pump feed from the attic water tank. The idea was to run a higher flow through out the system than would normally do with just...

The plumbers were from local companies, all legit with invoice. The plumber disconnected/checked the flow/return flex hoses within the boiler. They were ok. He spent 2 hours my system. I ran him up again, and now quoted €850 to power flush heat exchanger only and fit mag filter.

Thanks for your prompt reply. Is there any example/drawing you could point out to me please? Is it DIY level ?

Morning All, We have a 4-year old Viessmanm Vitodens 100 system boiler, and our CH is under performing. It seems to be a problem of water circulation, return pipe is cold. System has been flushed few times Has been treated with X400 in for 4 weeks. Water Flow/Return to each rad is ok, so no...

+1 @MJN I thought my IR thermometer (Fluke) was rubbish.....until i read the instruction how to set it up and learn how to use it.

No, he didn't. He only used 20mm pipe-compression nut + olive - 22mm valve There are photos in this thread, though may be hard to see the motorised valve connections https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/connect-3-4-bsp-male-cylinder-flange-to-3-4-bsp-male-cylinder-hw-outlet.557158/ Post #14

Morning. As per title, plumber few years ago used 20mm composite pipe (https://www.screwfix.ie/p/purmo-pert-al-pert-press-fit-multi-layer-composite-pipe-20mm-x-50m-white/364hr#product_additional_details_container) to replumb part of the central heating. He fitted a Honeywell 22mm motorised valve...

Morning, I have a Kingspan Ultrasteel Albion 300l. There are several "dry stat pocket" which look like a tube with a flare at the end, no thread. What type of thermostat is normally fitted to these? Thanks

The problem is that it takes a long time for radiators for heat up, and some stay almost cold. The return pipes of all the rads are cold, flows are hot/warm. I checked for blockage on all the rads, and could not find any. Boiler is a Veissmann Vitodens 100. No fault displayed. The hot water...

so my post don't send the wrong advice..... I re-measured the joists. 2 joists are coupled. They are 169mm. The notch is sloped from 56mm to 50ms into the first joist, and 50mm to 44mm into the second. This is to allow for 40mm shower waste pipe.

OP, I did exactly that recently. 40mm pipe work was above joists(6"x2") /boards and now is under. The notches are between 40mm and 60mm, allowing for slope. For piece of mind, i added few 4"* 2" with coach screws. Not sure i was necessary, but i sleep better knowing it's done

I would try to randomize the joints, instead of having then line up in diagonals if you see what i mean. In regards to the door threshold, i would finish the board under the middle of the door tickness minus 5mm or so, depending on the type of door threshold you are going to use. So then door...

Thanks for your inputs so far. Do you suggest using the plugged temperature and pressure relief tapping because it is easier or because it is better? If using the temp & pressure relied outlet, is an inverted loop required ? The pump inlets/outlets are 3/4", so are the new pipes to the...

The plumber & contractor were pushing for us to install solar all along during the renovation work (5 months, back of the house was gutted). Plumber went ahead with this UltraSteel Solar Indirect AUSI300XS while my wife & myself were still debating to go solar or not. Plumber was well aware of...

My latest plan is to do as follow....

Please find few photos of the current installation. Thanks for your help You should have seen the expression on my wife's face when the plumber fitted this big cylinder. Traditional hot press was gone

Yes. A professional plumber installed this huge 300liter cylinder when we renovated part of the house. On the attached photo, the HW outlet is a 3/4" compression. HW outlet then goes to a compression T: - downwards gravity feds the house HW - upwards goes up the attic & loops back and vent...

We are redoing the upstairs bathroom, and the water pressure was just not good enough (just gravity), shower head approx 80cm from bottom of CW tank (in attic). Hence pump just to service the new shower which has a rain shower head. One part of the house (connected to same HW) stays with...
