    Megaflow or not ?

    You can only force so much water to move through a pipe. The driving force for any mains pressure hot water system is dynamic pressure and flow rate. Your static pressure is good, but your incoming cold main might be undersized to run 3 showers, most will only run 2. Accumulators are a good way...

    Ferroli optima DHW headscratcher

    LEDs don't always indicate the fault correctly. The boiler needs to know you have opened a hot water tap to fire up. These boilers have a DHW flow sensor. Swapping parts willy nilly on a gas appliance without the correct equipment or knowledge to test it can lead to worse than a lack of hot...

    Gas Cooker Connection - Can It Be Done?

    Sounds to me like you have a capped 1/2 inch wall plate or iron with a plug fitted in it? Or is it a compression stop end? Either way a RG Engineer can add a bayonet fitting, then test that your installation and your cooker are safe to use. It's not just a case of connecting the hose and...

    New Radiator & Taps issue

    Did you check the lockshield at the other side of the rad? Many are supplied in a shut position. What size pipework feeds the rad? If it's small bore, then they can become airlocked on a refill and as you rightly say, turning off the other TRVs will force the air through.

    Salus RT500 issue please help

    If you change the jumpers, don't forget to press the unit reset. It's most likely a standard cross talk problem from another unit in the area as mentioned above. I've fitted dozens and dozens of Salus units professionally, and have never had any problems with them (feline or otherwise) apart...

    Getting Loft Conversion- Conventional boiler to Combi

    Modern washing machines generally don't have a hot feed. Thermal stores and unvented cylinders are mains cold fed. Either should be compatible with your existing boiler and don't require the cold storage tank. As Tony said, you will need to check your incoming mains flow rate.

    Replacing Legrand 498 90 with Salus RT500RF box

    The legrand is just a live switch between your programmer/timeswitch and boiler for CH. It may also be your only interlock on the boiler (wired to and from a thermostat link in the boiler). As you haven't posted details of the rest of your setup, I can't say. The salus receiver unit requires...

    Changing over to a combi in a bungalow.

    Most makes of boiler will give years of trouble free service if carefully and correctly installed. Most 40kw combis will provide around 16 l/min without storage. Unvented cylinders are not hassle free - they require an annual service and safety check and have components which are subject to the...

    moving mains water inlet pipe

    Lead pipe for water is not illegal if correct fittings are used. Water regs do not permit the addition of new lead pipes, but also recommend that it should be removed where possible to minimise exposure to lead in drinking water. Lead oxide coats the pipe on the inside over years of use. The...

    Thermal Store Hot Water Issue

    You probably need a new blending valve. Try winding it fully both ways first and then attempt to set it to give hot water. These valves do fail though from time to time.
