    pump has stopped working

    With respect you should not be contemplating a new pump which could cost you £400-£500 because of a failed PCB. Stuart Turner Monsoon pumps - the ones made in Henley - should last for many years. You only use a shower pump intermittently. Years ago I had a Stuart Turner 'Showermate' pump...

    pump has stopped working

    I have the exact same pump as the original poster. Stuart Turner Monsoon N1.5 twin. Last Saturday night we had an extended power cut thanks to Southern Electric PD. On Sunday morning went to have a shower and the pump would not work. Checked fuse and it was fine. You can check if the pump...

    Where to get rad - what makes?

    Cost of replacing old fashioned valves for themostatic

    They were Drayton and Danfoss. Yes, you are correct sludge and rubbish in the system can make them stick and be problematic. I accept that this is not the fault of the valve. I don't know why you are so interested in my location. But if you are interested, my post code is RG8 7SB, which is a...

    Cost of replacing old fashioned valves for themostatic

    Sorry for late reply on this topic. I appreciate that you have to change your valves because they are leaking. But in my opinion replacing them with TRV might not be the most reliable on a long term basis. In my experience TRV's can be unreliable in service - either sticking open or...

    Glow Worm 80F - thermal cut off tripping

    I am sorry Tony but I don't think perhaps I fully explained the history. I have taken the following advice using proper firms I have used before. First the fan. Called an establisheed firm which I have used before and previously paid over £2.8k for a boiler for a rental property. When he...
