Unless the gas fitter lives to the left of you and the merchant selling the fan lives to the right, the fitter will be spending time ringing round merchants to find one that’s got the fan in stock, then doing a return trip to purchase it. You feel that he shouldn’t be charging for any of this...

Thanks Soooey. basin mixer's a better bet! or if its pillar taps and you've no wet vac, get your lips around the spout and suck the water through, or gaffer tap a bit of hose pipe to spout and suck.

Bath mixers been removed along with the bath & supply pipework capped. Perhaps kitchen mixer's a better bet.

You'll find here's no washer to change. Get your landlord's plumber out to replace it. Or work out the make & model and try manufacturer's spares for new valve. If you are the tenant I'd do former.

After 23 pages a recap of the best bits is worth while.. No & no. No No Your wavering, though nice for BonkersBill to know you've ruled out the only other possibility: operator error. No Everyone wasn’t forgetting but then how would you know? given you claim … Are you sure?! No. Re-read the OP...

I'm assuming the shower is on the same floor or lower, than the cylinder. Trace the cold feed to the pump all the way back to the cold water cistern supplying it (or where it tees into another pipe). The pump should have a dedicated cold feed from the cistern ie. no tees on the pipework. It...

Remove the basin pump and it should show you why the pump was fitted in the first place eg.: Poor gravity HW flow on its own and trying to get a satisfactory HW CW mix is exacting. In most mixing positions the higher pressure cold will just be felt coming out the spout, meanwhile the HW is...

The hot water (HW) pipework from the cylinder is only suitable for supplying one pump. In a fight the shower pumps got more pull than the basin pump. When the shower pumps running and you then run the basin HW, the shower pump pulls the HW from the pipework supplying the basin pump so it runs...

Clearly explained. It will be down to where the pump installers have tee'd into the hot water supply pipework. Take some photos of where the pipework for the HW for the 2 pumps are tee'd from. Should be around the vicinity of the hot water cylinder, but the given you've got problems with the...

Bonkersbill, On the 3 programmer settings you get the following results: 1.CH & HW. All appears to work fine (ie. HW in cylinder & rads warm up to temperature), until cylinder stat is satisfied. Then, the 3PV moves across to CH only and ~ 30secs later boiler overheats and the boiler stat...

I think the cable knots are there instead of screws to hold the box in place, although they probably also hold up the chandelier in the room below too. Camel hump and apparent downward slope in the DHW feed from cylinder are the answers to any future 'airlocks' posting. Luckily there's a...

Bonkersbill, to confirm, one of these two 28mm pipes from the boiler has a couple of pipes tee'd off it (22mm vent and 15mm cold feed both running up to a cistern in the loft ). Next along fitted on the 28mm is the pump, then finally the 28mm goes into the AB port on the 'base' of the 3 port...

What size float would you typicallly use on a 3/4" HP equilibrium valve? would you just start off with a 4.5" and work upwards?

I'm looking for advice and ideas on how to run the vent for a pair of HW cylinders on an indirect open vented system. The vent pipe from a pair of cylinders first has a run of 10 meters horizontal rising only 0.25m, before heading vertically 7m to the HW cistern. The HW is on secondary...

:(

Who fitted the shower? was it a replacement? Think there's a years warantee with Mira stuff assuming its been fitted and commisioned correctly. Will it stop cycling on a lower heat setting, or a higher flow rate? Hard water area?

Elleston tank?? is that a make of indirect cylinder? cold water cistern? the one after Sherman? As mrgas suggests read and follow the pump fitting instructions. Triton's very clear on the set up their pumps need. What made you choose to site the pump where you did? What make & model of...
