The pipe to the right of the picture right of the hot water cylinder is currently the vent pipe, the pipe that continues above the pump terminates just above with a bleeding valve on it to get the air out. I really appreciate your help

Regarding the vent is currently on the opposite side of the airing cupboard, would this need to be cut as close to the floor as possible and reconnected below the pump? When you mention the pump needs to be above

Regarding the vent it is currently on the opposite side of the airing cupboard, would this need to be cut as close to the floor as possible and reconnected below the pump? When you mention the pump, do you suggest moving it higher to allow the vent and cold water feed to be connected? Cap off...

Looks like I’m going to have to get a plumber in on this one.

So basically move the 22mm vent pipe and 15mm cold water pipe to the 22mm pipe below the pump?

What would the correct settings be for the pump fitted Grundfus ups3 ?

Central heating has been running a week since I removed the blockage I’d identified on the return from the hot water cylinder return. Since doing this, central heating is never been so good, however when the hot water side is either working on it’s own or along with the central heating...

T piece cut out, this area was quite blocked, replaced T piece and surrounding pipe. Heating slightly better possibly sludge further down the 15mm pipe, although this can get quite hot which would suggest hot water is coming up this pipe as apposed to coming out the bottom of the hot water tank...

I’ve just ran a magnet over the 15mm copper pipe and right on the T piece the magnet senses metal within an inch of that joint suggesting that may be where the blockage is?

The more I think about it the more I think it’s a blocked cold water return, especially on the return from the hot water pipe,(hardly any water flowing through the hot water tank heating element which has resulted in a limited amount of hot water in the tank although the pipe is hot going into...

When you talk about the ‘H’ setup of pipe work is this what was done to my father in law’s pipe work? Thanks for your advice

When I mentioned my father in law had very similar problems in my initial post, the engineer from British Gas who came was unable to sort the problem other than fitting them a new boiler which they probably didn’t need. However his supervisor came along said it was piped up wrong similarly to...

X800 drained and replaced with inhibitor

If you take a look at the photo attached and the rough sketch of the layout I have. The filter is only on the central heating side of the system this was down to available space. The vent for the system is on the opposite side of the hot water tank

Hi Terry, when the pump was changed the wiring was disconnected and connected at the pump end, control centre not opened. When I say the 3 port valve seems fine is because; select hot water only valve moves to the correct position, select central heating only and valve moves to the correct...
