    ChrisJP replied to the thread Swapping close coupled toilet syphon.
    I think the answer is down to you. If the existing fill valve is working OK there's no need to change it for a new one. But you'll most...

    ChrisJP replied to the thread The TRV fell off.
    So how do you think the sludge you say is in the system got to travel to the outside of it? If sludge had been able to get through the...

    ChrisJP replied to the thread Single Rad half is warm only.
    If it was on the return it wouldn't inject anything so I don't think it would work. Surely, hot water injection into a designer radiator...

    ChrisJP replied to the thread Change from System and tank to Combi.
    That assumes that the delayed HW is solely due to lack of water flow. With a combi boiler and HW on demand, the water flow is limited by...

    ChrisJP reacted to DP's post in the thread Change from System and tank to Combi with Thanks Thanks.
    Regardless of the brand, it is paramount that the boiler gets proper service instead of brand as every boiler is there to do the job...

    ChrisJP replied to the thread Removing a 1970 WC.
