Thanks for responses. Just sharing what Glow-worm v helpfully provided: The main differences would be the Energy has a rear entry flue option where the Easicom does not, the Energy has a pump speed setting that can be changed where the Easicom is set to modulating only and finally the warranty...

Hi I’m looking to buy a system boiler and came across two 25kw Glow-worm options on PlumbNation: Easicom 3 and Energy7. The difference is price is more than £350 and wondered if anyone knew why this might be?!

Is that not the point of solar panels?

Hi Mains pressure is 2.4bar. With two taps running full (on first & second floor) it drops to 1.2, and then with third tap opened on ground floor it drops to 0.5bar. Having partly dismantled a stud wall, i now have space under the stairs for a water tank, so now thinking unvented indirect...

Ok ran water test at location of two possible boilers. On first floor, filled 20l/min, while at same time filled 10.5l/min on second floor. I’m thinking this is enough mains pressure to run two combis to produce 10-12l/min at c38-40 degrees? I’ve now exposed gas pipe and it would be 5m from...

Interesting. There's not much difference in cost between two Worcester Bosch 1000 30kw combis and a system boiler plus mid-range unvented 250l cylinder. Two things that i need to properly check/seek advice on: mains pressure and pipe sizing from gas meter to boilers (and gas hob). If i were...

I suspect this is the way to go. I don't know much about these products. Looking at the Megaflow (only brand i've heard of), their slimline version could be accommodated in one of the bathrooms.

Hi I'm developing an HMO rental property which will have 4 tenanted rooms, two bathrooms and a shared dining kitchen over three floors. I'm keen to provide good quality showers in each bathroom and in all likelihood both would operate at the same time (eg mornings). I have limited storage...

On closer inspection I found air pipe actually slots into a cm long sleeve, which is also soft plastic. As this connection is above normal water line I’m going to try superglue and the plastic ratchet clamps (9-10mm size) suggested above. The aquarium shop also a good shout!

Hi I have an issue with a concealed WC, the air tube from the push button to diaphragm(?) pops off on the latter side. If you hold it in place, flush works fine. Normally I’d think some sort of jubilee clip could work but diameter of tube too small. It’s also difficult to get a close look at...

Thanks for the responses. Got a new ceramic cartridge for £7.50 and works a treat. The spout also stopped leaking too so need To dismantle that.

Hi, taken apart now, expecting to see a washer or o-ring I could replace, but nothing obvious?

Thanks, thats v helpful and all makes sense to me.

Hi Can anyone tell me how I can take apart the spout and mixer tap, both are leaking? I’ve managed to remove handle, but that’s it. See pics. Cheers

Supply to camera doorbell is 24v, but this is reduced to 12-15v which the manufacturer confirmed and multimeter shows once existing strike was removed. See pics. All wiring from video monitor to doorbell to strike is 1mm2 two core flex. Phew, got there in the end.
