interesting, ok done :)

just ran up and had a look and tried to turn the red wheel next to the cylinder, its fully open, the more I look at the pump the more it looks like something from 1920 but its doesn't make any strange noises (touch wood) and clearly it pumps the water round to all the rads as they are all hot...

oh nice :? anything I can do or just leave it?

I guess 3 being the fastest? on another note, some of my copper pipes have a greeny blue stuff on them what is that? :?

Hello Just a quick question, I have the above pump for my heating and hot water, when the water and central heating are on together the radiators dont heat up as quick, I'm guessing this is normal as the pump is distributing the water to the cylinder and the rads? when they are on seperately...

Thanks for that but what does "header tank for your heating" mean? :oops:

Hello, I have 2 water tanks in my loft, one large and one small, can someone tell me what they are both for? I'm guessing the big one fills up the hot water tank in the airing cupboard but not sure what the small one is for??? :?

Thats really interesting, Thank you :)

sorry yes I mean emulsion, thanks for the advice I'll try that, be nice not to see the stain anymore any ideas why its come back? thought a couple of coats would do the trick :?

Hello, I moved into my house about 11 months ago, there was a yellowish patch on the ceiling around the chimney breast in the bedroom which clearly had a leak at somepoint, looks like this was repaired (as it was not wet) so I painted over it (white paint) about 9 months ago but the stain...
