Yes it would!! I have changed the NRV for a straight coupler and hey presto full flow! Thanks again for all your wisdom and advise it has saved me a fortune. (And I have learnt a lot about my plumbing) Here is the valve in question for anyone interested.

Ok thanks james I'll try that. Will have to go buy a bigger spanner then! I'm pretty convinced (for what my opinion is worth) that it is not the shower control as I could not get good flow through the hot pipe even when I connected the hot outlet to the cold outlet from the pump. Would the...

Yes it only serves the shower and the header tank is two floors up.

It is a salamander ct50 twin.

Ah ok, so how can I test the check valve?

Hi james, Thanks again for your reply. I don't think it is a valve, seems to be a bleed nipple. When I open it water squirts everywhere.

First of all thank you for your help so far, I love forums like this. So I have been tinkering. I have checked the pump filters and they were clean. I have removed the cartridge from the shower mixer, cleaned it and replaced. Now that the cartridge is back on the temp dial ( which has...

I found a manual: http://www.bathstore.com/uploads/files/store/products/1423/p18ocgeosk2u2sgv1mg6pgnj403.pdf And lots of good helpful videos on YouTube about replacing the cartridge.

Great, that is something I can do! Thanks, Neil

Hi squeaky, The shower will 'sort of' run with the pump switched off, it has to be throttled back to only a dribble to be anything other than freezing cold though. I will have a look at the filters tomorrow and remove /refit the flex hoses while I'm at it. The hot water is working fine...

Any and all help / advice would be great. Please help.

Hello I hope someone out there can help me. My power shower has started playing up, the pipes either bang loudly or no hot water comes through at all. Could this be a airlock and how can I fix it if it is? Here is the pump and hot water tank: The shower mixer: We have a...

Hi guys, Thanks for your advice, I did it today, works great. I got a £24 timer unit from Screwfix and BINGO!! Thanks again, Neil

Hello there, A few years ago we had central heating installed on a budget. We have a combi boiler (Biasi M90E 28S) at the moment it does not have an external control and I'd like to fit one so I don't have to go down into the cellar to turn the heating on. I have downloaded the...
