I thought as much but thought I’d ask the experts.

Hi Folks Anyone know if a circulating pump can be put on the primary flow or return circuit to improve the flow. The pipes come out of the stove, rise a few inches before dropping a foot, then pass through the chimney breast before rising to the first floor invented cylinder. I’m aware this is...

Good shout thanks. I’ll stick a new tap on and see what happens.

Evening folks, Got a bit of a headache trying to figure this out. Blue pipe incoming mains - stopcock - prv - 2 external garden taps one front and one rear. Prv is reading 2.6 bar. Confirmed this with a meter on the dishwasher feed. One garden tap reads 2.6 bar. The other 3.7 bar. How can this...

Hi Gents, Is it possible to drain the coil without the rest of the upstairs heating system. Cylinder is located in 1st floor airing cupboard with the boiler underneath on ground floor. Leaking soldered joint shown in green directly below air bleed vent. I need to fix it. Any help much appreciated!

Just done some research. The Kamco CF90 it is then! Thanks for your advice guy's. Where would be the cheapest place to buy the kit?

I have an option to buy a used Fernox PowerFlush Machine MKII and 2 MagnaClean Filters for £850. Have you heard any problems regarding these machines. If I opt for the Kamco I'm looking at £1500 new with a magnaclean filter. Cheers

I'm thinking of investing in a power flushing machine for the business. Anyone got opinions on the best one to buy?

Gents. Thanks for all your help. I am not a heating engineer and am at a loss to know what I can do next. I thought the cold feed is from the F&E tank. All the rads are full of water. How is this stopping the rads downstairs getting hot?

Gaz. Could you elaborate on that please. How do I deal with that if that is the problem?

All the rads upstairs are only opened a smidge. If I close them any further they wont come on.

Ollie. If only life was simple. Downstairs rads cooling down since I opened up the top rads. Off to price a job. This heating system is driving me nuts.

Done that. Downstairs rads now up to heat. What next. Wait I guess?

Hi Ollie. As they have thermostatic valves on them, do I need to fully close the lockshield as well

Hi folks! Anyone good at problem solving. I have a traditional open vented, pumped Y plan heating system. Put cleaner in the system a few weeks ago to stop the kettling coming from the boiler. Drained down a couple of days ago refilled and added inhibitor. The problem - I have hot...
