I've got a 2 bar negative head Stuart Turner pump, that just runs continuously. I've checked the pipe work and shower valve for any leaks and all is good. fitted a new circuit board, new pressure switch and 2 new non return valves. I've also removed and tested the flow switches with a magnet and...

A friend has asked me to change a tap for him. The ball o fix valve to the tap is seized. No surprise there, but the main stopcock in the kitchen, where the supply comes up is also seized. So I located the newly installed water meter cover in the street outside and the meter is lent over at the...

Thanks for the reply, I was starting to thing that I had the last one on the shelf before they went to E-Bus. The radiators were all balanced when the boiler was fitted and a few rads moved around about 5 years ago, Could it need doing again? I'm still only getting a temperature drop of about...

Is 5 years old not modern enough?

Humour me, but to keep the hot water tank at a reasonable temperature say 60C you would need a flow temp of at least 60c if not 65-70C to allow a temperature difference for it to transfer heat to the tank correct? But for my boiler to work efficiently in condensing mode I need the return...

Thanks for that just rung WB and waiting a call back to confirm.

Can i get optional controls fitted to my boiler, Like the FW100 of greenstar sense 2, does anyone know if these offer weather and load compensation?

This is how it's wired up currently. To quote a well know Dr "Sorry for the crudity of the drawing I've not had time to do in properly!"

I've been reading a lot online about boiler modulation and OpenTherm compatible, is that something my Worcester Bosch Greenstar 40CDi classic regular supports? Can't find anything in the manual or online, but it seems to have several spare connection inside the boiler wiring centre?

I've got a traditional central heating system with a 3 port valve, Y plan wiring, room stat, tank stat, and a Bosch Greenstar cdi classic boiler. I've noticed the boiler seems to be running a lot of the time, We've also got a frost stat setup(room and return pipe stat fitting into an outhouse...

I've got a fault with a Stuart Turner 3.0 bar negative head pump. The other day it just didn't come on when you open the shower valve. I phoned the manufacturer and they no longer sell services kits so it's £550 for a new pump. I decided to remove it and give it a good clean, non return valves...

I'm looking at putting up a carport at the top of the garden behind the garage. Id like to have a double width garage door on the front to make it easy to swing big stuff in and out while turning. The width of the opening will be around 5m wide and be along the gutter side of the roof so bearing...

Ok so I've found the lock shield valve was only open about 1/8th of a turn. Opened it up to 1/4 and the rad is getting nice and warm. Its a fair way from the boiler so id expect it to be a bit more open that that I'll have too check the balancing record to see what it should be set at. Can't...

If i crack the bleed nipple water ****es out so it's getting water from some where maybe the valve on the other side is stuck?

The pin moves freely up and down (although you need something hard to push it as it digs into your figure)
