Hi Nicetoseeyoutoseeyounice, Looks like you've been bombarded with FIX suggestions doesn't it? What I actually said was 'Windows won't let you DELETE temp files. These are usually the files Windows (and installed applications) are using TODAY, NOW and as you work on stuff). So it's not a...

Hi gas4you, The cold supply for the bathroom (including the toilet) comes from the huge black tank in the loft and the hot supply from the copper cylinder.

Hi gas4you, No-one mentioend shower pumps. The pump required goes in the pipe to feed hot water back upstairs to get a reasonable flow pressure to fill a bath. It works by flow sensing I believe and must therefore be electrically connected and kicks in when water starts to (or wants...

Hi There, Try this - it usually works - every time. Launch Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) and navigate to your C Drive. Scroll down and look for or folder/directory. If / when you find it will be full of crud. Chunks of files (& broken files), all kinds of file pointers...

Hi JohnD, Thanks again. Your points are noted and appreciated. Having looked in the floor and access panels last night I notice that there are very few 'elbows'. All turns are almost all done with pipe benders, giving a soft long radius to the bends. Even under the bath and up to the taps...

Hi gas4you, Thanks for the post. Thought so. Is it logic that the water is now at a greater pressure (because it's going ALL the way downstairs and that the journey back up to the first floor should not the flow completely. Or have I mis-understood something? Your last point...

Hi JohnD, Thanks for the post. An additional pump is supposed to improve the flow to basin/bath if cylinder is moved downstairs. We were told it would be er - confused now ... but I suppose it means that water will still fill the bath - just not as quickly as it does at present. We...

Hi jordan1, Thanks for the post and the encouraging news about moving the cylinder. Information taken on board about Combi Boilers.

Hi JohnD, Thanks for the reply. I can confirm that the bath is piped up with 22mm. It just reduces to the basins/toilets, but still low pressure. I'm not actually fitting a shower pump. We were advised that a 'flow sensing' pump will have to be fiited in the pipes for the NEW copper...

Hi landyandy, Thanks for the reply. It's the copper cylinder we want to move. Slipped up there by calling it a storage tank I guess - sorry! On the Combi's. I was ready to make a decision and replace the Current Potterton Boiler (10 years old) with a kitchen Cupboard sized (actually fits...

Hi JohnD, Thanks for the reply. We would like to move it to re-site a shower room where the Hot Water Tank is currently (including the 'airing cupboard'). We got a guy in who has had a look but he seems unsure (that if we proceeded and he fitted a pump ) we would be happy with the...

Hi, We have recently moved to a house in Berkshire. The main Hot water storage tank is located just at the top of the staircase. We are investigating if it's possible to move the tank to an area downstairs. Would this work if we fit a pump on the domestic hot water (dhw) supply to bring the...
