Had the dishwashwer out this morning, out in the sunshine which so far was the only bonus....checked pressure switch for operation and that it is functioning correctly, also removed outlet hose from circulation pump and checked that pump rotated when turned with screwdriver and that is was not...

Many thanks, will be having a look this morning to see if anything obvious,

I gather that the circ pump is not the same pump that empties it, any idea if there is a schematic dwg that shows its location

I have an Indesit DIF04 diswasher that has gone into fault mode, the 1 (Intensive) and 3(Soak) indicator lights flash along with the on/off button light. The user manual found online says that with 1 & 3 flashing (no mention of the on/off light) then problem is with the filters and trap but...

Could some one tell me if the B&Q Moretti Acqua Thermostatic Shower valve has Flow restrictors fitted ? Just replaced a gravity fed Mira unit after a complete bathroom refit and the Moretti which is now fitted is rated 0.5 bar minimum operating pressure and is not coping... should have...

With a little bit of re-plumbing and the aid of a surrey valve finally got around to fitting the pump to the hot water supply without interfering with the existing gravity fed shower in the other bathroom. The problem with lack of hot water supply to the second shower that was fitted a while...

Hi Tipper Many thanks for your reply, I initially tried to balance things up by reducing the cold water supply to the shower valve to give the hot water a chance but it reduced the total flow to the shower head to a trickle. It is not possible to supply the shower with cold supply from...

The idea is to solve the problem with regards to not having enough hot supply to the new shower. I suspect the shower valve that has been fitted is not up to the job and the simplest way I feel is to pressurise the feed from the cylinder with a pump located in the airing cupboard that will...

I am looking to fit a pump directly to the hot water supply feed from the hot water cylinder to solve a problem of lack of hot water supply to a recently fitted shower in a bathroom where there wasn't one previously. My plan is to fit a surrey flange to the cylinder and vent to the header...

What is the difference between Panel valves and Stop valves. looking to purchase a pair 3/4" for filling a bath via filler overflow but unsure what the difference is between them, i am assuming that the stop valves may be full flow without any internal cartridge technology where as the panel...

Many thanks for the assistance guys

hello picasso never have had much luck with either wood or pipe things :lol: you might have guessed by now that i am not a plumbist.... yes mains cold and hot water from cylinder fed by header tank in loft...so i have a mains system....dont i ?

Hi Richard, thanks for your input, i appreciate the gravity HW feed is a limiting factor with non pumped systems but it works ok with the other shower in the next room which is a mira and which balances the pressure of the H/C water system feeds with a thermostat valve and gives a decent...

i might have given you guys some bum info here earlier .... its the the hot water that is supplied from an immersion heater type cylinder which lives in an airing cupboard on the landing and is fed from a tank (gravity fed ?) from in the loft .. the cold water is from the mains (mains...

forgive me for doubting but why 5 metres, what installation has 5 metres from a diverter valve to the tank when they are generally installed in bathrooms which then only have loft space above. as i mentioned earlier the other showers performs ok so is it something regards the diverter plunger...
