This may explain why the situ now is different from last night,i couldn't understand why upstairs rads and HW ok but not DS last night but today nothing is heating except boiler, looks like the pump but i will check the small tank .....thanks

Thanks i must check that small tank not sure about zones if upstairs would be separate from downstairs well theres a motorised valve to control temperature downstairs anyway, to recap no heat anywhere now or HW

Hi my father has a problem with his heating witch is now my problem its a open vented oil system this is the problem currently the boiler fires on ok and heats but then cuts off upstairs where the tank and pump are all the pipes are cold the pump is noisey and when you turn the screw no...

ChrisR, yes as well as the sink but both are all ready installed plus the floor tiles around them, it would be easer to run a pipe from the tank in the attic than dig up floors and run a pipe from either of them! (apology at this stage i should say i live in a bungalow) i was up in the...

ok, thanks for all the info,lots to think about! i decided to test the flow rate on my electric shower i have in my bathroom (the other shower will be going in my en-suite) at best with a cold shower it spills out about 6 l/m which is less than just the hot pipe at the en-suite 8 l/m. so 8 l/m +...

the amount of hot water from the pipe seems quite good is that a separate issue than bar pressure??

one metre i would say! whats wrong with mains cold water? i would plan to use a reducer to slow it down!

hmmmm not sure what you mean!! i 'm puting in a mixer shower and i know the flow rate of the hot water coming from the hot water tank, the hotwater pipe is in place for the shower and it's 8ltr's per min,i'll be running a mains cold water pipe to the shower location,

hello, if my hot water flows at a rate of 8 litres per min and i have a mains cold water flow which should be good. what bar pressure mixer shower should i be going for to maximize the flow???don't want to buy something like a 10 bar rate if i don't have that rate and i don't want to buy 5 bar...

Suggest you get the plumber back to explain how he has plumbed this pipe. this would have been done when the house was build over 6 years ago to plumb one hot pipe (strange)! since there's a hot pipe there may as well use it just need to run a cold pipe from above i suppose.might take that...

hello, i decided to fit out my en-suite in my bedroom all the plumbing was in place with pipes appearing a few inches from the ground. where the shower would go there is one pipe, from that i assumed that the pipe would be mains supply for a electric shower because only one pipe but when i...
