    Beko DW686 - Fan Drying - Condensation of Floor - Normal?

    Yeah, terrible design! I personally found the drying phase a bit of a gimmick anyway to be honest. It sounded good on paper, but our pots are dry anyway if you leave the door shut for a couple of hours after running and use rinse aid. The only way this would be useful would be if you wanted to...

    Beko DW686 - Fan Drying - Condensation of Floor - Normal?

    Hi Graeme, Beko sent an engineer, who took the sides off and concluded there was no fault. He was surprised at the design, and said he would speak to Beko. Beko said that this was the intended design?! I said I wasn't happy and they authorised me to return to AO for a refund. I then bought the...

    Extractor Pulling Air from Loft

    Then I've obviously installed them incorrectly, in that case, because since replacing the windows and doors (which are now air tight) that is exactly what happens. The replacement 'fresh air' that the extractors draw from the path of least resistance when extracting is now via any unsealed...

    Extractor Pulling Air from Loft

    Thanks JohnD. I'm more than happy to go around and seal all of the entry points into the loft. I did this already in the main bathroom on the downlighters because the fan was pulling air via them rather than under the door as you suggest. This worked great. However, I then wonder what the...

    Extractor Pulling Air from Loft

    Hi, I've recently refitted our main bathroom and built an ensuite. In both I've fitted Turbo Tube Pro inline fans to take care of the ventilation. These are being extracted outdoors via the loft and then the soffits. I did some research and found the best I could afford, because a) the ensuite...

    Worcester Greenstar Heatslave II Smart Stat

    Thanks Oilhead. Yeah, this would be acceptable I guess. Worcester recommend the comfort control for DHW with the easy control adapter and smart stat layered on top for heating control. Would have just preferred it all in one so we are able to turn DHW on from our phones if it's currently off on...

    Worcester Greenstar Heatslave II Smart Stat

    Hi, We're having a Worcester Greenstar Heatslave II external boiler fitted, and was looking at the Worcester Easy Control smart stat, which requires the easy control adapter to work with the oil boiler. Worcester technical say that this will only work the heating side and cannot control the dhw...

    HRM Wallstar 12/14 Flow Issues

    Thanks for your reply, and your advice, very useful and much appreciated. The vent pipe isn't sucking in air. There's no magnetic attraction around the point where the cold feed joins the return or where the vent joins the flow. However if I trace the cold feed, it leaves the header tank in 15mm...

    HRM Wallstar 12/14 Flow Issues

    Hi All, We inherited an HRM Wallstar 12/14 "half moon" boiler when we bought our house 12 or so years ago. It's been reliable and based on advice from previous posts on here, we're aiming to keep it as long as we can. It's in an open vented Y plan config. It's always run well, I've drained...

    How to put Extractor Ducting Under Screed

    Are you dead set on a downdraft extractor? You could always go for a ceiling suspended one?

    American Fridge Freezer Plumbing

    Thanks all for your responses. I've thought of a way now where I could run a 15mm pipe down from the loft, by buying a few larder units and 'building in' the American FF, leaving ventilation gaps etc. I can run the water supply into the cabinet next to the FF, and keep the filter and isolator...

    American Fridge Freezer Plumbing

    Hi, We've bought an American style fridge freezer that requires plumbing. It's going on the wall in the kitchen that is opposite to the water supply, so no water supply nearby. In the loft above (bungalow) there is a nearby mains cold feed to the CH header tank which I can tee into. My...

    New Shower Options

    Thanks Terry and Flameport. I guess we are used to an electric shower as it is all we have had for the last 10 years. We find it adequate, obviously it's much better in the summer than winter. Whatever happens, we would likely keep the electric one in the ensuite so that we have an instant...

    New Shower Options

    Thanks Terry! Is that something like the SP2B? I did see those on Amazon, but the reviews were very mixed. I also wasn't sure if our cold header tank was large enough to supply both the cold side of the shower valve and the hot water cylinder? It's not very big, I'd estimate 50 or 60 litres...

    New Shower Options

    Hi All, We've recently created a new ensuite, and have moved the existing electric shower circuit from the main bathroom into this. We are now looking to refit the main bathroom and considering our shower options. I've spoken to a local electrician who says we could have a second electric...
