Thanks johnD. Can you tell me what the pipe is called? Just so i at least sound like i know what i'm talking about when i try to explain which pipe the water is dripping from.
:-)
Hi,
Photos are in the album now. :oops:
There are two possible places that the pipe comes from:
either the bathroom or the water tank.
For the last few years it has never seemed to drip water and I presumed it was some kind of ventilation pipe but over the last few days it suddenly...
Hi all,
I have recently found that an external pipe (which I suspect to be linked to the bathroom) has suddenly started dripping water.

During the time of installation, I was telling the engineer about the bottom of radiators being cold and top being hot. He then reccomended getting a powerflush.
I told him i'd get it done and hire a machine so as a favour he put the chemicals into the boiler. The idea being that if the...

Was there something I missed in the steps I outlined? :O Please let me know. :-)
This is something i'm not sure about. How does I balance them? It is where I use a key to let out air of each radiator OR do I need to do something with the boiler?
I've got no idea about this. Please...
This is exactly it - the attractive thing about a power flush is only having to take off one radiator and plug it into the valves. The thought of carrying radiators down the stairs is not cool. :-(
Two reasons:
1) We had a new boiler installed about 2 months ago and I was told to make sure I get it done
2) The radiators are cool at the bottom and hot at the top
Is there any issue of having to rebalance the radiators / boiler pressure afterwards? That is really the bit that bugs me.
My plan was to:
1) Find the stop-tap. Turn water off in the house.
2) Unbolt one of the radiators, carefully lift off the wall and drain it outside by letting the...
Hi Kev,
Sorry if I seem really stupid here, but I did look at the FAQ and there isn't a particular post covering how to do a Power Flush.
Did I miss it?
