I think this may receive more attention in the plumbing and ch forum but am replying because I have exactly the same problem.I have removed the bar,cleaned the filter discs and flushed through,to no effect. Water heating is ec7 and set around 50deg.I have the spec for the shower in front of me...

A friend is letting out a ground floor barn conversion which has underfloor heating run by a 12kw heatrae sadia flow heater,phoned me up to say boiler is leaking.That was an understatement,it had burst and if I didn't know better I would say it had been frozen,(quite possible).Anyway,replaced it...

Had a look at one for a friend last week,as you describe it has two green fibreglass covers,under one is the biodisc (belt off and motor flooded) and under the other one is a deep sump with a submersible pump to take the effluent to (he doesn't know where).Horrible job. You can buy some...

You are right,I will get the boiler service guy (in his fifties and time served)to take a look.

Thanks,boiler has been serviced yearly and the system drained and refilled (system protector added) about eighteen months ago when I had the kitchen revamped.I guess I will have to get a bypass valve fitted,any reason I can't do it myself ?.The only access to pipework now is to go 'potholing'...

Thanks,not round there till next thursday but will certainly try that,anything to ease circulation.

About six years ago I had heating installed in my mothers house,I was not happy with the workmanship but let it go.Mother who is now 89 years old complained that it made a racket and woke her at night..er.. I let that go as well.I stayed the night over this christmas and was first woken up not...

For what they cost,I would replace that capacitor and see where you go from there.Can you borrow a 'tongtester'?,current readings would be far more useful as a diagnostic. As you found debris around the pump are you sure the pump itself is ok? because they are multistage with many internal...

I still think you will need a capacitor in series with the start winding,Please do not be tempted to put it DOL in parallel or you will most likely take out your service fuse.

Interesting,I have seen several motors on small feed mills in the past rated 480/960 volt,with a hand cranked series parallel starter.These were all installed in rural areas where only a 3 wire single phase supply was available.Your motor sounds like a lower voltage version these,has it got a...

Two and a half months ago I sprayed the post and rail of a large menege with dark Ecosote,the fence is four and a half years old and had not been treated since it was put up,the job went well and customer was pleased with the result.Now in places but not all over the fence has thousands of small...

Quite right,my house has them throughout and they have never given any problems , they have bought those things that look like they've melted.I will go down the route suggested by Holmslaw as I have a packet of long screws so will go buy a tap on monday.

Thanks lads,I must admit I hav'nt been round to look at these and am only going on what I've been told but it seems they have bought new sockets and found there are no side lugs in the boxes so looks like a careful dig out and new boxes.

Next door are nest building (2 weeks to go)they have dropped two socket outlets away from the wall in the nursery for re-papering and thrown the (4BA?) screws away because they bought new sockets...problem,the old sockets are '70s mk with four screws each.now they are in a muddle ,Iseem to...

Wot?no bailing twine.
