I fitted the shower (mixer bar) but didn't fit a NRV.

Yes, absolutely fine. It's a single sided (H/W only) pump.

You suggested I shut them, which is what I did. When I opened them, the pump ran for 2 or 3 seconds. I didn't run the hot water with the valves closed - I just assumed with no pump in the circuit I'd be back to low pressure or none at all. Sorry for the confusion.

I isolated those valves & the problem went away. Trouble is, so did my hot water supply.

I have a 12 year old Hotpoint RLA36 larder fridge that freezes anything close to the back interior wall. The door seal looks intact & the drain hole isn't blocked. It's set to Temp 3 (Normal) but if I lower it, it doesn't get cold enough. I don't use it to chill warm food. I feel the air...

Thank you. Yes, I have those & will give it a go.

I don't believe so. Where would one be fitted & for what purpose?

Thanks again Rob. I can't fault your logic. Is that perhaps why my ceiling's fallen in? :LOL:

Sorry to say that it hasn't solved the problem. :censored: With no pressure in the vessel, it usually lasts a few weeks before it starts cycling again. After adding 0.9bar of pressure, it has lasted just a few hours before the problem re appears. Let me stress again, there's no leak in the...

Thanks very much Rob. I think you've solved the problem for me. It seems the bicycle pump I was using to pre-charge the vessel wasn't up to the job plus I was trying to charge it when mounted. I took the spare vessel to my garage compressor & put 0.9 bar of air in it. Remounted it & all seems...

I have a Stuart Turner U2.0 bar Single pump fitted to boost my hot water. It's about 10 years old but it's had the same problem from day 1 & ST aren't very helpful so I wonder if someone can advise. Every hour or two, it bursts into life for a few seconds & then switches off. I have hot...

I'm in the UK & have an 11 year old Hotpoint Future fridge & the back of it keeps freezing food. The seals are good, the temp setting is "normal", I don't add hot food to chill in it & don't open it more than necessary ie I've checked the basics & haven't found the solution. There seems to be...

SUCCESS! I finally got around to removing the (sealed) silencer & it appeared to be OK. I then spent 15 minutes bashing it against an anvil until I got lots of carbon deposits out. Reassembled & it runs perfectly at all angles. Many thanks to all who got involved in this problem, especially...

Thanks Nige. It went wrong quite suddenly so I doubt it's clogged. However, I'm not far from setting the whole thing on fire!

Sorry for the late reply. I'll try removing the silencer & see if it runs better. It used to run best when pointing upwards, but now it cuts out straight away when vertical. Maybe there is a loose baffle, as you suggest. I'm fairly certain nothing is wrong on the inlet side or electrics so...
