I've got a 2 Bar shower pump (Salamander CT75 XTRA) connected to a thermostatic valve. I've been having a problem where the pump would start then stop - it could be restarted by turning the temp fully low and then kept running by slowly increasing the temp.
Salamander tech support had me do a...
We have a cold water tank in the loft, sat on the rafters. Water pressure upstairs isn't great as the head is probably les than 6 feet.
I'd like to improve the water pressure in the upstairs bathroom, and fit a shower without having to install a pump.
Could I increase water pressure by...
Thanks for the replies guys.
Can't say whether it ever worked correctly - we bought the house last year and noticed a problem with the rads coming on when the hot water was on. Had the 3-way valve replaced (the whole thing) in October and of course the heating has been on ever since ...
Hi Guys
Had the three-way valve on our heating system changed last year as the heating came on when just hot water was selected.
We are now back in the "hot water only" season and the same thing is happening again.
Have checked the valve and the selector is moving correctly when I...
Hi Guys
Currently have a laminate floor which goes from the dining area through an archway into the kitchen. Planning to replace the kitchen floor with stone tiles.
The challenge is how to cut the existing laminate floor where it goes through the archway (the boards are laid perpendicular...
Hi Guys
Refitting the kitchen and changing from a standalone cooker to separate hob and oven. Have a cooker power point in place with a single switch / outlet for the cooker.
The hob will where the cooker is now, so no problem there. The oven will be the other side of the (small) kitchen...
Hi Guys
Was plumbing in the monobloc mixer tap on a new bathroom basin. Connected up the cold feed, thought I'd turn on the tap to see if it worked before I connected up the hot - and was surprised to get a lap full of water from the (not yet connected) hot pipe (the hot tap was "on")...
Have just installed a new monobloc tap with flexible tap tails. At the end of the tail is a female fitiing which looks like it's 3/4 inch (could be 22mm) and a rubber seal inside. Could anyone let me know what type of fitting this connects to? Does it screw on to one end of a compression...
We have recently moved to a new house and are discovering for the first time the joys of oil-fired central heating.
The main house was built in 1976, so is cavity wall but almost certainly has no cavity wall insulation. We plan to get that insulated at some point using polystyrene beads...
Thanks.
Solenoid didn't do the trick, so capacitor is next on the list.
At that point I will give up and get someone who knows what they are doing ....
