Barry Wow! I don't know quite what to say - I'm probably the wrong man to ask but here goes. My problem was that the flange I bought to replace the hot water outlet on the hot water cylinder had reversed outlets i.e. the hot water to the pump was from the top and to the main house system was...

OK chums - just an update - all replumbed and vented and correct outputs of the Warix flange going to the right places. Took a while to bleed the air out but having left it for over half an hour it fired up first time - which is a first. New thermostat in place too - but I'm not happy with...

To sider: You must have thought of the same thing as I was checking up. So thanks. Would have got there in the end. :oops:

Right chums. It could be I have the answer to all of this. Just looked at the Salamander pump website it appears that I have got the outlets of the Warix back to front. Unlike the Surrey flange the hot water domestic and vent is taken from the side vent and not from the top. :oops: I knew I...

To all: Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions - this particular topic seems to have some interest. The Easiboost pump comes ready fitted with 15mm flexible connectors. These have new 15mm copperwork fitted to both the inlet and outlet sides, the cold water being feed directly from the...

To simond The reference to external air not getting and being created by the impeller is a cavitation issue. To explain if I can: when a blade passes through water rapidly air bubbles are formed at the tip. This used to be a problem on ships propellers - the bubbles could erode the blades...

Someone in the office had mentioned cavitation. The cylinder thermostat is about all that is original - and I have a new one to replace it - because I did think it was sticking - but nevertheless the old one is set at 60. I thought there was a temperature cut-out on the pump. It may explain...

Question: I have just installed a new power shower and showerhead complete with new HW tank and Warix valve. Pump and shower are both by Newteam - Easiboost and Tapmate Galaxy-T Thermostatic Mixer respectively. The pump is a twin impeller unit. The cold water tank is in the attic above the...
