Our sink drain is constantly smelly. We are pouring bleach down here frequently and I have removed the pipes to clean etc but the smell always comes back withing 24hrs. Its a triple sink connection with a dishwasher also. I think the main issue is that there is no fall on the waste...

Tilted machine forwards Water ran out from base Left to dry overnight and hey presto all is working again :D Thanks for the great advice. Phil

Last week we managed to block our kitchen waste pipe and this seems to have adversely affected our dishwasher. I found our dishwasher leaking from the bottom of the kitchen cabinet (its an integrated type) and now even though it appears to be dry it just keeps trying to drain and wont start...

Thanks I assume then that if the Alpha 25-60 is already installed then it wont do any harm. Regarding the timer / stat can you point me in the right direction? At the minute; - there is no stat in the room, - there doesn't seem to be any thermocouple / underfloor sensor linked into...

We currently have a wet underfloor heating system in at extension on our ground floor. The system comprises; - Grundfoss Alpha 25-60 pump - 2 port manifold (2 out / 2 back) - Mixer valve etc Currently works over another 18msq and is just linked to the existing central heating system...

I am trying to get our central heating system and have a few questions about my boiler. It is supplying 7 rads with TRV upstairs and 7 rads + underfloor heating in 1 room downstairs. Pump is currently running on speed 3 - what will happen if I slow this down? What temp should I be...

totalshell If tried setting all lockshields so the rads hit the same temp (warm not hot) with the TRV fully open and the result was 3 cold downstairs rads. Do you think that the method you suggest will give a different result?

Thanks for the advice don't worry I can't increase the system pressure which is probably a good thing. I have just discovered a separate pump on the underfloor heating which I have just slowed down as I think the underfloor heating system may have been robbing the rest of the central...
