I think I clearly stated that the Wilo was the old one. The relevance being - I thought there might be a slightly different fitting to the expansion tank. All sorted now thanks and onto other issues which I won't trouble you with. The boiler will be serviced and the plumber will do all the...

OK thanks

no i'm not, sorry

Both joint clips are in again by the way, and seem to have clicked in OK.

Changing the pump using 178983, I believe this is Grundfos (black label). The old one I believe is Wila (white label) and had known problems. Straight away I noticed the bolt size to the casing is different, so I haven't attempted to change the "head" only. I've changed the whole casing for the...

Can anyone advise how a 3 bar pressure relief valve ( on a small hot water tank) works when the mains water pressure is higher than 3 bar. I believe it's quite common to have mains pressure higher than this so am surprised I've not come across the problem before. It blows and flows full bore...

are you 100% sure they are rebates. sometimes it can be beadings both sides. it's obviously a lot easier if that's the case. worth stripping the paint on one of them and having a check.

There are lots of adaptors for the various older standards of PE pipe (LDPE, MDPE, HDPE). Does anyone have any tips for identifying which adaptor should be used. Pipe I am looking at at the moment is 27mm OD. So it's a 3/4" pipe but which one...

can't remember the brand and model but it is dual tech. how does the sensor get re-enabled - when the alarm is reset? strange pattern of guard alarms though isn't it?

Came back to find the alarm had triggered yesterday. Strange thing is looking at it the time between the triggers was exactly 2 hours and 14 minutes both times. As if there is some kind of fault that was ignored for a set period of time? The sensor has not triggered a false alarm before. There...

that;s a quad PIR, it will mention dual tech if it's dual tech. do you need 4 sensors? think where they need to be so that one will go off if there's an intruder in the house you don't need to do every room necessarily.

The one you have linked to isn't dual technology - PIR only is cheaper. Dual tech use microwave sensing as well as PIR to reduce false alarms.

Not much luck no....

Does anyone know a reason why my brand new keypad backlight should only be 1/3 working? (apart from it's faulty, etc;) I didn't notice if it was always like this.

Do you think the new model I have may have some teething problems?
