Yes, makes sense again, although that looks well beyond what I want to mess with, so I'll get that booked in tomorrow.

Very true, won't be doing that then.

Post googling, that DOES look like something I will need to get my plumber to do when he's back from London next. Looks like the potential for LOTS of loose water. But thanks

OK, I will get googling, lol. The pipe above the tee on further investigation DOES feed the downstairs bathroom, so that pipe has had another tee taken off it before the loft cold water tank, (about 20+ years ago by a 'qualified' plumber, then across the loft back down the downstairs bathroom...

Makes sense, knew I should have stuck to IT, lol. But as I can't get a decent plumber round here ( as they are all flat out and being stolen for jobs in London)with less than a months notice and I'm impatient..... :) Actually now you've explained and I'm looking at it, makes sense, I had...

Ah OK, So repair the pipe (vent pipe) that I've f'ed up. And then move the elbows to where I have marked in yellow?

So here's a couple of other pictures, In the bottom picture are the only other two pipes I can see which I believe are for the hot water heating for the ch. The top picture, the second pipe from the back is the one that tees onto the pipe I have cut into from the top connection on the hot...

Oh ****, thanks :) I'll do that tomorrow after work, so now I'm completely lost, where the hell is the hot feed then? I can only see three pipes going into the tank, the one I have cut into, the cold water feed and the feed from the CH? I'm going to look again!

Sure here goes; IMG_0971 by Trevor Austin posted 9 Oct 2016 at 7:15 PM IMG_0972 by Trevor Austin posted 9 Oct 2016 at 7:15 PM So the first picture is of the pump placement. The second is the take off from the hot outlet at the top of the tank. Pipe from right is outlet, fed to the connector...

Take off

Pump

Also checked the feed pipe to the pump, through the 15mm pipe added, that is running at over 15lps, so I'm lost, the hot water pressure was OK, but not good before fitting the new upstairs bathroom taps, but then as I understnad it modern taps do need higher pressure. Downstairs flow hasn't...

I'll check that thanks, however if that was the case wouldn't I have bad unpumped flow downstairs too? And the pump should still turn off, I'll go and do a comparison of the downstairs HW outlet........ 15 seconds unpumped, 13 pumped. And I've found out why it carries on running. There is a...
