Hello all! From the top... In August 2009 British Gas to replumbed my entire house. No existing plumbing was left. They installed a ST Monsoon 4 bar nagative twin head pump to supply the multiple bathrooms as there was insufficient pressure and flow coming in from the street for a...

Dear all who took part in this thread earlier and those who may be interested in reading it now. I am desperately in need of your help! My pump hunting has been going on for almost 2 years now and it is still unresolved. :( If there is anyone in London who would be willing to take on this...

Okay. I will do. Thank you very much. I wont be around for a week but will be sure to call him on my return. Thanks!

Only because we didnt have mixer taps before but we do now and that may be where th installation error lies. Also the position of loos and sinks and things changed so although they simply had to connect BG's exisiting pipework every installation could be an expected source. Secondly the...

I agree the loft needs to be isolated to eliminate it, but then that will require a plumber. I was trying to identify the problem before getting a plumber. Dont forget every tap, loo, shower and appliance in the house is also new and all the immediate connections to those aswell. But I agree...

Yes. But I think the new guys were less capable than BG! They simply drew the water for the loft by connecting the new plastic pipes (going to the loft) to the copper outlet pipes coming away from the pump. But there is no valve to isolate the loft pipes. Simply a T junction of copper to plastic...

Hi doitall. I think I would need a plumber for that as I would need to put a stop cock on the pipes supplying the bathroom or is there an easy way to isolate the pipes without draining the system etc? Thanks

Hello Yesterday I left the mains off all day but left the kitchen tap closed. The hunting occured every 15 minutes when I got home from work (same as when I left the kitchen tap open). Looking at my photo of the pump, is the EV vessel the balck one on top. Since the problem began with the...

Evening Well I did your test. Ran hot. Closed mains off. Opened kitchen tap. Then I opened a hot tap upstairs (so I was close to pump so I could hear) and literally it only takes a couple of drops before the pump kicks in. Almost before a drop even comes out. I did the test again where I...

I rewrote the long bit above to correct typos and hopefully clarify things so please ignore the first long post.

In August 2009 I contracted British Gas to replumb the entire house. All the very basic but poorly done plumbing was ripped out and we started from scratch. At the time there was only a kitchen tap, one bathroom and a couple of radiators. I told BG that we would be adding a further two...

Help me god! How frustrating. I had the area manager for BG around yesterday afternoon who said the the guys who plumbed in the system initially are not plumbing experts (in this field) and therefore may not be the best people to find the cause of the hunting.(not sure what type of experts they...

Yes I posted it earlier so its probably already a few pages back! I think I've reached the point where I ready need to get someone in to fix the problem so I'm trying to get the plumbers who installed the system back in 2009 to see whats going on. I think they will get to the bottom of it...
