It is a learning curve for me. Perhaps you would be good enough to explain why it wouldn't work. And how would you do it then?

Was trying to avoid the soldering and just use compression fittings. The U-bend is useful, does it come in a compression fit version as well? Yes it will need a few pipe clips to support it, and the Magnabooster is quite heavy. Not sure if I can get a pipe bender and bend the pipe roughly in...

Update:- I've removed the floor boards and created a bit more space. But it is extremely tight there. I have some compression fit elbows (22mm) and am thinking of fitting them at the corners marked 1,2,3 & 4 The return pipe would be cut at 1 & 4, hopefully i can get a pipe slice in there. The...

I see what you mean. Just had a look at one in wickes, and the bore narrows down to a very small hole.

It looks like a good piece of kit. But I suspect the limited access that the original poster was referring to would mean that this can't be used.

Due to the limited space, it it possible to use a flexible (instead of a rigid 22mm copper pipe) in the return pipe near where the Magnabooster will fit. See photo FlexiblePipe of the sort of thing I had in mind.

have you got a photo of the multi tool?

How did you cut it in the end?

That diagram is one I just picked up just to give an example. It is not a diagram of my system (although it is very similar). I think I may have the Y-plan system (will try and get photo later). The pump seems to have 3 settings. Which setting should the pump ideally be on? When would you use...

The plumbers who did the work, what do they say?

Thks, that is helpful and i had read it before. "circulate it for four weeks, drain, rinse, refill," I was really after more detailed, step by step (idiot-proof) instructions about the drain, rinse and refill bits. And how to bleed the air out of the system after refilling. Thanks Read...

What would be the best or Simplest way to for a home diyer to flush the hot water/heating system out to get rid of some of the particles/rust that may be in the system? I appreciate that it may not get rid of everything that's in there. I don't really want to disturb anything, unless I have to.

Sorry, i loaded the photo up but then forgot click save and it was lost.......lol Re did again, and then it was showing afterwards.

I would have just left it, but my heating cover people say I have to get the MB3 fitted.

The component shown with the RED arrow shown in photo PIPES2. What is it, what is it for, and what does it do? thanks

Everything on the system works ok.

The arrow on the pump does point up (photo image1) Thanks

Thanks. Any thoughts on where & how to fit the Magnabooster in the airing cupboard? Not sure which pipe to cut into?

Yes, I tried feeling the pipes, but to my surprise they both heated up at the same time and I couldn't be sure which one heated up first. I will have to give it another go. Any Potterton Prima F experts on here?........ Yes, it is tight. I guess it would have to go in the airing cupboard. Will...

Hello. I want to fit a Magnabooster MB3 to my central heating/hot water system. I believe (but i'm not sure) it's a open vented system and there is a pump in the airing cupboard. It's very similar to the system shown in Diagram. It has a hot water tank in the airing cupboard upstairs...
