    Pump at bottom of header tank in attic

    yes I am wondering. - if you stopped both propellors but turned the pump on then you would/could burn the pump motor out but what about if you had 2 showers , 2 propellors on 1 motor shaft (twin outlet single pump) and one shower was not running then one side of the propellers would be still...

    Sorry I did not explain it properly. they are 9kw instant electric showers with built in pump - single cold pipe from header tank Mains pressure is a bit better in the kitchen sink than the hot tap in the kitchen sink (which is fed from the immersion heater tank in the hall) - but not that...

    Pump at bottom of header tank in attic

    is this do-able and will it work? - are pumps better to 'push out' the water or better to 'pull/suck' the water through? if you have your twin propellor pump with its 1 shaft running but 2 propellors are running but shower number 1 is not going but shower number 2 is operating would that (or...

    Beko Tumble Dryer Drum is not earthed

    I've not long had a new Beko vented Tumble dryer and couldn't understand why I was getting static electric shocks as I was pulling out the clothes after drying but now I think I find the cause.

    Beko Tumble Dryer not Drying

    ok thanks, I will give it a go i kinda wanted more to know though if the top cut-out device was supposed to be open circuit or closed circuit though still, in normal operation all the time .. or should there be any resistance at all. in other words when you go to check the non-resettable top...

    Beko Tumble Dryer not Drying

    Thanks for the reply. If the safety cut-out(s) has failed though then I would get no voltage present at the element as well though. I am also wondering if the top cut out is normally open or wether it has some kind of resistance in normal circumstances or if its normally closed when drier is...

    Frost Protection on outside oil boiler module

    only 1 more thing I have to get my head around is that if you have a FrostStat set to 5c and a pipe stat set to 30c then does the pipe stat ever get to 30c? - because surely when the inside of the outside boiler module reaches a temperature of 5c (which I should imagine it does very quickly due...

    Frost Protection on outside oil boiler module

    ah right , because its on the permanent live? - so if you wired the pipe stat at 30c on the permanent live and not the switched live then that would work ... but as wildcat pointed out - fuel wastage

    Frost Protection on outside oil boiler module

    i hear/read 2 different settings for the frost stat some sites say 5c .. then some say 0c - i have just set ours at 3-4c - on some grant condenser boilers (could be vortex) they have a non adjustable frostat set at 5c at the factory. If you had a pipe stat wired up as in diagram 1 at 30c I...

    Frost Protection on outside oil boiler module

    in the instructions on our Grant Euroflame outdoor kerosene oil boiler it says that a pipe state fitted to the return water pipe may be fitted to offer frost protection and that it shall be set at 30 degrees centigrade. If water freezes at 0c i wonder why they say to set the stat at 30c ? -...
