We have a glass 90 x 75 splashback which, for some reason, the grey colour on the back has delaminated in a small area. The surface is in good condition but it’s looks poor. Instead of removing the existing glass splashback, I’m investigating whether it’s possible to just glue a new one on...

Hopefully these photos show the current aetup

Just to add that I could get rid of the rain head completely and just fit a handheld / riser bar. However, the water outlet pipe is above head height rather than being around waist height. It would need quite a long hose to allow use of the bracket. Has anyone any experience with this sort of...

We have an Aqualisa quartz shower with a wall mounted rain head. Is there any way of adding a handheld shower hose ? I've tried adding a diverter between the head and wall pipe which sort of works but we lose pressure from the rain head and it doesn't look great with the handheld hose coming...

Thanks, that’s a shame

We have an Ideal Logic Heat 12, Megaflow tank and standard (S plan ?) plumbing for radiator valves and hot water cylinder. It all seems to work ok but I’m confused by the boiler temperature control. The manual says it ranges from 30 to 80 with an E setting at about the 2 o’clock position. If I...

Thanks for the replies. I suppose it makes sense to cut the pipe and use another union even though it’s probably only for a couple of cm.

My house has a persistent leak where a half pipe (112mm) meets the connecting union to the next pipe or at the downpipe outlet. The half pipe isn't quite long enough as the builder seems to have set the down pipe union and pipe connecting union slightly too far apart. As it expands / contracts...

I have moved into a small 3 bed property with a condensing boiler, radiator TRVs (except for those near the thermostat), a Grunfoss UPM3 L circulator and an automatic bypass valve next to the Megaflow. The instller seems to have left the UPM in the factory default of proprtional curve 3. This...

In case anyone else has the same problem, the hot water inline filters was partially blocked by flakes of solder. I now have full pressure again

It’s a pressurised system from a megaflow. The house is about 2 years old. There is good pressure from the other taps and en-suite shower etc. Also there is good pressure from the bath hot tap if I turn the TMV control fully clockwise so that it’s only using the cold water inlet. It’s just when...

i have a Saracen TMV 2/3 fitted under the bath. With the control fully clockwise there is lots of pressure out of the bath hot water tap but it’s cold. With the control fully anti-clockwise there is hot water but at a reduced pressure compared to other taps. It means the shower fitted to the tap...

You are correct in that the house is a new build, about a year old. I still can't work out why the Magflo wiring centre does not have a permanent live. There is a another wiring box on the wall of the airing cupboard so I will have to trace through the wires in there as well.

Thanks for all your comments. I'll investigate further tomorrow to try and work out where the live comes from. Assuming the live is routed through the relevant thermostat, I'll just trace the wires and wire the Nest Heatlink in its place. It would be more straight forward if the installer had...

Definitely S plan as there are three separate water circuits each with its own valve. I can only think that a permanent live goes to the thermostat and becomes switched on call. This is then connected to both the valve grey but also to the wiring centre live terminals (and hence the valve...

Ah, that makes sense. I still don't understand why the Megaflo wiring centre does not have a permanent live. The grey wire to the valve is not live until the programmer / thermostat calls for heat via the brown wire.

With a view to fitting a NEST Heatlink for the upstairs zone I had a quick look at the Megaflo wiring centre but something is confusing me. When I manually open the Honeywell zone valve using the lever on the side there is no response from the boiler/pump. In fact if I try the downstairs zone...

Thanks for coming he reply but I'm slightly confused. If I set the manually set the valve to permanently open and disconnect the CH on, the zone would get heat when the downstairs zone is in. But won't it also get heat when the HW is on? I think I need a method of the upstairs valve opening when...

As per a previous post, I have a new build two zone system which I think you professionals would class as an "S" configuration. In the air cupboard I have three valves for the downstairs, another for the hot water (both controlled byTP9000) and an upstairs zone independently controlled by a...
