Like I said... Rare. In the field, I've encountered perhaps 3 out of 100s.

The only guy I would trust is the one on YouTube "the original leak detective". He knows his stuff and has loads of experience. A lot of others, who I have come in behind, are youngsters with all the gear but no idea... Been on a course for the agency they work for and that's about it! I've...

They don't put meters on shared supplies. It can/and has happen(ed) on rare occasions but usually with flats/apartments not houses.

My money would be on your plumber being right.

Battery was nearly dead and flash wouldn't work lol. 1st pic is pretty clear. I'll be back there at 9:30 so will see what's printed on the pipe.

This is worth noting. I've had numerous "leaks" reported to customers by water supplier - due to consumption. Several have turned out to be the suppliers fault, whereby they installed new water meters in the pavement and didn't tighten the connection on the customer's side properly! As...

There's a reason to be G3 qualified.

Google lens says Viega Megapress. Anything else I can use to make alterations as cold mains supply from UV combination valve is blocked somewhere and all cold outlets from it are non running... It's all in the walls and floors! I'm going to try to backflush it later today but preparing myself...

2 hrs on a wb can pass in the blink of an eye... And that's when you have full access!

Can't get better than that reply Tbf.

That's why I fit an external one when they fail... Same as on other boilers with a failed integral.

I know it's integral on that boiler... It's bloody useless! That's why I said "on external filling loops" I usually cap/put them out of service and use an external replacement - one with a gauge.

On external filling loops, this is why they come with cap ends and the braided hose is meant to be removed when not in use... I was amazed to actually find one in the removed position on a callout at the weekend!

Now you couldn't ask for more of a guide than that. Good for you for making the effort... Next, your own youtube channel ;)

You probably know more about oil boilers than me... I rarely see them.
