Blimey :eek: Thanks for the tips both, I'll obviously start of with yours JT

Bumpety bump

Correct. I never have to top up after venting unlike my old place. I'll have a look at the manuals. Cheers

The Wilo loops in and out of the tank. So no factor. Only that orange pump attached to the manifold I can see. Otger than the black and gold Valiant block, nothing else. Boiler pressure 2.0 bars but its on right now, I would say 1.5 when off from memory.

Thanks guys, Boiler, stuff under it, pump attached to tank, manifold, manifold pump.

It was commissioned early October 2022

The "Last" radiator in the house is in the loft. It makes a near constant (I'm gonna say) "hammery" sound when the system is on. When I bleed it an extraodinary amount of air comes out (sometimes for 10-15 seconds) before I get water. Things settle down for a few minutes. Then literally 2...

I'm just going to wire in a small speaker from an old laptop and see how it goes!

Thank you! I simply want the sound I send from my phone to reach the person standing under the camera in the way that I can hear them.

I have this Hikvision dome camera (DS-2CD2566G2-IS) which I've already installed. It has a built in mic and an "Audio Out" lead (terminates with green female blocks). The guide does not explain how to use this lead and I've searched the web for a compatible speaker. No one seems to be selling a...

The They look good, just too big (thick) for my precise shelf mounts. I can't find anything less than M10. No doubt will have other things to fix to the walls in the future. Will keep them in mind.

Thank you chaps, I am hitting the brick after a massive 80mm, 8 flipping cm! it's obscene. Totally the wrong kind of boards for this task IMO. So naturally I need a screw which is going to go at least 40mm into the brick to provide any kind of security. 80mm of plaster board, foam and air +...

How did you get on with this? My whole house was built like this. And not a word from the builder advising me how to mount anything to the wall even though he knows I'm doing it.

I think I've set my life up for hell. Builder has put thermoboards on every external facing wall in the house, on top of which is plasterboard, plaster. I'm in the process of installing shelves around the house. It's not straightforward at all. I need to drill what feels like almost 80mm before...

Thanks for the suggestion. Mixergy seem to be on top of this. They've written this article which shares my thoughts entirely: https://www.mixergy.co.uk/news-and-insights/what-about-decarbonisation-of-water/ The industry needs to change in light of recent world events. A 20% reduction in energy...

I guess I am trying to reinvent the wheel here but hear me out. Seems in the year 2022 we still have to second guess how much "hot" water is remaining in a hot water tank. Our family usage varies dramatically from day to day, some days we might as well stick the tank to permanently on (governed...

OK, that was easy in the end. Zone Options. 9=Res. Select, I changed to Option 13 (NO 1kOhm EOL). No resistor required. Obviously a hideous fudge. This allows you to use any kind of switch as a PA button.

Hi all, This is probably a very difficult or impossible thing to achieve. I want to use the attached Normally Open Momentary (Retractive) switch to operate the PA. Looks a bit like a light switch but it'll do the job for me nicely! I understand that a PA switch is typically a N.C switch but am...

Random whirring, gushing, trickling sounds in FF and Loft radiators sometimes during first 5 to 10 mins, sometimes the entire time heating is on. Despite bleeding, flushing, and balancing according to my amateur knowledge, issue remains. Scared to turn them on too early or late because the noise...

First time living with a Hot Water Tank (300L Tempest). Some nooby questions please... 1.) My understanding is I don't have to wait for the whole (300L) of cold water to get heated. By design, the water around the area of the hot water outflow pipe is always the "hottest". Although as they...
