Just an update to say it's been unblocked by the water company. It turns out the blockage was 2 properties down the road. The neighbours must be...
But no hot water is going to be used.
This is more of a discussion rather than me wanting it. I could rephrase my question and ask why isn't everyone using a combi boiler as system...
Why is this needed? No water would be going in the boiler, or out, for hot water. The pipes would be empty and not connected to the cold water...
I meant just a normal combi. It would be like having a normal combi installed but not using the hot water facility. Is there any reason you can't...
Is there any reason not to? Just cap cold cold water in, hot water out. There's then the option of getting rid of the hot water cylinder in the...
Yes, if anyone does it, it won't be me! I think it's shared as it is downstream from me, so I will get in touch with the water company. The only...
Looks like the blockage is downstream?
Good explanation but if I had a normal pipe terminal and no AAV, this would never have been detected. I'll look for that blockage...
I initially thought it was a blockage and tried a few easy methods to unblock but they all targeted a blockage just after the toilet. Ok, will...
The water level doesn't rise without an AAV in place. Isn't the issue with air flow/pressure rather than blockage?
Hi, I've got a soil pipe terminating just under my upstairs bathroom window. There's an AAV on top. Since it's been installed 2 years ago, it has...
Another question. Is biocide required for UFH because of the low temp, as opposed to inhibitor for the rads? How do you stop the biocide mixing...
Good point. I didn't realise this.
I'm considering UFH for an extension. It's supposed to be so efficient because of the low water temperature required. But a blending valve is...
Thanks, I think I got lucky this time. I didn't know it was an fcu till I had a look.
Yes, just one outside light. I would assume as well that the cable connected to the load terminals goes to the light. Yes, single brown is on the...
Lighting, so both kitchen lights and outdoor lights are dead. A bit odd to use an FCU for this purpose, isn't it? But I think it's going to help me.
The socket above has nothing to do with it. I installed the socket myself for the fridge and cooker.
There's a T&E in for the supply to the FCU and one out for the load (outdoor light). There's a single brown insulated wire connected to the supply...
