what type of system have you got?

ooops I had better have a study of those regs and find that one. Sorry if I have mis- advised. I cant work out how you can use the bib type brackets if it goes through a wall. Suppose you could make some kind of a wall plate to screw the brackets too. ????

you only need check valves if the shower head whan taken off the riser will be lower than the bath.

yes its secured on the other side of the wall with the pipes.

I would suggest you search the net for central heating plans. building regs must be adhered to so check them out as well

Breezer is correct the pressure guage on the boiler is for central heating only it has no bearing whatsoever on your tap water pressure. Is the cold water ok, if it is then perhaps the hot water side has been turned off. Look underneath the boiler or where all the pipes exit there should be a...

is it luke warm with a good flow. If yes then without coming round and looking im lost. if the flow is reduced then take the hot tap mechanism out clean change washer etc but I must admit I am a bit stumped. especially as you have hot water coming from the basin.

Is it a fully pumped system. Have you a thermostat to control the hot water on the immersion tank? You can usually feel if the pump is working vibration etc.

could be the fan bearings

if you have a combi then the hot and cold are balanced. try a seach for the showerdoc they have exploded diagrams for a lot of showers on there I would give the whole site address but I dont think im allowed too

I suggest you go back to the funky tap supplier and ask. Or perhaps if you give us the make and style of tap somebody may be able to help. :)

how does she get her hot water combi or pressurised system. yes you can have all your cold water from mains supply. but unless she has some kind of pressurised system she will need a cold tank to supply the hot water cylinder. this can be in the form of a combined hot and cold cylinder...

An electric shower just heats mains water, you can get a pumped one but its for a tank. Pumping mains water is illegal. If everyone in your town pumped there mains water then the water board pumping stations would over run and burn out. (something like that anyway) if you have mains hot...

You can not pump mains water Illegal. You could quite possibly have a combined hot and cold water tank What does the tank look like?

it sounds like the cartridge in the shower has jammed it either needs a replacement or taking out cleaning up and re greasing. You are descibing a typical combi boiler to me.

if you do a search for your boiler you will get all the information you need well i did. I would insert a link to the site I went to but im not that clever. :? Breezer may step in and help? :)

Yes thats ok. The thing to consider when buying new c/h is what you are expecting from it and tying that in with how much you want to spend. how many bathrooms, how many people it needs to serve dhw to at one time do you want power showers etc etc.

did he flush the system first? maybe you should try that.

one of them valves is not a main supply valve its a tank valve. Its not unusual in my area to have two rising mains to a house, quite often one of them isn't metered and water board have no knowledge of its existence. Bash are you on a water meter if yes turn it off from there. as...

first look at the diverter valve it should push a pin out and activate a micro switch this in turn fires the boiler when dhw is called if its not working you need a new diaghram in the diverter.
