Just to point out - This is for a heat only vented system - I still do not understand why two pumps are neeeded when I currently have one pump which does the job! I agree the ideal mexico 2 boiler is old but I was thinking it would be a swap out for a new heat only boiler with a pump change at...

I just had a quote for a new boiler install as follows I dont undertand why a 15-60 boiler pump is needed and a 25-100 pump is needed as well I currently have an ideal mexico 2 heat only boiler - It has one DAB pump on the boiler return and a 2 port valve at the flow pipe to allow for heating...

Hi again - Thank you You are more experienced then I am I have a pump on a shared CH and HW flow pipe and a separate return for the CH and a separate return for the HW. Is this a gravity system in that case ?

Thank you - Can you also quickly answer whether you would also rip out the system? It works and must have cost a bomb to install when put in. Is it really a good idea to replace with plastic two pipe and will it make that much of a difference? Can you also confirm this is called gravity HW...

I ve been bombarded with PMs in five mins of listing - Hurry now and be quick ! 6M chimney flue also included !

Everyone on here tells me how great an Ideal Mexico 2 boiler is - I have one working and installed that you can take away for free if you disconnect! :) I dont think I will get any offers but I thought I would try! Free to take away!

My current boiler which I want to swap out is here I still dont know if I have a fully pumped system or something else? A lot seems to turn on whether I am fully pumped or not and compliance with regulations etc

That’s how I have understood the system. I have to have ch on for hot water to work but I wanted to understand from the forum. Is this a y plan? And is it pumped or gravity or something else It’s a large older home 1930s. The previous owner must have spent a pretty penny having it put in...

Is that how its called? The system is pumped but the HW return is not - I can make modificatoins to the system after the white pipe where the two port valve is I cannot change the three inch pipework and gave up tryng to get fittings or use a threading machine for that

I hope you can see the big fat white flow pipe which then tees into copper for the hot water cylinder Is my system fully pumped? Partially pumped? Gravity fed?

In the loft there is a cold water storage tank and a F&E expansion tank in the loft as well - Its not sealed system

Thank you crosswater - I really cant upgrade all the pipework - I will do that when I have money to do a loft and extension but for now and probably the next ten years I cant keep up with the cost of the house maintenance! 1) Will a new boiler work equally well as the existing Ideal Mexico 2...

I am lucky to live in a detached house that has four bedrooms in it - I have an Ideal Mexico 2 boiler with 3 inch steel barrell pipework coming up the external of the house. I have had a few gas engineers come out to try and replace and they all want to rip out floorboards and generally make a...

When pump is off I can block hot water easily and cold water with some force The kitchen cold tap is main fed and very powerful With pump on pump activated when toilet is flushed as all house is now plumbed to run off pump - In hindsight I wish I had an unvented cylinder and got away with all...

The new pumps have turn knobs for isolation. They are fully open!

There are no penny slots - There are turn knobs for isolation which have been fully opened !

This is a new pump! If I switch off pump then hot water is non existent and cold water is good ! Do you really think the strainer is blocked up - Not easy to drain down hot water and inspect the pipes!

There are two pipes from the cold water storage - One for cold water to ST pump and one for cold water to the hot water cylinder - Both open full. The cylinder I have is this one https://www.gledhill.net/products/vented-cylinders/envirofoam-stainless/ It has 28mm feed from tank to the hot...
