I would ignore your boss I have met his type many times before :D Or go and get a new job. Start the basic way open some outlets hold on to the hot supply pipes if they cool quicker than they would naturally then that is the offending device.

Has the issue started after the pump was fitted and the second tank fitted?

Me recons Filter. go on open it and see :)

The reason it has worked okay I assume is that your ratio in pressure is within the working band of the valve, now for some reason you cold pressure is higher and it is now outside the ratio. example if the valve will work at a ratio if 5:1 the you can have 0.2 bar pressure on the gravity hot...

That looks the job bit funky designed for Grundfos Cheers also spudkey for the link as I could not find the detail page for them, Plenty of different versions to choose from.

I am not sure about a timer is there another way of wireing it. I am gonna have a quick look on there site at that Idea.

Well done it was Manco that made it for me. :wink:

Don't panic I had it made for me, I wanted to fit it under the eaves in the loft for when I convert it so I do not take up all the standing room height.

They always rename products for the big boys so the consumers cannot find cheaper prices. It then becomes a pain for parts. If you email enquire at the company name you mentioned dot com with that query they will tell you the part number for the tivoli cartridge.

I have my mains unvented cylinder lying down horizontal and the thermostat to control the temp is pants, it is 210 liters and as the stat position is in the middle, I do not get the full capacity at good temp, I reckon a secondary circuit purely for the cylinder is the best solution. Grundfos...

masking tape lots of then mark out 180mm use starrett style hole saw not draper cheapy, when going through the enamel go fast when you hit the steel slow down abit, paint over bare metal holes with appliance touch up, Done bob's your uncle. :wink: If you aint got high pressure dont use those...

cor aren't we doom and gloom throw away society. :D as above if the shower diverter is spout mounted. If it is top mounted the where the body meets then is similar when the hose is dead bottom of the diverter these are easier, if it is front mounted like on traditional types they can be a...

You sound like it the best solution is to reduce the mains pressure this is done 3 ways a, a pressure reducing valve on the cold supply or b, a pressure balancing valve or C a flow restrictor. Pressure reducing valves I have not found one that gets as low as 0.2bar that works well If anyone...

Most of xwaters taps are designed for 0.2bar pressure (2meters distance between the bottom of the cold water storage tank and the tap spout) but if you had the old style washer type valves in the taps and seperate hot and cold handles they they will not give you the same performance...

Recessed valves have a better flow rate but with your system not really an issue. You can buy plastic sleeving copper pipes in lengths that are split down the centre so they can be fitted after plumbing. http://www.tapstore.com/acatalog/copy_of__SL3_Bar_Shower_Valve.html I have used this...

What Valve is it? How do you heat your water? (stored or mains) Is the cold water stored or mains?

did not read that one right :roll: So whats he doing with hot water plumbed to his toilet :lol: The reason I think it might be air is that he say's he had a bathroom refitted and he has two as quoted "both bathrooms", In a cloakroom basin the flow rate is a lot lower for function so there...

Is it not when Plumbers and heating engineers are trying to get home late on friday night stuck in traffic and some lycra wearing suited Toff jumps the red light sticking his fingers up at you.

If you have only had one bathroom refitted and the old bathroom is lower in pressure than before then either they have fitted extra valves somewhere or they have not bled the system of air properly. Could the downstairs wc be on mains therefore that is why it is not effected.

No thats fair enough I would agree. If Mrrigidtool had plumbed it in with a pressure balancing valve because of me I am deeply sorry :lol:
