Water crystal clear, new boiler, F&E tank ok but air in pump…. could be connections allowing air to be pulled in to pump, could be the normal sound as be boiler fires as kettling is very obvious sound, a type of banging coming from the boiler. Still could add the noise reducing inhibitor, takes...

How did the water look when you bleed all the air bleeds including the rads? Have you checked the water level in the F& E tank? Is this tank water looking clean. Consider adding an inhibitor for the kettling ( Noise )

First thing to do is to vent the pump and you can also see if the shaft turns. Simple , remove the big silver plug with a large screwdriver. Have a bit of paper etc to hand to catch the water that should then come out.

Ok, so above the isolation valve I can see the thread plastic pipe from the inlet fill that has some ptfe tape showing. Once the nut that tightens onto this plastic pipe thread starts to fail, it’s time to have it removed and a Brass inlet threaded unit fitted. Simple job and once done…it’s...

So we inherited the Flomasta as fitted to our system. If you google remarks you will see the reason for it being half the price of others. It’s sold only by Screwfix, that’s my understanding, and it’s a hard plastic. The design has changed and now the inlet/Outlet ports are not off set, not a...

Is it practical/ possible to take one off and back flush it, will give you an idea if it’s and others are still part blocked. *just seen, all new rads

It’s the off set one. Now after more reading, I’m wondering if it might be the internal O ring letting by that acts as the lid seal.

The lid on our Flomasta magnetic filter must have a very small crack as there is now water on the lid. Reading other people experience of this filter also having the same problem. So, I would like to remove it and replace it with a different filter but there is very little room to make any...

Nice update and link to the new part. All I would add is, if possible, fit the inlet fill valve that has the brass thread, will cost a bit more but worth it. As a side note, mine was doing the same. I also renewed the same part ( service kit you listed above ) and then removed the the black...

Only if you want a flooded floor at sometime

Thanks D P and Mottie. Now found the spanner, I must have misplaced it from its usual spot, so the filter service is back on! pete

Can I ask, where can I buy the spanner? I’ve had a google for one and was hoping to pick one up locally pete

Again I totally agree with you Flameport. Thanks for the links, hse . Bernardgreen, ours do have side of gate sensor strips the length of each gate that would have prevented the tragic accident upon closing.

Yes i totally agree. Our gates have all the latest safety parts fitted ie the gate pressure pads that will open the gates if an object should become trapped etc.

Morning, the electric gates we have inherited when we moved in to our home are only opened and closed via the fobs. This works fine if we are at home for us but friends need to phone our mobiles so we can open up and that’s only good if we are at home. Been told that a SIM card can be added...

Im no techie, I have a few smart plugs for simple automation that work very well and a couple of smart cctv cameras. We looked at a new build home that was totally smart, it was very clever but I would be lost if any of the home smart system failed or even played up. Love the idea of smart but...

I’ve now found the information left for us! For others, it’s made by Neco

We have just moved home and I would like some help to identify the garage door opener. I’ve had a good look but can’t see any information. Now hopefully someone will be able to offer some info.

Thanks Ian. It’s on the “to do” list I’ve been given! I was taking the opportunity to find and ask this forum about this change to Hive as I sat and had a tea break from the list I’ve been given and thinking about a bit of forward planning. I will definitely get back and update the forum and...

I never even considered I could come up against problems, I assumed as I would keep in the old logon for hive that it would be a straightforward re-connection with a new receiver and thermostat but I take your point, thanks.
