Hi All, I wonder if someone could help. I've just fitted a replacement monobloc mixer tap, with braided 1/2" flexible hoses. The new hoses provided with the tap contsantly leak when attached to the existing 15mm isolator valve. I would of re-used the existing hoses as they never leaked...

Hi, Try turning the boiler off at the mains for a couple of secs, then on again, and it should clear the buzzing. I get this on my Powermax 185 and it works for me. Give that a try. Cheers,

Yeah, I worked there for 12 years....

Cobblers...... UTTER cobblers, it would never outlast a decent bitumen based membrane (ie Bauder BTRS System).

Yep, definitely the blender valve (Part No. P757). needs replacing, it will be scaled up inside.

I think I would get a second opinon from a reputable local Corgi Engineer, as BG could be trying to rip you off !

Why exactly has Bikerguy been abused in this thread ? He made a perfectly sensible request, only to be responded to in a very bizarre fashion, by a select few. Bikerguy.... Maybe its because a large percentage of plumbers pick and choose their work, and have a reputation for having little in...

Steve, Thanks for the reply. I think it must be a partial blockage then, it sounds like its blocked at the pump, I'll have to get someone in to sort it out, I can't work out whats going on with it, and don't want to make it worse than it already is, as we have hot water, just no central...

When I release the radiator valves upstairs all that comes out is clear water, no air at all. If my description is vague, what other info can I offer to clarify the situation. How can a blocked feed pipe be cleared, jet of water ? Thanks,

Twgas, When you turn the central heating on there appears to be a blockage/gurgle sound from the pump itself. I've tried bleeding the pump and the radiators, and air 'seems' to release from the pump when you undo the connection with an allan key. the F&E tank doesn't re-fill when water is...

No, its not either of those. Thanks for your reply.

Got a Powermax 185 boiler, tested the central heating the other day and it was fine, a few days later I had to drain a radiator downstairs, then when I tested the heating it didn't come on ? I've checked the pump, and it definitely works, as its turning inside the bleed valve. Although water...

Yes, I know Dangermouse. I have diagnosed the problem as a blocked cold feed pipe from the F&E tank into the boiler itself. As the F&E tank doesn't refill when you attempt to drain off from one of the downstairs radiators. The sludge collection from the tank must of been drawn into the...

John, Yes, water forcefully exits every radiator the second I start to try to bleed it, so no air can be in the radiators. I assume there is a build up of air in the system accumulated from when I re-filled the F&E tank ??? But how can I remove it ? Also, there was a lot of black slime in...

Thanks Dangerous, Yes, I tried releasing the screw slowly, and water gently dribbled out, but it hasn't cured the problem. I checked the pipework feed into the F&E tank and it had a fair bit of gunge in it, so I cleaned the section of pipe out and replaced it. How do I get the air from the...

Hi, Just drained the central heating system, and now the pump makes a whirring noise, and the central heating doesn't come on. Does it just need bleeding ?

Ian Palmer, the Bauder Surveyor ?? Nice chap.

Ok, Breyer are their biggest customer !! Im not convinced on the hot melt type systems. They can be good where awkward detailing is conerned, apart from that I'd stick with torch applied membranes.

Hi Xenon, what contractor do you work for ? I worked for Bauder Ltd for many years at their head office. Their systems have always been top of the range. Cheers,

I would imagine Lagan is fed up of seeing all the aimless text Softus and Nickso are commiting to this post, typically with no sound advice of any substance or basis it seems.
