Yes it was suggested to me before. Any idea of the costs for that? I ask because I dont trust my plumber :)

Hi guys and thanks for the replies. Sounds quite straight forward. By the way...if I were to call a plumber for this, how much do you think that it would cost? (including the price of a new vessel).

Hello guys, could someone help me please. I need to replace this red expansion vessel that is leaking: http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/V.Zografos/pic2.jpg so I decided to do it myself because the plumber who is servicing my building basically cannot be trusted and he always charges people...

ok cheers guys thanks for the info. By the way, is replacement of these things difficult (i.e. should I call a plumber) or can I do it myself? I am not bad at DIY :lol: but I am not sure how to replace it. I obviously have to turn of the main water supply and empty the boiler yes...

Hi, can somebody tell me what this red thing is? http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/V.Zografos/pic1.jpg http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/V.Zografos/pic2.jpg It is installed near the water pump (I believe onto to the hot water pipe). It started leaking a few days ago (not too much though) and I...

Hi, I laid some tiles on the floor and I am about to grout them. Unfortunately some of them have been chipped in the corners or allong their edges. Not very big chips just a surface chip but it doesnt look that good. Is there any way to cover these chips? (the colour of the tiles is short of...

Ok guys, thanks very much for everyone's help. I think I'll just remake the joint tomorrow and get it over with Vasileios

By the way guys, are these pipes and joints, nuts etc some standard size? 15mm?

Cute. By the way I didn't mention anything about my qualifications. He did. And I don't have a PhD yet (and from the looks of it I probably never will). I only put the image on my homepage because frankly I dont have any other space to host it online.

I know, I get the same exact feeling when I look in the mirror every morning. Oh come one man....I used aligned tables with borders and everything.... Anyway, I really appreciate the help. Thanks. (And to think that I had decided to have a quiet night in, have a pizza, watch a movie...

Oi....stop surfing at my homepage :D Hey, if it was a computer I would fix it, but plumbing? no way... Anyway, dont you have PhD's in...Nepal (?)

By the way, I can turn the 15mm nut but I don't have any tool for the nylon one. What tool do I need for that? Also, the rubber pipe is dry, so the problem is not from that. It think you might be right. I might need to redo the joint if tightening does not work.

what about epoxy putty? Its a very slow leak. (1 drop / min)

Hi everybody, I need some help identifying where a leak comes from. I have the following pipe and I suspect its leaking from (at least) one of the three places I marked with the arrows. My guess is from the top of this grey plastic "nut" because its wet there. However, when I tip that blue...

Ian :D

FIXED IT. Actually it was that the brown wire from the thermostat had burned and it was touching the metal on which the earth was connected. In other words the earth and live from the thermostat where touching. How strange :) Anyways, I shielded the brown wire with some electric resistant...

So let me get this straight, If I need to remove the thermostat I DONT need to drain but if I need to remove the whole immersive heater I NEED to drain. Is that correct? I do apologise for the persistence :lol: but I am a newbie in these things after all. Regards, Vaskunito

Hi everyone, It seems that my water heater has stoped working. Well, more specifically, when it turns on (via the timer) sparks come out of the immersion heater and it trips the fuse. I was wondering then if it is a problem with the thermostat in the immersion heater. My water heater has...
