    pump constantly on even when boiler is off (PICS)

    I believe the boiler is a Glowworm ulitmate 30? using a honeywell C27, the settings if 'OFF' but the pump can still be heard, not really played with the panel yet. There is no setting on the pump except for the speed settings.

    pump constantly on even when boiler is off (PICS)

    is there somewhere I can check the running time? I think its the central heating but it could just be for the whole hot water system. I've just noticed this because I can hear the humming when I'm in bed, though not so bad but sometimes find it annoying.

    Hi guys, The radiators in the house hasnt been used for a while, guessing almost a year. They all work, some work better than others (the better ones have a thermostate valve), the kitchen one doesnt get hot/warm at all. I've tried releasing air hoping that was it but water came out...

    no hot water in ensuite shower but everywhere else

    check valve is in the mixer right? Is it common for the hot water pipe one to jam and the cold side being ok? I think its best i buy the same one again as the large hole in the wall can only be covered by triron lp. I'll be happy if i get water flow from both pipes. Will report back...

    no hot water in ensuite shower but everywhere else

    well i'll try the airlock way first, tho not very hopeful. failing that, i'll dismantle the mixer shower unit and hope that there will be water flowing out of the hot water pipe. If that fails, i'm at a lost :cry:

    no hot water in ensuite shower but everywhere else

    i turnt off all the water as there was no label at the time when i was trying to fit my new mixer shower (which i later refunded cos it will expose the current holes). So i put it back to what it was. I know the cold water works because i turnt it off at the valve in the loft. The true...

    no hot water in ensuite shower but everywhere else

    the shower head is about 1m or less. But i took the hose connected to the mixer tap off so i can see if any water will come out. so to answer your 2nd question, no water comes out at all when just the cold water valve off.
