    DPS thermal store DHW performance

    If the plate heat exchanger is in the body of water, then I can't see the benefit, you may as well use a coil, as it now requires the addition of a pump to transfer the heat

    DPS thermal store DHW performance

    Personally I prefer to use plate heat exchangers as they were designed to be used, these companies trying to use it in different ways is oftened flawed in my opinion, coils belong in stores imo

    confused on which boiler to choose

    This is a pointless question to ask on here, as each installer will recommend his preferred manufacture, who the next installer will criticise, so you will never get a definitive answer, my own personal preference would be either ATAG or Viessmann boilers, but they are my personal preferred...

    Redoing bathroom cost

    There is no point asking here, no one can see the job, your best option is to get more quotes, minimum 3, but you can get as many as you want

    DPS thermal store DHW performance

    johnsville, I am sorry I disagree, for what a plate heat exchanger does it would not be placed in a body of water as this would reduce its efficiency to pass its heat to the intended supply on the other side of the plate, as it would be losing heat to the surrounding water, the heat exchangers...

    DPS thermal store DHW performance

    A plate heat exchanger would not be inside a store, it would be external, only coils are placed within the store A plate heat exchanger is used to separate water supplies, you would have heating water one side of the plate and the water requiring heating in this case your DHW on the other side...

    Outside tap - swap from hot to cold?

    Nothing wrong with hot outside tap, it all depends what purpose it was installed for, I have an outside tap on a blending valve so I can wash my dog down outside

    Drain Smell Problems

    It is not a lash up, these wastes come with the sink units, you cannot install a trap directly to the sink outlet. I would say it is most likely the washing machine connection that is causing the smell

    Problems with Stelrad

    It is quite likely that air was the problem of the corrossion, but that is irrelevent, Stelrad have stated in their report that flux was the cause of the leak, the OP only needs to prove to them that this is not the cause, as I said an email to everflux shoulkd resolve the matter as in my...

    Problems with Stelrad

    I think everyone is missing the point, with all this talk about oxygen precence and swarf, in the OP's post he clearly stated that Stelrad tests results stated "They said that there were flux deposits in the system and that these deposits had eaten through the radiators". So Stelrad are...

    Problems with Stelrad

    What flux did you use, it may be worth contacting the flux manufacturer and asking them if they believe their flux could do this to a radiator, in my opinion most fluxes disolve in water, so it would not have the ability to eat through steel, you need as much ammunition as you can get, so get a...

    gas again

    You keep banging on about this and yet you are not qualified to advise on gas, nor have you given advice on gas. It is usually those who are not qualified who bleat on and on about RGI's not giving advice on gas, if you want to advice on whatever it is you are qualified in, then go ahead...

    I really dont think this is quite what I expected....

    Contact your local TV news and local radio and Newspapers, let them know how BG treat their customers and what shoddy work they carry out, it is about time big companies like BG felt the wrath of the customer, we have the power to destroy the likes of BG but the British choose to accept rubbish...

    I really dont think this is quite what I expected....

    Don't bother contacting Corgi about this, they are in bed with BG and will bend over backwards to protect them, go straight to the HSE, also post the pictures to Rogue traders. It seems obvious to me that if the correct procedures had been carried out you could of had a replacement BBU, who...

    I am not sure why the card is issued by the STA, the only reson I can see is the dreaded competent persons scheme, they are probably looking ahead to creating a competent person scheme for solar and the STA are in the best position to run one

    sorry i may of mis lead you... Viessmann qualification does not get you on the low carbon programme. Just to correct you, the Viessmann course does not lead to a qualification.

    They are separate, you need BPEC now to get onto the Low Carbon Buildings Programme, formally Clear Skies, the Viessmann course is just for their products, it will not get you onto any schemes, I have never known Viessmann to inspect installations

    I am not interested in China or the USA I am only interested in the country where I live. It is a question of payback with a new boiler, as you say if it is stuffed you need to replace it as you need heating & hot water, but fossil fuel is running out, it is not a question of if, but when, so...

    But you can integrate panels into the roof, you can't do that with tubes, integrated panels look much neater then tubes ever can, anyway I can get evacuated panels, so the argument of tubes been more efficient goes out the window

    So Chris, in your opinion solar is a bad investment, so lets all carry on using fossel fuels, pay through the nose, ruin the enviroment and then run out of fossil fuels, what then? Back in the 60's people had the same attitude with central heating, it was too expensive and only for the rich, if...
