Sorry I did not explain it properly. they are 9kw instant electric showers with built in pump - single cold pipe from header tank Mains pressure is a bit better in the kitchen sink than the hot tap in the kitchen sink (which is fed from the immersion heater tank in the hall) - but not that...

It at my daughters house they live away from us. I am almost sure it has an Interlock or load sharing in the CU so both showers can not be used at same time. having awful trouble with showers (both identical ones in the en-suite and main bathroom, MIRA pumped ones, with their own internal...

is this do-able and will it work? - are pumps better to 'push out' the water or better to 'pull/suck' the water through? if you have your twin propellor pump with its 1 shaft running but 2 propellors are running but shower number 1 is not going but shower number 2 is operating would that (or...

Hi all, I saved a fridge freezer from going into landfill or wherever they go from a neihbours house (with their consent) , a lovely one hisense the make is (looks to be sold by currys in the past) with a cold water dispenser it needed drying out (was left out in rain for about 5 days) and a...

Hello all. Can you tell me what is a Air Breaker Box on a Dishwasher and what does it do please? Just bought a used Kenwood Dishwasher KDW60s16 couple of days ago . Seems to be working fine - only thing is , annoying if anything, there is a groan noise at around 45mins left of a 90min cycle...

I've not long had a new Beko vented Tumble dryer and couldn't understand why I was getting static electric shocks as I was pulling out the clothes after drying but now I think I find the cause. Although the metal cabinet on the tumble dryer is earthed (I tested to the earth pin on the 13a plug...

SOLVED: Thanks all - cleaned out all the dust and fluff from the element and pressed reset on the lower cut out (or is NTC correct term for it) and fired it up and it heats now . I thought I had reset then bottom one loast night but i couldnt have . The top one, well that still is open circuit...

ok thanks, I will give it a go i kinda wanted more to know though if the top cut-out device was supposed to be open circuit or closed circuit though still, in normal operation all the time .. or should there be any resistance at all. in other words when you go to check the non-resettable top...

Thanks for the reply. If the safety cut-out(s) has failed though then I would get no voltage present at the element as well though. I am also wondering if the top cut out is normally open or wether it has some kind of resistance in normal circumstances or if its normally closed when drier is...

Hi - got a Beko Condenser Tumble dryer not heating. Took back off which covers the heater , load of dust and fluff around the heating elements - removed all that. there are 2 cut out safety devices at top of heater bottom cut out device is re-settable , pushed the reset pin in and got a...

I photographed our Tigerloop the other day - seems a lot of water/condensation in the top of our Tigerloop, does this look normal? - I've never had a Tigerloop before so i didnt know if its normal? is that what is supposed to happen? or could there be some water getting into tank or oil? - I...

only 1 more thing I have to get my head around is that if you have a FrostStat set to 5c and a pipe stat set to 30c then does the pipe stat ever get to 30c? - because surely when the inside of the outside boiler module reaches a temperature of 5c (which I should imagine it does very quickly due...

ah right , because its on the permanent live? - so if you wired the pipe stat at 30c on the permanent live and not the switched live then that would work ... but as wildcat pointed out - fuel wastage

i hear/read 2 different settings for the frost stat some sites say 5c .. then some say 0c - i have just set ours at 3-4c - on some grant condenser boilers (could be vortex) they have a non adjustable frostat set at 5c at the factory. If you had a pipe stat wired up as in diagram 1 at 30c I...

Thanks very much all - re wiring of the pipe stat is Diagram 1 right or Diagram 2 correct thanks?

in the instructions on our Grant Euroflame outdoor kerosene oil boiler it says that a pipe state fitted to the return water pipe may be fitted to offer frost protection and that it shall be set at 30 degrees centigrade. If water freezes at 0c i wonder why they say to set the stat at 30c ? -...

I used to hear years ago that the UK and Ireland used to have 'seperate' hot and cold taps at the sink for a valid good reason , that it was by law (water laws) so that the water mains (cold) was seperate from the (hot water system) coming from the storage tank up in the loft. citing that the...

So, we didnt actually get around to answering the question about if a RECI installer checked the premises which was wired up before 2008> regulations - would they base the installation on pre 2008 regulation or would they say it has to be up to date regulations? i.e. if before 2008 regs it said...

if the house was wired up in 2007 (which it was, its written in the CU on a label) and the house was built around 2007 but the regulations changed/updated in 2008 would a RECI keep the wiring/consumer unit at 2007 regs or would they update it to the latest 2008> regulations? - in other words I...

Thank you for the extensive reply - really appreciate it and get it now. - I looks like we have the TNCS system then at our house and a earth rod put in for extra protection, so one doesnt have to rely on other (IE if network earth system fails we still have earth rod system protection ... and...
