I have used some of their products in the past when tiling a kitchen floor, always heard good things about them.

Hi All I have recently built a couple of small retaining walls, one is a raised flowerbed. Having considered rendering them or perhaps modern pebbledash, we have finaly decided to mozaic tile them. We would just buy some cheap white glazed bathroom tiles and break them ourselves. I...

I don't have a combi - its a a pressurised hot water system with a hot water tank.

Would a standard 15mm mixer unit like this:- http://www.screwfix.com/p/pegler-prestex-tmv2-thermostatic-mixing-valve-15mm/26411 Be suitable for my needs? I could pre-set the max temperature and I presume it must have some sort of back-flow prevention otherwise the cold water could...

Yes it will thanks. Max 40 Deg C, which is why I thought a mixer unit may work....

Maybe depends what temp water you fed it on? Even the basic Karcher models will accept 40 degree C hot water....

Hi Guys I have standard outside tap plumbed in under my kitchen sink. Drive and garage are around 12m away from the house. This time of year its a pain to keep the cars clean and to remove as much salt as possible. I would like to use some of the hot water stored in my hot water tank...

Ok, I've tried again. Used jubilee on outside tap as well this time but I just get watter ****ing out inside. Seems to be from the knurled bit just around from the square valve.... Pic here of valve on right:- Could it be that this is a one way valve and only alows water to drain...

I did indeed use a jubilee clip! As soon as I opened the drain valve water started seeping from the side of the valve, when I then opened the outside tap it started spraying out indoors (From both drain valve and side of pipe) and even hose fitting on tap outside started pouring water.....

Unfortunately the hosepipe didn't work. :shock: Because its a 3 storey house the water pressure in the drain valve seemed to high for the pressure from the outside tap and I just ended up with water spraying out inside and out..... I will create a more permenant solution in the airing...

I know that! :roll: But is there any preference as to where abouts in it? Another thought, with my current system where would you add system additives? and should I add something at the same time to make this easier?

The low pressure is partly my fault. It was already low but I then opened the pressure relief valve when diagnosing other problems. I also bled all radiators which further reduced the pressure. I will either use the hosepipe or may consider fitting a filling loop. Any advice on fitting...

Hi No, definately not. No tank in loft and is pressurised system. I presume there's nothing I seem to be missing from the pics you have seen? Strangely there is a 15mm pipe bridging the input and output pipes on the storage tank with a gate valve in it. What would this be for and...

Can anyone offer any advice/suggestions? Thx Paul

As requested a few photos:- First top of the boiler, as you can see just flow and return pipes here:- Bottom of the boiler, just gas and condense waste pipes:- Ok Airing Cupboard pics:- Hope these help?

there is definately NOT one around the boiler, only gas, water in, water out and condense trap pipes. Gauge is on one of pipes in/out boiler and then it links to a pipe outside for overflow. There is no fresh water main pipework near the boiler to act as a filling loop. The only place...

hi thx for the link, read through all of that and i understand the concept of the filling loop but there isn't one! at least not one that is obvious. definately nothing around the boiler and if its in the airing cupboard then its made of copper and not braided hose. all the valves in the...

Hi My recent house has an ICOS HE15 boiler with a Santon Premier Plus pressurised system. After problems with 'L' 'F' flashiong I have removed and cleaned the condense trap which has now fixed that. However just above the boiler in the pipework is a pressure gauge and release valve...
