    poor water pressure

    By the way, I have the spec as 1000mm high, 600mm wide. No idea of the depth. Is this the same machine you were referring to? Product code is MB240200.

    poor water pressure

    Thanks for the advice. I've just rung Grunfos who've explained in great detail the benefits of their integrated tank and pump which I'm going to purchase shortly. Is this something you have installed before and can I have your work number to contact you for a quote?

    poor water pressure

    Many of the freeholders who own flats in the building live abroad and don't want to spend money on a problem which doesn't affect them. I own the only flat on the top floor and therefore am singled out. Given the circumstances, I may have to compromise on efficiency. Will the Grufoss Home...

    poor water pressure

    The cold water supply to my flat is very poor - about 0.5 bars. I have spoken to Thames Water who say they are required by law to supply good pressure to the 3rd floor only. But I'm on the 6th floor of a large Victorian building. They say that I may install a pump straight off the cold water...

    pump to boiler or to tank

    My very old Valiant combi boiler needs to be replaced. Nat Grid capped off the supply after I smelt gas and the plumber who came later couldn't get the rusted pump off. It appears to be truly welded to the pipe work inside the boiler. Anyway, it's a very old gas guzzling open flame pilot...

    immersion timer and booster

    I need an immersion timer with a booster button that can be controlled. For example, I would like to set the booster to come on for just 15 to 20 minutes and then to switch itself off. Does anyone know of a digital immersion time with this specification?

    lcd thermostats for underfloor heating

    I have managed to dig up some information about the floor mats from I can get very little heat. They are 1600 watt and 1.5m2, but I don't yet know who makes them. I wonder if the Timeguard thermostats that were installed by the developers are unsuitable for the mats. If they are, can...

    immersion heater and thermostat

    The plumber told me that the thermostat was with auto cut-out. But I don't understand why it failed to stop the water overheating. The wires were definitely connected. I triple checked them. What I did notice when removing the thermostat was that the side of the plastic head had melted. When...

    immersion heater and thermostat

    I didn't check the temperature with a thermometer but with my hands. The water was scolding. This morning, I unwired the immersion thermostat which had clearly melted from the heat and was no longer functioning. I took it to the plumbing shop where I bought it. After examining it, they...

    Having posted the below message and received answers that there might be a bad connection, I checked the wiring but couldn't see anything wrong. Nonetheless, I removed the thermostat and wired back in. Unfortunately, after just half an hour of the heating being on, the water is still...
