    Radiater bleeding

    I am intrigued, first you say you have invented a bleeding device, then this becomes a device for draining off a radiator for removal. I have just fitted Pegler valves to do just this, so that in the future I can drain down radiator solely. If you have a device that does away with bowls...

    Radiator Drain down valve

    Just drained down my system so everything is empty of water, well almost. All my downstairs rads are fed from upstairs and whilst I have drown outlets on each one, these only drain the pipes and the radiators all together. On one radiator I have a drain down valve incorporated into the...

    Will I be OK on this & will it work?

    Thanks jackpike thats seems sensible. The video was a bit noisy but as I understand, take off one rad to use as inlet and outlet. Then close all rads down, bar one and flush, HOW LONG?, then close this one down and open up another and repeat flushing procedure. When you say open up fully...

    Will I be OK on this & will it work?

    Thanks guys, the water is off colour rather, more weak cola than black, Gulf of Mexico. I did not realise that you could put in cleaner for a long time, I was thinking of using Fernox - would that be OK for say a month. Drain it down, refill with protector and thats it - do you agree...

    Will I be OK on this & will it work?

    Unvented system. Everything works well but having changed AAV, thanks for your advice, I noticed dirty water and "bits" when I let out the pressure through the "out" pipe below boiler attached to mains inlet. I propose putting cleaner in system running for say 4 hours and then draaining down...

    How do you guys clean systems in the summer

    sorry should have said Vokera 35e Mynute, not combi, sealed unvented system. Fitted about 5 years ago, the water is not that bad but it is darker than I would like and has a few bits in it. The actual heating is fine, no problems, just thought whilst I was "messing" about could get the system...

    How do you guys clean systems in the summer

    A lot of you guys helped me out a few weeks ago. As always thank you; I followed your advice and have fitted the new AAV and leak cured. Think, as you said, there was crud in the system as the water that came out was a pretty poor colour. I had thought to put in some more Fernox Protector...

    GU10 21 LED Lamp

    PLease can someone tell me in simple language about the above, I just dont understand lumens. I have ordinary 35/50 watt mains lamps as above, dotted around the house. The thought of basically not having to change them, whilst balanced precariously on the kitchen chair, appeals. However I...

    Installing two showers

    I really do not understand the replies I have read. Some five years ago I converted a very large upstairs playroom into two large bedrooms with ensuites. The distance from the "tanks" in my vented system was such that the showers hardly trickled. Thanks to help from Bahco, if I remember...

    Vokera Mynute 35e

    Thanks guys, as always your advice is invaluable. I have now found where I can purchase the part - £6.43 + vat and having looked at the manual as suggested it just says unscrew with appropriate rounded "pliers" which I have. I would like to have a go at doing this. One small problem do I...
