Yes, there is a grundfos pump set to number 2. Measuring the flow like at the boiler, with the boiler set to max and the room stat all the way up, the flow pipe gets to 74 when it cuts off, at this time the return is at 56. When it fires up again a few minutes later the flow is at 61 and...

When I opened them a little (about half a turn) I can hear a huge gushing noise so I opened it a little more and it went away, perhaps that didn't help It's a potterton profile 50e. The temperature was low because I turned the boiler temp control down to 2 as one of the tutorials advised...

Hello :mrgreen: i'm currently trying to balance my radiators having replaced them all during this years renovations, but am having a little trouble i hope someone can help with :?: I have replaced the old single slab rads with shiney new Kudox type 22s and fitted some TRVs. The...

I've got 2 wall lights in my living room which are connected through a dimmer switch and i cant stop them flashing They are 12v halogen and have an integral transformer. They say they are dimmable with induction dimmer which is what i have. The same dimmer switch works fine with a...

were you touching the metal contacts on your multimeter? been there before!

I got some filler paint from toolstation, was about £25 for 5l it did cover up the minor imperfections (very minor) like pinholes in my ceiling but anything bigger than a mm it didnt help

I moved house back in October and had painted 2 rooms before going to b&q with the intention of buying some Dulux and found Valspar. I thought id take a chance so picked a colour i liked and did the third room with it ... i was SO impressed with the ease of application, vibrancy of colour and...

The shower does have a dedicated supply by means of its own RCBO in the CU :) I don't mind forking out a few quid more for the 10.5 KW model (i guess that must be adequate in almost all circumstances as its pretty much as big as they get) nor paying someone to come in and do it, what i really...

Hello everyone Background I currently have a power shower which is fed by the hot and cold tanks in the loft. It's not ideal because our boiler is very old and inefficient and also the tank quite small so we have to wait a while for it to heat up again before someone else can use the...

Yes, and its much more than i was wanting to spend so i'm looking at other options i never said i wasn't going to pay a professional to do it properly, just looking at other options, But thanks anyway for this helpful remark

I currently have an open fire which i though had a 16" milner fireback. I am looking into getting a wood burning stove fitted however, the quotes i had for knocking out the existing fireplace, making new and fitting the wood burner came to £2500 - £3000 :shock: Next i toyed with the idea...

The hot water supply comes off both the domed top and teed off the vent, and after are joined together

Thanks :) this is going to be a fun project :lol:

not entirely sure what a secondary return is, or why i would need one :?:

but if i stood the tank up, the vent would be out the top and this outlet redundant?

actually i have no idea where the cold water in is, maybe its round the back

haha my only query is that i seem to have an extra pipe. (how it should be...) flow and return to / from boiler on the side, cold feed on the bottom hot feed and expansion at the top but there's also an extra one at the side (top in the last picture) ... what's that for??

should i try and get it stood up?

Heres some photos, i hope it makes sense what i'm trying to show. Boiler flow and return pipes this just leads to a drain valve (note the domed-in uninsulated side (bottom?)) this is the left side (which i suspect is supposed to be the top) which leads to the shower and...
