Many thanks guys....think i will let this one slip to be honest.....i dont need the extra hassle at the moment... And she is a typical farmer and haggled the price a bit... Cheers

Your boiler pressure you speak of has nothing to do with your hot water pressure....Thats the pressure inside the sealed heating circuit.... You say the water is very hot elsewhere which points to your shower being faulty...... You could check the filters in the shower (if they were fitted)...

Hi guys, feel like a numpty here but i have been asked to power flush a farmers heating system....this i have no problem with... The thing is i have never ever dealt with oil fired anything let alone a Rayburn/boiler run on oil....... So In theory all i will be doing is taking of a rad...

His soldering looks quite neat.....maybe he watched the "flux" instructional video on youtube......

You were obviously happy with the quote to begin with because you let him carry out the work? I quite often tell my customers the job "may" run into a few days...and i also often bust a gut when i know it has to be done quickly......i would presume a place that has tenants living in it would...

I had no gas meter in a flat i renovated..... I had to pay for the gas to be taken to the property but they sent someone out to fit it...free of charge....but again maybe it is because you are a business or the rules have changed since i had mine done...2 years now

Yea i kinda worded that wrong.....wrote it before my coffee this morning... I have a Kamco Clearflow CF 30 classic What i meant was although the water is pushed around at high velocity its still low pressure so wont blow micro bore up.... And i have successfully flushed a fair few micro...

Jackie worst case scenario is you need the filling loop replaced.... keep us informed..

Ask around your friends for a reliable plumber/Gas engineer.....this repair is out of your range i think....... Ask at the local papershop to if they would recommend anyone......dont just stab a name in a phone book.....

Nonsense The power flushing unit pumps the water around at the same speed as your boiler would... The difference being the ability to instantly change the water direction at a flick of a switch....this is what dislodges and kicks out the crud.... The only scare warning i give my customers...

Morning Jackie When you added more water to your system did you have to turn 2 small black knobs (for want of a better word) or did you have to use a flat screwdriver. It does sound as though the place where you added more water is still letting the water back in...

I have to ask this which is probaly going to turn out to be a stupid question, but how on earth did the Gas pressure manage to get itself all the way down to 2mb? And how on earth has this boiler worked like this? Instead of re-adjusting said gas pressure i am more inclined to think...

What is it with you people? Are you self employed? Do you know how much it costs in money and time to put yourself through the training and exams to be allowed to be one of these "muppets" who are allowed to play with your boiler? Do you know how much it costs each year to stay...

Hmmm, just noticed its a new build... You have a hot water cylinder? If yes then its the 3 port valve....

Its probaly the 3 port valve stuck in the open position. When the water in the tank gets up to temp it sends a message to close the 3 port valve to heating only, if its stuck open this wont happen and your hot water will continue to cook....

I have done this before yes.... But this was on one of my own houses and i was happy with it...

I dont deal with Gas fires as i think they have no place in a modern home.... But please take Mrgassafes advise and get someone in with the LPG ticket.. Put your postcode into the gas safe website and the engineers names will come up and it will show you what they are legaly ticketed to...

Washing machine connected to hot and cold feeds. Here is a little tip for you. Disconnect the HOT feed to your washing machine... Reason: You start washing machine on its cycle Washing machine calls for hot water. Valve opens and Boiler senses this, flicks its diverter valve to Hot water...

You might think about fitting a water softener before the boiler Just out of curiosity have you plumbed your washing machine in using both the Hot and Cold feeds to the washing machine?

Has the diaphragm been changed in the DHW diverter valve? If not give it a couple of weeks and you will have no hot water ;-) A power flush will have no effect on your DHW unless you connect as i said in an earlier post
