LMFAO...i had one of those days today...still wiping the crap off

If you only rest the bath feet on the tiled floor and if you only butt the bath up against the tiles and only seal and fix using silicone and you do not fit battens then try and imagine this scenario. You step into bath for a shower......you drop soap and it rolls to other end of the...

I have powerflushed quite a few micro bore systems...the last one i did in Bristol was unreal...The crap that came out of it was like no other i had done.. I have had no problems doing them at all.......The only thing i would say is as mentioned have 2 rads open to keep as much water as poss...

Urban myth When you first contact them they send a guy out to look at the set up.....he tells you how close to the path to come with your pipe and how deep he expects you to bury said pipe etc......when you have done this he will come back and make sure you have done it correctly....then in 7...

Someone other than the water company has to get the blue pipe from the path into your house... Then the water company make the connection, which is free No i have only ever used leadloc.....only because thats what i was taught to use and have had no problems with them......

Leadlocs are still the way and treated correctly with some respect they work... I have used a few around here and they are still doing their job ;-) The trick is the clean straight cut on a bit of the lead that isnt dented,squat or misshaped.......and cleaning up the end before joining......i...

Gosh i would need to be jemmyed into this one :lol: Why take out a huge bath and replace it with a pencil case? If you bend over even slightly your arse is gonna touch the cold sides....and not to mention your elbows banging everything and pushing the door open... I would take the...

I cant think of an occassion where i would fit one of these to a radiator....hmmm wait a min *thinks* Nope never.... If it was me i would drain down and replace with a couple £'s lock shield If you dont want to do that then use your imagination as a temp fix while you take the rad off.

Thats a service valve and has no right being put on a radiator. If you turn the screw so it is horizontal then it will be closed You say water spurts out, where from?

I see your problem is not a new one http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1533231#1533231 So did the plumber change the 3 port valve near your tank? The job i have just done with a potterton was the 3 port stuck open (house was empty for 7 months and family before were numptys but...

There are so many more details you need to add...... Name of boiler.... What set up you have.... What controls the boiler (as in the potterton i have just had to sort out was controlled by a wireless room stat and this turned out to be half the problem) Does the boiler run at all and for how...

Then its methodicaly check every pipe run as soon as the pressure drops..... Good luck

Just to 100% take the prv out of the equation stick a ballon over the end of the pipe while you are running the heating........

I own power flushing equipment and a few of my jobs recently have been going in after someone has done a manual flush such as yours.... The problem is the chemical disturbs the crud and muck but the basic flushing doesnt get rid of it... Its possible that some decent size lumps have now...

Its all good... Archie has changed the part and saved himself some money.... It doesnt bother me in the slightest.... Mainly because i dont know him or knows where he lives therefore i wont have to go to his funeral if by an unfortunate twist of fate the seal is not correctly made and the...

Possibly the domestic hot water diverter Diaphragm has a hole in it or is worn etc... Kits are about £15 ish

Just a quick update Did the wireless stat synch as described and that cancelled out the constant red light....many thanks guys.. Also the new pump i fitted was set to run on 3 and i noticed the old pump was set on 1 (micro bore system) so changed that. Gas pressures to boiler was fine and...

Just while i think of it can anyone direct me to a manual for this boiler, Potterton promax HE approx 7 years old ish Neighbor hasnt been left one and also i want to check a few things out for myself.... Been on the potterton site and all i can find is the promax plus boiler.....need to find...
