Hi everyone a few points to make from such as interesting and informative read this thread has become. You are right this conversation started with me asking about the earth wire being labelled weak by the electrician who tested it which then made me question if that was related to the hot...

Thank you to everyone for all of your input and sorry if things have gone slightly off topic as I am sure you are all just trying to help out and I have certainly learned a lot from the thread. I will get a professional to sort the issues out in my flat and will keep you updated. Thanks again...

How does this look where the filling loop connection is: The pipes under the boiler: To the far right the cold water inlet valve (stopcock) which turns off the water when turned fully clockwise and full on pressure of hot water when turned fully anti clockwise: Is the cold water inlet valve...

MikeinLondon thank you what you have said makes a lot sense but I have a few questions which I hope anyone can help me out with and thank you in advance. A gas person checked the gas meter (received a gas safety certificate)and said it was fine but a gas engineer has never checked or serviced...

Hi and thank you to everyone for the input and there are some good points which I need to look into. The guy who did the PAT testing stayed for about 3 hours and when he left said that he would have to return after the landlord agrees to what needs to be done in regards of the earth wire...

Hi everyone, A P.A.T test was carried out in my flat a few days ago and the guy said that the earth wire is very weak. What does that mean and what needs to be done about it as the landlord will need to be informed at some point. From what I know and see 5 years ago the earth wires were...

What is a PRV, where is it located in a flat and how is it installed? I think there may backflow from the combi boiler into my hot water supply, the boiler is small in comparison to the outlets it is providing water for and it was hooked up to the old radiators which heated by the old hot water...

Yeah that's right it is a old feed and water tank, and before the combi boiler was installed there was no combi boiler in the flat. There was a hot water cylinder in the storage room where the water tank is and a gas fire in the living room, then it was pulled out and central heating put in...

Thanks for that piece of info, just wondering what the purpose of the black water tank in the storage cupboard was used for? It was in use before the boiler was installed (4 years ago)

Hi everyone this question is related to the cold-water supply and the hot water piping. The kitchen cold tap is connected to the cold-water mains which supplies the entire building/street with cold/clean drinking water. The hot water taps in the kitchen and bathroom are heated via the combi...

So should I then adjust it by turning the black square 'water flow, so open it fully, and then turn back fractionally'. After 5 turns the stopcock is fully open (anti-clockwise) how many turns should I turn it clockwise from the fully open position?:) Specs of the boiler are: Heat input...

I ran the hot water tap in the bath and it filled an 11 litre bucket in 50 seconds is that okay? The only thing which turns on the boiler pipes is the cold water inlet stopcock nothing else that I can see. The cold water inlet stopcock (picture attached) seems to control the hot water pressure...

Thanks again and later on I will see how long it takes to fill a bucket of hot water. The model of the boiler from what I can see is: Vokera compact 29a combi boiler

Wow thank you for the information I certainly need to check a few things in regards of the combi boiler. The flat was empty for 2 months before I moved in and I was given a booklet in how to operate the boiler (can't say I understand it I am dyslexic) but this forum has been more useful than...

Thanks Doggit, Madrab great advice and you're right I do have a combi boiler (Vokera combi 29) which I believe was installed 4 years ago, it has a wireless thermostat which is a bit too high tech for me nonetheless I will figure out how to set it because the heating doesn't come on yet it is...

Erm I am not quite sure what has kicked off on the thread as I just wanted to know about the hot water setting on the combi boiler and the cold inlet stopcock. Regardless of the banter thank you Tony, Steelmasons, Slippyr4, Terry, Madrab you all helped a rather ditzy newbie who moved into a new...

Thank you for the info so far, on the DHW dial which number would be about 55-60 degrees Celsius? (1-10) Also on the boiler is the cold water inlet stopcock meant to be turned fully anti-clockwise because I turned it is all the way clockwise and it turned the hot water off and now by turning it...

Hi I have attached a picture of my combi boiler sorry it isn't very clear. The left side is the radiator dial and the right side is the hot water dial. The water isn't very hot in the bathroom and it is odd that when I turn the sink/bath tap fully the hot water is cool yet when I turn it...

Hi forum some or any advice would be very helpful, thanks: How do I reset a boiler, is there a button or something I should look for or turn off the mains? Can I reset a wireless thermostat and does it control the hot water or just the central heating? Which way do I set the valves...
