Q1. The neptune MX thermostatic can be used on high pressure installations. Your combi won't be giving out 5bars pressure anyway :wink: Q2. There are a wide range of showers that can be used with combi's ranging from £75-£1000's! I fit Alterna (grahams range) for cheaper ones and Grohe for...

Sounds like its the gland nut in the valve thats leaking. Older valves have a tendency to leak from there unless they are either turned fully off or fully on, hence why it didn't leak when you turned it off and tightened. Are you turning the valve on and off using the plastic head or have you...

Enough pressure in the system? At least 1 bar

Alterna naro from grahams is about £75 its the cheapest but relatively decent shower that i use, never had any problems with it.

I have the MI's for the turbomax VUW 242 and 282 E if anyone needs them

should be easy to get the ensuit into the mains, just tee into the mains that feeds the header tank, then you have a dedicated cold feed to the pump :D

you may need to clean/replace the impeller in the aquasensor

or do that indeed. Then she can just turn off the rads to the rooms she doesnt go in much.

In my opinion, It would be cost effective for her to buy a modern condensing boiler as it will reduce the gas bills by about 30%. But i'd get quotes from other companies/Independants as BG tend to charge 3 times the normal price for some reason.

why not just keep it where it is with a condensate pump? all the pipeworks already there :D

2 connections, One for the cold water one for the hot water :D cold comes from mains, hot is fed through the boiler. If you decide to go for an electric shower you'll need your sparky to put in a big fat cable, no electrics for mixer showers though. Shouldn't your plumber be sorting out...

sure would.

If you've got a decent cold mains pressure, and dont want to fork out a load for a pressurised hot water system, then i'd put a mixer shower up there running from your combi. Or an electric shower (however i personally dont rate electric showers)

you'd have to pay a fair whack to get your house an unvented hot water system (however it is a very good option if your not on a budget) Mixer showers generally work fine from combi's depending on the water pressure/combi of course. I just been to a house where a Vokera Unica 32he was...

so it's 15 years old, im guessing its a balanced flue terminal? Is is a big square metal box? or is it fan flued/open flued? If its balanced flue, you need a minimum ground clearance of 300mm, but as its been in and working for 15 years already and your replacing it next year.. If the...

What KW combi do you have out of interest. An you will either need a high pressure mixer shower, or a decent electric shower. Modern combi boilers supplying a mixer shower can be extremely powerful and decent showers. Far better than any electric shower you can buy imo.

go to grahams and you can buy a Alterna, Naro thermostatic bar type mixer for about £75 + vat They got a ok range for under £100

Just buy a shower plate (marlo make one) It will make sure you've got the pipes in the correct place, then you can do whatever your doing with the wall around the pipes

nono, just when the ch is calling. Both problems indeed

It's 90% that either your expansion vessel isn't pressurised (you can check it an pressurise it using a foot pump) Or the tube connecting to the EV is blocked. Remove the tube and try blow through it, if you cant then clean it out. Had this problem on a vokera a few months back, exactly the...
