Thanks for the info. The plumber said he'd replace both isolators at the same time he fits the new pump. Yes the isolators are as above.

Thanks for the quick response. I'm OK with electrics but won't touch the plumbing and will therefor get a guy in. Can you tell me apart from a new pump will the isolator valve need replacing and then if so will the system have to be drained?

My CH system blew it's fuse this morning. It appears that the pump is the culprit and confirmed by removing the live. There has been a leak around the pump for a while I assume as there is a lot of black sludge and oxidization. When the CH came on this morning there was a strange noise in it's...

My 30 year old float valve (bottom fill) is making a terrible whine after flushing a during refill. Assuming that it is the whole unit and not the diaphragm washer that needs changing. Is it OK to replace it with a compact Fluidmaster type valve ie. I don't have to source an old fashioned valve...

Thanks for the replies. What timescale would the guarantee extend to ie. 12 months?

Would work carried out for and by a high street bathroom shop be guaranteed. My son had a complete bathroom fit carried out 10 months ago. The shower unit had developed a leak and making it's way to the downstairs ceiling. He is yet to contact the shop before understanding his rights (assuming...

I have flexible ducting distances bathroom ceiling to fan 4ft and fan to soffit 6ft. Extending distance from bathroom doesn't improve noise. Not while under shower but the 15 minutes spent in the bathroom afterwards. Comparing my fan noise to my sons makes mine noisy. His was fitted during a...

Yes, will that help and if yes, will it affect it's suction power?

https://www.powerdiscount.co.uk/manrose-2100-internal-circular-wall-grille-4quot-100mm-4481-p.asp I have removed the grill section and it is no quieter as a 100mm hole

I have fitted a Manrose in-line fan in my loft for my bathroom. As previously mentioned by others the fan itself is very quiet. However the noise from the extraction grill is far louder than I imagined. Although it is reassuring to hear the power of the fan drawing air through the vent I would...

Yes

Yet to decide on final solution for the switching of the fan when I stumble into another problem (for me that is) The manufacturer states the requirement of 3A fusing as well as an isolator. I found http://www.qvsdirect.com/excel-3-pole-fused-fan-isolator-switch-white which I assume would...

Looking at the link https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/MK2056.html where the two loose ends are connected is anyones guess. As a layman I assumed one would have needed a N and the other SL. I cannot find any info anywhere. Another one I found...

It would be an option just using 2 of the 6 teminals just to switch the live. But as previously suggested it might be a bit clunky. I assume they are not meant to be used very often - only for maintenance? BTW you understand what I'm getting at

I must be going mad here. I know it will be obvious because of the neon being off. That is why I asked that question in post 1 as to whether the neon only require a neutral or whether it wouldn't work if the load wasn't switched with neutral as well ie. will it work with a single neutral wire...

I'm unable to chase walls out to facilitate a switch on the landing and the existing light switch in the bathroom is a pull type fitted just inside the bathroom.

I believe not. Because I don't want the fan working from the existing light, so as not to disturb family in middle of night when visiting bathroom. I'd fit an independent switch. Via an isolator switch I will supply the fan with L,N &E for the timer facility. I will supply the switch with a live...

That is exactly what I'm after but an ordinary light switch does not indicate whether it is on or off. If a number of people touched the pull switch for instance, the fan could be either off or in timer mode and without waiting say 15 minutes you could leave the house with the fan running for an...

I am fitting a Manrose in-line fan and am stumped. The version I am fitting is with timer and I don't want to use the current bathroom light switch to operate it. I appreciate that I also need to fit an isolator which I will place adjacent to it in the loft. I can obviously fit another pull...

100% agree. It was labelled Upper / Lower and completely threw me at first. Fortunately I double check before working on the circuit. But I'm sure everyone is not so thorough and would be caught out. Off to finish it tomorrow and will take sticky labels to change labels in CU.
