Hi folks, I could do with a spot of advice on this one as I'm no expert with showers apart from installing one. It has worked fine for the last 2 years but now has the low pressure warning light on and as such will only run cold. the water pressure is fine all round the house and I've checked...

Hi fellas, thanks for your continued help. Checked the gas flow rate as suggested, the flow is 1 cu ft in exactly 40 seconds so no probs there. I also shut down the CH valve and then tried the hot water again but still only getting 40c on full flow......... Is there something wrong other than...

Hi chaps, Paul just to confirm that I only mentioned the pump as an indication of travel, not to say that it was linked in any way. I will probably take down the DV again to make sure that I have not missed anything before going down the road of buying a new DV. I have priced a complete unit...

Hi Paul, checked the heating pipe it does get hot and it stays hot until aorund the back of the pump area and then it seems to cool off to just slightly warm (this is after I've run off about a third of a bath full of water) Does this mean that the DV still has a leak or is this the usual amount...

Evening fellas, managed to get time to strip it down this evening, the pins in the valve were grotty, cleaned everything up gave it all a really good greasing and reassembled it all (found it easier to unbolt the diverter valve and then tackle it as the allen key grub at the rear of the manifold...

Hi chaps, do I remove the whole of the DV or just the barrel shaped section and leave the section containing the diaphragm in situ? P.s. pics are very useful, especially the coloured exploded diagram and I have a copy of the manual from the website. P.s. have checked the grubs and the...

Blimey Paul, you must have an RSA typing qualification !! Thanks very much for the help and expertise from you all. Right then down to business, I've managed to salvage an old exploded diagram of the CB24 boiler, which is complicated but it does help. Can someone tell me if I have this...

So, Sooey, Slug and Agile, do we agree that this is a diverter valve problem? If so how do we go about rectifying it? Bearing in mind the diaphragm has been replaced (I think) is there something else that needs checking / cleaning etc. ?? Cheers Ben

HG, John, Paul, thank you so much for lending your time to me on this one, (I realise that it might be the last thing you need when you've finished work....) Right so, the chap who came to look at the boiler a few months ago said he replaced the diaphragm - could it be that he either did not...

Actually, yes, the heating pipe out does get hot, does that help?

Righto chaps, sorry for the delay, thought I had a thermometer at home but ended up borrowing one from work today. Flow rate is 9 litres per min Cold water temperature is 10c Hottest water running at 9 litres per min is just 39c Does this help identify the possible cause? Cheers Ben

Thanks for helping me out on this one fellas. I know that this might sound like a really dumb question but what's the best way to measure the flow rate? Do i just run the tap into a bucket for a minute and measure it that way? If so I'll measure it tomorrow and post the result on here along with...

No Scatman, the boiler has always been spot on, not just in the summer months........

Hi chaps, thanks for coming back to me on this one. What is strange is that the boiler used to produce buckets of hot water (really hot water that is ) even when the HW setting was set to only about 6-7 on the user dial. I must be able to get the boiler to reproduce this level of performance...

Hi folks, I was wondering if anyone could help me on this one. The hot water basically doesn't get hot enough (i.e. when I run a bath the water is just luke warm) even if I adjust the HW temp setting to the highest setting (point 9) Just for info, the water does increase in temperature if I...
