We've just had our kitchen ceiling replastered and now it's been that it's painted, there are a couple of areas that look like oily patches underneath the paint. The plasterer has told us to paint over the offending areas with undercoat, (which we have done) then repaint over with the white...

Artful, I thought about an electric heater. What sort of heat would you get from an 80W tubular, and what's the best way to run them, continuously or with a timer.

Just switched over to an unvented cylinder system, with cylinder now in the loft. What's the best way to heat the airing cupboard? Thought about an extra rad in there, but obviously it wouldn't be much good in the summer.

So I talked it over with my plumbers and we agreed the best solution is to put the old cylinder and water tank, with the booster pump back in just for the shower. It suits me fine as we get good performance everywhere, I get my power shower back and it doesn't cost me any extra.

Cylinder is an Ultrastell 180L, the inlet control is set to 3bar. My figure of 25lires/minute for the pump is from the pump body itself. Also bear in mind that it was fitted to our old water system, which was gravity fed with a cold water tank.

Yes Chris, it was an accumulator! He did check the pressure which he said was fine. As I have said, I am very happy with his work, we now have great pressure on all our taps, bath etc, I just want my power shower back. From what has been said here, maybe I didn't get the full story, but it's...

I am in the middle of fitting out our Kitchen. We will be having a granite worksurface and butler sink installed, given the weight of these, do you think that I should upgrade the plastic legs of the units to metal?

Quote: How is the shower working now for you not to be happy with it ??? It is working, but I am not happy with the performance. Quote: Is the pump still in line? No, because it is now mains pressure. Quote: Where is it connected into the existing system? Everything is in...

Cylinder is only 3 years old, so is blue insulation. The pump runs at up to 25 litres/minute and is 1/2 KW,( can't find a pressure rating on it)

I don't have a problem with my plumber, We have used him before and he was recomemended, the pressure everywhere else is fine, temperature of the hot water is not too hot, when using the shower the mixer is dead central, so pressure of hot and cold is the same. Most people would probably say the...

It's not a combi boiler, and we have an stainless steel hot water cylinder

Pressure is OK, it's just that it was a power shower, (with the pump on the old system)wheras now it's not a power shower.

OK, can the mains pressure be increased with a pump?

I have just had my boiler replaced, and converted from gravity to mains, unvented water system. I did have a booster pump on my shower, however the plumbers say that this cannot now be used, but I am not happy with the performance from the shower.
