Showert is a Mira Sport don't know the size, its got 2 dials on the front

I'll try to get shower details later wasn't too much muck in old CWS tank, but maybe some, will check filters on any taps Could you attach a mains fed hose to the gravity cold water outlet somewhere and backflush? possible to cut into pipework in loft and fit valves to allow "backflush"...

Thanks, its only got 1 outlet as have all these local ex council houses, the CWS & F&E tanks overflow into the gutters (I've changed that in lads house) I'll re-check how shower is fed, Trapped Air = as this one pipe feeds Hot water cylinder and the cold water taps/toilet ect, (other than...

Did have an air lock but cleared that, CWS tank feeds down into hot water cylinder then on to the rest of cold water outlets (one pipe from CWS tank)

yes Water level the same and outlet bore the same only differance is outlet is 50mm higher on side of tank, (before it was under the tank) so my thoughts are its just. before all the waters wieght was pushing down on/in outlet, now it just sidewards pushing (and of course lost 50mm of water...

Hi folks, just replaced an old cold water storage tank and replaced it like for like except the origanal one had the feed outlet under the tank and now the outlet is on the side, the pressure now at the hot taps & the electric shower is noticely lower than before, is it simplely that the weight...

sorry about the delay in getting back no photos of setup yet hot water pipe comes out top of the tank *right angle then on to Tee connector" other ends of Tee 1 is the vent pipe up to the cold water tank, the other drops tp floor level feed to all hot water outlets there is no separate pipe...

Vent and hot water draw off is taken from top of tap (sorry if I didn't make that clear)

Hi guys, I can get the air out by connecting washing hose pipe to hot pipe and run cold water though the hot pipe But its happening every 3-4 weeks (been like it for 20 yrs or more) so want to try to stop it Live it a dormer bunglow, Cold water tank in roof, hot water cylinder on first floor...

hi all got a small concrete block wall that needs re-rendering (old render looks like it was removed years ago) it between 2 windows its only around 1.5 sq mts (1.3 mts X 1.25mts) it needs 30mm to bring it out level with the brick work either side of the windows here is my thoughts/plan 1...

Do I get an air separator or a combined deaerator and dirt remover ? I was looking at the Spirovent 28mm, but spiro don’t do a combined 28mm unit I don’t want the plastic bottle unit Whenever I drain/refil the system I always get air trapped, it takes ages for it to clear And now I’ve...

sorry got the terms the wrong way round, thought flow was feed into the boiler and return was the hot water coming out so the flow coming out of the boiler (Hot) has a vent on it and the return (cooler) goes into the boiler so its still the same question just the terms I used need to be...

yes they can be inaccurate, but the heat was also radiating our into the room, which it never did before I put on this direct vent pipe

hi, had wood burning back boiler for over 30yrs, had 2 in that time first one run lovely and hot, but second one was bigger but never as hot both connected to the same pipe work (flow pipe and a return pipe with a vent) this week I fitted a direct vent pipe to the boiler as well as the flow...

about 1min, until all the top of the hot cylinder was cold I could have it on longer, but due to the weight of the water on the input side of the hot water cylinder, I think the cold water will find the overflow on the hot water output side easiest route

its between 3-4 foot above the top of the hot water cylinder it used to work ok, before I re-routed the pipes to the down stairs bathroom, the height of the pipe did not change I just moved the pipes so they all run next to each other

yes wen I say immersion I mean the copper cylinder I can undo the nut on the hot water out put side (top of cylinder) but the copper pipe end that goes into the cylinder is stuck fast, I've used wd40, hit it, just will not move worried that I could bend the cylinder or bend the copper pipe if...

how will replacing the gate valve with a ball valve get the trapped air out there are no drops of water leaking so air is not getting in,
