There is a manufactured connector to connect the central mixer, two flexi pipes come in the box bent over double in order to connect to the hot and cold tap levers. seems top be a really bad design and simply wont allow the slightly lower pressure hot water from water heater to flow through.

Problem is the flexi's are supplied by the tap manufacturers ! The only way to connect mixer part is to kink the flexi .

The image is a "timeless" ceramic basin mixer. We cannot get water to flow through the hot side of the mixer. It is fed by a Brittony water heater so the pressure is slightly less than mains but the design of the tap is such that the mixer part of the tap is connectected to the hot (and cold)...

Has any one heard of a modern unvented cylinder creating a bad rotten egg smell ? Cylinder is in a holiday home (so does not get used every day) and sometimes when hot water is drawn a foul smell like rotten eggs comes from hot water tap. Any ideas anyone ?

I suspect drain pump has stopped working on my dishwasher. Dishwasher goes through all cycle but water still left in base. There are three wires, red, green and beige into the motor is it possible to test the motor out of the dishwasher before I order a replacement? I have used a multi meter...

Dishwasher model is TBDW41. All filters clean but at end of cycle still water in base. I have unscrewed plate from inside and checked drain pump is free not bunged up. Hose is not blocked. Can anyone suggest anything else. Is it easy to fit a replacement drain pump? Any suggestions on...

I have been asked to move a Cylinder into loft for a family friend. Job is in bonny Scotland so question is does this type of work need to be registered with building control?

My friend claims it is cheaper to purchase cigs in the bar on the Dover to Calais ferry, rather than at the duty free shop? Is he talking rubbish ?

We are talking about a family home in Hungary, 1400 miles away, last year boiler packed in and stopped heating the house causing a burst pipe. So we are looking at fitting a temperature sensor linked to an alarm type dialer that could send a message to a pre-programmed number if or when...

I need to set up a system to alert me if the temperature drops to below freezing at my holiday home. Does any one know of any remote dialers/frost stats that can send a message if there is a power cut or boiler breaks down and temperature drops below freezing when I am not there.

As an installer I am legally bound to install a boiler that has a minimum fuel efficiency standard. This is the law. If the government made the manufacturers make their products with long term quality & energy efficiency in mind NOT just fuel efficiency we would see the squables over boiler...

If you're not doing any other major projects in the new home I would say repair and maintain. Yes you would lose out on boiler efficiency but save over two grand on a new system. But I would not refit a kitchen around an old boiler and have new carpets fitted if I thought I would have to...

Doctor would you be interested in a business proposition? We should form a company and supply & install these long lasting boilers you mention, give a twenty year guarantee, subject to fair useage and a maintenance contract, surely we could not fail? I cannot think why no-one else has...

.... get sacked for taking too much time from work waiting for the engineer to call to repair it, or freeze to death waiting.. :lol: There are a lot of engineers who believe modern boilers tend to be unreliable so an annual maintenance contract can be good value for money.

Not that old chestnut again! :? Open vented ? 8mm pipe? Sounds like a new system to me. You just have to research and decide if you prefer to have stored hot water ( little or no flow restrictions to taps) in a cylinder or instant hot water (can only serve a limited flow) from a...

At last .... someone normal.... with a good positive comment...

started the post off....... It is a pity no one else has come in because to you it may look "personal".* But I say again, educate me..** link or show me the figures that prove why to fit my 72% boiler is virtually a crime in this country.. "You are saying modern boilers brake down a lot...

I left skool with 1 'O' level, went straight into the gas industry. I dont claim to be an expert I read the forums to gain more knowledge and to try get a better understanding of the various boilers we now work with. We are told that we must save the planet/environment and in my field of work...
