Hi Tony, I did say about the system, but I'll give you it was buried in amongst the other information. Boiler: British Gas / Ideal RD2 System: Indirect Open Vented, S Plan. It is a 4 bed house, with 4 of us living there, 2 adults and 2 children, but we should consider it being 4...

Cheers Pete, yeah, the cylinder stat does get satisfied, and does close the HW motorised valve, but then as the cylinder cools it will open up again. Similarly if we go away we tend to leave the CH stat set to a low temperature, but there is no need for the HW to be getting heated as well. With...

It IS level :P It is closed in at both ends and one of the long sides, so of course when the water builds up on the top surface of the bath it tries to run off. Of course some of it runs back into the bath, but some of it runs onto the floor. Of course I could unlevel the bath to ensure...

I didn't know that about the slotted ones? Must admit I've used slotted full-bore so as not to restrict the flow, (and the space would have been pretty cramped for lever valves) but I'll keep an eye on them :)

So... I'm getting lost in some of the terminology... I think I know what things are but want to check. Firstly what is the difference between a Timeswitch and a Programmer? I know a programmer lets you set the water / CH to come on and off at different times of the day, but in that case what...

...and perhaps consider fitting a pair of iso valves prior to the taps. I ALWAYS welcome the sight of a nice pair of iso valves to shut off the supply to 'just' the taps / outlet that I am working on, rather than having to stop ALL the water to the house, (and believe me, the other people in...

Yeah sorry, we do have a shower curtain that normally hangs down inside the bath for when the shower is on, but I moved it out of the way for the photos :) The problem is that it's not the 'falling water' of the shower that ends up on the floor, but rather the run-off, that the falls onto the...

Hi all, Just after some advice here, to make sure I am about to embark down the correct path :) The 'complaint' is that the power shower in the bathroom runs 'less than hot' quite quickly after it is first used, and each subsequent shower after that is cooler still, until finally it's...

I have an over-bath power shower, and generally it is great. However, when the shower gets switched off, the water runs down the outside of the flexi hose and then drips down onto the taps. From there it runs along the back of the bath (as shown with the blue arrow), before running off the side...

lol - Never thought it could be "not the water but something effected by the water" ! I think our curtain was washed recently, but I'll bear it in mind for the next time I smell it :)

Is it ok / possible to fit a Hot water cylinder using flexible fittings for some / all of the connections? Not really thought about it to be honest, just wondering if it is an option for the DIY-er that might not get rigid pipe work spot on... I'm thinking that perhaps the rigid pipework...

Ok, this is a very strange one, and I don't really know what to do about it :P Occasionally, when running a bath or shower the water has a distinctive oniony smell to it, (I've not noticed it anywhere other than in the bathroom, but that could be because I don't spend as long 'with the water'...

Cheers, I think I'll stick a harness in anyway, (as I was getting intermittent strange readings from the flow sensor, and I've ordered it already!), but I'll also check the plate ignitor. I'm fairly sure that it's the harness though, (at least partiallly), as sometimes the boiler doesn't even...

Yup, no worries about that, got the part number :) Now ordered :)

Nobody has any recommendations on where to buy the harness? :( I've searched around the 'net' but there seems to be a suspiciously high number of websites with differing names, but the same layout, look, and price. Would prefer to go to a trusted seller if one could be recommended? Thanks!

Ahhh :oops: I see :)

Cheers Tony, I would agree, it certainly seems to make sense (even to me as a layman) to be in that top left position, but that also seems to be at odds as to what the manual says... perhaps the manual is wrong? It would seem strange to me to have the O/H sensor effectively directly above the...
