Fire was set to maximum for around 8 minutes. Doors to the lounge were shut, double glazed windows remained closed. Test was repeated with doors and windows remaining closed. He was going to pass it until I mentioned the sooting on the marble fireplace that he missed. At that point he got out...

Going electric is not an option, as the old electric socket was removed to fit the fireplace. So allowing for a poor class two chimney design how do I proceed? Chimney sweep, inspection of installation or a different design of fire to fit the existing grate/space. I am reluctant to just...

I live in a house built in 1990 that has a class 2 chimney that vents via a ridge tile and ducting via the loft. In 2007 the gas fire was changed to a Baxi open flame but since that date the fire has only been used for maybe 2 hours per year after the initial enthusiasm, as the fire is more for...

The existing panel is going to be spray painted like a car bumper and then refitted. If I fit a manufactures replacement it will go yellow again in a couple of years.

Are they called bath panel floor clips, as there are none attached to the floor?

I have removed a yellowing front panel from a Trojan Concert P shaped bath and found that only a silicon bead is holding the panel in place apart from a few clips attached to the underside of the lip of the bath. There is no beading along the bottom of the panel. There is a piece of wood...

I have a 3 year old Bosch washing machine that uses I-DOS to dispense liquid detergent and conditioner. In December it stopped dispensing conditioner despite me cleaning out the draw and twin pumps. Bosch service said the conditioner pump was weak and changed it. In January the conditioner...

The filling loop was and is disconnected. I have silenced the radiator by adjusting the lock shield and then putting it back to where it was. This leaves me with the unanswered questions 1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 6/.

This is a 20 second YouTube video of the noisy rad. When I bled it next to no air came out just water..

Yes the HW has been used daily including for showers and yes the pressure increases as soon as the CH is turned on so at least this is normal behaviour.

So it is now 5 days later. The pressure gauge increased by 0.1bar, which might be the natural tolerance of the gauge. I then turned the two valves on at the bottom of the boiler to reconnect the CH flow and return. The gauge didn't flinch. This was after having to drain 1.4 litres from a...

The installer of the Worcester installed a Straight Braided Filling Loop with 2 valves that sat just above the old boiler. This was stripped out when the new boiler was installed as the new boiler was re piped...

Pre heat is switched off and there is no other filling loop, as the Bosch had a filling loop above the boiler that was removed when the boiler was replaced. What I am struggling to get my head around is why did I have the same issue last year after the first service that eventually cured itself...

I have removed 1.4 litres of water to get the boiler down to 1 bar again and have isolated the CH by turning the valve off allowing me to keep the hot water on. I will now play the waiting game and will report back if the pressure changes in the coming days.

If I reduced the pressure on the central heating back to 1 bar by bleeding a radiator and then isolating the CH by turning off the CH boiler valves from underneath the boiler, would this not highlight any fault quicker as the built in gauge would only be monitoring a build up in pressure of the...

EV is 10 litres

Note that the heating hasn’t been on since a 30 minute run 3 weeks ago. One leg of the filling loop is disconnected and is just hanging. The system hasn’t been topped up since the first service, as I forgot to mention to the engineer that I kept the system at 1 bar due to a previous leak in...

In 2009 I posted this thread about my Worcester Bosch boiler, that was 9 months old and was increasing pressure with the filling loop disconnected. https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/pressure-increasing-on-a-worcester-combi-boiler.166884/ Opinions ranged from internal holes, corrosion between...

The system was originally dosed with two bottles of X100, which is why I use it. The system hasn’t been topped up with any water in the last 12 months as the pressure has been maintained. All very strange why I have had to add another two bottles after testing against the colour chart on the...

So I have an Ideal Vogue boiler installed in 2022 by an Ideal accredited installer giving the boiler a 12 year warranty if serviced yearly by an accredited installer. I have noticed on the first 2 services that as part of BS 7593:2019, an annual on-site water test is required to check inhibitor...
