After 30years of service from a Myson Economist we are having a new combi boiler as part of kitchen refit. About 8 years ago I fitted a Mira Magna shower with a pumped mixer. Accepting that I can't use this on a combi what would be the favoured option. Ideally I would like something ceiling...

My daughter has just moved into house. The place has a Vokera boiler which looks fairly new. I am having to switch the filling loop about once a week as it is dropping anything up to half a bar. I have done the obvious and been around all the visible pipe joints with a tissue but can find no...

To answer yes the house was a new build in 1985, yes the pump is a bit noisy at times. Tell me more I haven't tried shutting the bypass valve

I have a conventional balanced flu boiler (myson economist) it is downstairs. The system is a pumped one with a F&E tank, 3 way valve and hot water tank. I have 6 rads upstairs and 4 downstairs. I started getting problems with the downstairs ones not warming up. I immediately thought pump...

Gents thank you for your informative posts and although I understand the principle I have decided to contact a suitably qualified friend to complete the task. I am confident it is the limiter thermodisc which is at fault. As an aside I am shocked that the price on the part at £60 when it...

I am simply asking where the likely fault lies, I'm not wanting to enter the plumbing magic circle. Replacing either of the 2 components is not a difficult task but if I can avoid spending £60 on a thermal limiter I possibly don't need through some honest advice I would like to do so. I...

I have an old Myson Economist boiler which although 28 years old and no doubt not very efficient generally works well. However after a pilot light failure I have reached a confusing situation. The pilot thermocouple has a couple of spade connectors half way along it's length. Connected to...

Hello folks. I've done some searching on here to try and get an answer first so as not to be repetitive but can't find the answer. My house is the usual breeze internal walks and dot n dab plasterboard. I have a hell of a job securing anything substantial to the walls. I have used the...

Ive looked through the various threads on here but just need a bit of a steer. Ive fitted a Mira Magna electronic mixer shower with built in pump. Its on a gravity system and I fitted this shower to replace an existing gravity mixer shower. Shortly after turning the shower on we have a...

Thanks Baker - How much are these things - It looks quite complex with the various inlets/outlets and piping options.

thanks very much, i will have a look on there

thanks, i am loking for a system that will pump all my hot outlets or specifically my bath and the 2 showers. Is there anyway i can do that, it sounds quite complicated, if all 3 are tank fed hot and cold is it just a matter of installing a pump somewhere in the outputs from the hot and cold tanks

some one out there must have a clue

I have a conventional balanced flu boiler and hot water cylinder in airing cupboard with cold water tank in loft and mixer shower cold header tank in loft. I have bathroom with bath and mixer shower over bath and mixer shower in shower enclosure in en suite. My basins are fed by cold...

Yes sorry, my acronym error......its the MCB which trips

Ten or more bulbs have blown in the house in this short time, everything from the microwave, cooker hood, picture light, 4 halogen downlighters and 2 conventional light bulbs. It is happening on turn on, flick the switch and bang, the RCD trips, when reset I find another bulb blown. Can...

I am re fitting my bathroom, Ive fitted a new gravity fed mixer shower and mixer taps on the bath & sinks etc. The cold water is fed from a storage tank (2m head) and feeds just the shower, bath and bidet. The hot water feeds the whole of the house from the storage tank in the airing cupboard...

I am trying to make a neat job of feeding the 1.25" water feed pipe into my pre formed glass fibre 'rock' waterfall. I dont really want the unsightly appearance of this big black hose just dropped over the top of it. Before I set to with a drill and water tank type connector can anyone...

As part of my ongoing pond project I have just built the rock park of the rockery around what is a pre formed glass fibre immitation rock waterfall. I fancy some alpine type plants needing little maintenance. Any advice on planting methods, soil type, gravel etc would be appreciated

The return pipe from my pump to filter is 1.25" dia. It runs out of my pond under the slabs and on top of the liner overlap around the edge. This is a neat job but obviously limits my water level to just below the bottom of the pipe if I am to avoid the water running out the pond. Now to my...
