I have fitted the Alpha Intec External weather compensation probe and after connecting up and starting the Boiler, I see the External Probe icon in the display and the Boiler momentarily fires up (flame symbol in display) showing the temperature rising from about 27C to 30C and then the Boiler...

Dear All, Don't need a response to this as I found Junsei Autoparts in Rochester,Kent on eBay who supply a repair kit with full instructions for £29.00 !!! Mazda wanted £496.00 for new Luggage Cover assembly !! It was easy to fit and works perfectly !!! The problem is the plastic bush that...

I have a 2005 Mazda 6 Estate and the Luggage Cover won't retract anymore. The spring loaded return mechanism doesn't retract the cover. Anyone any ideas if this can be fixed somehow? Regards

I am sorry but I cannot believe the arrogance of some people on this Forum and how an argument can start from a very simple question !!! All I wanted was a simple view/opinion of the quality of three System Boilers, a Worcester, a Vaillant and an Alpha. If people don't know these Boilers and...

A qualified plumber who also teaches plumbing has sized the Boiler and will also fit it. I just wanted the opinions of the people from the Forum on the three Boiler choices. The Plumber will fit what I want, but he has steered me towards an Alpha. Regards

The old Baxi was well underspec'd. 30kW is the right size. Regards

I am just about to get rid of our old Baxi Solo 15kW Boiler for a more efficient model. The house is 19 years old and is a 4 Bed detached and has had a large extension of the kitchen and dining room. I am going to have a 30kW system boiler fitted to get rid of the F&E Tank. I am looking...

Axel, Yes we will !!! Well the Techflow Service Engineer visited. He couldn't fault the installation and plumbing. He concluded that it must be the pump and fitted a brand new Twin Turbo 3 Negative Head pump to replace the existing Turbo 2. Result.... the same problem existed but now...

Latest Update: A Techflow Engineer is booked for 27th January 2011 and he is bringing a replacement pump (Twin Turbo 2 , Negative Head). Regards

Axel, Will do. Regards

Update: Techflow are sending out an Engineer to investigate the problem.

Well I can't fix it, so I am open to any suggestions !!!

OK. I spoke with Techflow (who are now owned by Stuart Turner Pumps !!) and advised that reducing the hot water temperature has not eliminated the flow hesitation problem. I raised the recharging of the expansion vessel and agreed that I should try that next. They said I should charge the...

Axel, I didn't get chance to carry out the recharging of the expansion vessel today as you suggest, but I did talk to Techflow pumps ' technical Helpline. Their suggestion was to first investigate whether the hot water temperature is too hot flowing through the pump as this can cause...

Axel, Thanks for this. I will give this a try tommorrow and post the results. Regards

There is an expansion vessel on top of the pump (this is a small cylinder about 10cm diameter, about 10cm high with what looks like a schraeder tyre valve on the top !!) How do you recharge this vessel? As mentioned I have tried adjusting the flow switch without curing the problem. The...

For just over a year I have had a Techflow Turbo 2 Twin Negative head pump in the loft servicing the whole house hot water including the bathroom and en-suite showers. The installation was surveyed and approved by Techflow at that time. The system has been working fine. Recently I have...

ChrisR, Thanks for the comments but I should have added that it soes stop dripping after about 3 or 4 minutes. The head doesn't drip all the time. I've never had this before where a Shower head suddenly sheds the water that seems to be trapped in the head after a few hours after a shower.

I have renovated my en-suite and fitted a new shower head and Mixer valve which is fed from a Power pump. I removed the non-return valves from the mixer valve as I had read that they weren't necessary and may reduce the pressure. I now find that everything works fine except when I switch the...

I have installed two Techflow single ended Negative Head pumps in the loft. One pump is serving hot water from the cylinder to all domestic taps, two showers and a bath. The other pump is serving cold from the feed tank in the loft to the two showers. I have observed the minimum of 300mm...
