That all sounds easy enough. a bit like taking a spur from a plug socket... Hang on a sec though wouldn't the single light only work when the other circuit was switched on if I took the live from the other circuit?

Hi I have a circuit of 5 downlighters in the bathroom and i want to isolate one of the lights to run on its own with a new switch so that when the Mrs gets up at stupid o'clock in the morning to go to work as a Postie (amendment - sometimes go to work...), she doesn't blind herself with the...

OK I am still monitoring the pressure but if i do lose some pressure then this would suggest I have a leak and this would also mean o2 entering the system via the leak point, wouldn't it? Also I have to say that the system seems to be quieter than before we went away. I do have all the rads...

After a lot of messing about with the boiler prior to going away the pressure dropped to 0.3 whilst i was away and not sure if i have a leak in the pipework or it has gone out the PRV. Monitoring the situation now but have filled up the system with fresh water and there is a chance this may be...

Hi. Been away for a month and turned off the water supply to the property and drained the water in the pipes by opening all the taps before I left. (closed the taps when drained) When I came home and turned on the mains supply the first water that came out of all the taps was green...

cheers

Hi Going away soon, over what seems to be a very cold spell. Although my boiler supposedly has an automatic system that turns it on if it gets too cold, Is it worth me turning the heating on everynight for a while to stop it freezing up or is it ok for the pipes to freeze and defrost on their on?

system seems to be behaving now - going up to 2 bar when heating is on and returning to 1.3-1.5 bar when off. Nothing is coming out of the PRV pipe so I'm gonna watch the system to see what happens.

filling loop is securely closed. wouldn't there be a lower pressure if the Expansion vessel had lost some air?

Hi After recently finding my PRV was leaking I took it off to replace but ended up just cleaning it out as all the plumbers merchants were closed when I took it off on a Saturday at 11.30am. This clean actually stopped it leaking and I thought i would give it a few days just to check...

Just a little update This morning after filling up my system to 1.5bar yesterday I have lost no pressure. I don't want to say it in case I tempt fate, so I won't say it but you get the idea. :)

Yeah I didn't drain the boiler with the PRV, I just checked that it was empty by turning the handle, Doh!

since when was 'buggered' a bad word?

I just looked them up, judging by the logo they're the same people. Either way they're right next door to each other. Ta. Trying to put the PRV back on i managed to thread the screw on the inlet side. I thought i was buggered but i've managed to bodge it with a bit of ptf. yeehah! The...

Ha Ha Ha. I remember reading 'don't start working on something important at 10pm on a saturday night in case it all goes wrong cos you won't get a call out at that time'. Well, i started working on this at 11am on a saturday morning. No problem i thought, will be able to get a new PRV at...

The situation is that i think the PRV is leaking as i opened it when i removed the SHE to clean it with ds3. I think this is the cause of my losing pressure as there is water coming from the pipe outside the house. I will drain the system before i replace the valve. Is it easy to...

Hi, If I run the boiler on a low pressure (0.5 bar) whilst I get round to changing the pressure relief valve will it do the boiler any damage? Ta
