Anyone know the difference between these? Couple on Ebay all seem to have the same functionality as far as i can see.. Cheers, Marty.

Hi all, I have a small kitchen and there really isnt space in it for a modern tall fridge, unless i replace the table with a counter and id really not like to do that. So im wondering if there is such a thing as a wall mounted fridge...like a normal fridge on its side with double doors or...

John, Your letting the side down talking in text language! Marty.

Could you bit put the vent through the roof? You can get lead slates that you can flash around a fku etc...someone else here will have a better descriotion Marty

sorry...i meant to say thermometer!!... Monday morning blues and all that..........

Cheers D_Hailsham, What you said there sounds exactly what i need to do. I plan to replace the Hot water cylinder next year to a bigger one as it doesnt appear to fill the bath!! So ill change to one of those Y or S plans then....thanks a mill much appreciated. Marty.

Hey, You can get these thermometer strips in places like B&Q for about £2...they look like the thermometers you would often have on the side of an aquarium etc (they are just a sticker).. they are accurate enough to determine if your T-stat is on the blink. Marty.

Not the case Tony! but saying "air drawn in by vent pipe" isnt very helpful....whats the OP supposed to do based on that comment...remove his vent pipe?..its there for a reason, and by design should not be a cause for air in his system..lets wait and see what actually is the root cause. Marty.

The vent is open to air but also under the same head of pressure as the tank is exerting once the system is filled. Just because theres a tank on the feed does not mean there is more pressure from the feed than the vent...so why jump to the conclusion that air is coming in via the vent and not...

That last post is under the assumption that NO water is coming from your hot tap whatsoever......

Air lock, You have emptied the immersion probably quicker than the tank in the loft could refil it. Go into the loft find your main tank...which hopefully has refilled by now :wink: There should be two outlets from it..one to your cold water bathroom taps one for the HW cylinder. Get a hose...

How can air be drawn in via vent pipe?..vent pipe should be full of water up to the head heigth of the F&E tank unless the pump is running too fast creating sufficient vacuum/low pressure to empty the vent.

Hi DP, Thanks for the reply. The boiler does actually heat the water in the cylinder...but its more of a byproduct whilst heating the house...I just consider it as another rad. i think what you are saying though is exactly what i want hear "let the stat act as a switch for both boiler and...

DP..he is right i have no motorised valves. nothing fancy!!...even the electrical side of my cylinder has no timer just an on/off switch with a preference for bath or sink(2 heating elements) If i turn on the tap and there is no hot water..its tough s£$T!!!...If i turn it on and its boiling...

D_hailsham... Didnt answer 2 of your questions.............. Pump is near the boiler but after the vent to F&E(its in the airing cupboard) My HW cylinder is in the circuit from the pump AND electrically heated which is handy in the summer etc. My boiler is old...no fancy channels for...

D Hailsham, The boiler is an ideal classic NF 50. I understand what pump over run is but my boiler is quite basic and does not have any way of telling the pump "ive stopped firing but run for another 30 seconds"..or whatever the required time would be. Once my house is up to temp my boiler...

Just to clarify, Its a pumped system, vented, gravity top up via F & E tank. Trvs an all rads. Hot water is heated via a cylinder in airing cupboard(both electrically and by heat exchange when the heating is on ) It is not a combi boiler...there are no zones...nothing fancy, no 3 way valves...

Fair enough... This is a basic boiler,vented system. When should the pump run??...all the time i would like my house heated or only when the boiler is firing?....thats my question essentially. It may be designed wrong but i intend to put it right!! Cheers, MArty.

Hi there, Currrently have no stat on CH system and relying on TRV's. Picked up a wireless stat and was wondering about wiring the pump.(no mention of it on MI's) Should i wire the pump so that it is on all the time i want the house heated or should i wire it so that it only comes on when the...

Hi G4u...no luck on that website...a guy in a baxi place said he will have one tomorrow so ill give him a shout. Ollski...why not worry about it? Its obviously to keep the windings and bearings cool...??..Or Is it? Marty
