Servicing the PRV strainer is under the manuals maintenance 1 pager. There’s several utube videos when searching for Megaflo maintenance with similar setup where the cold water combo valves sit low. It must be ‘those’ G3 engineers. It does seem dodgy and so why I’ve asked the question. But to...

I thought the cold water combination valve strainer inspection and clean is maintenance and not G3 required. Directions are on their manual. Also T&P drains what’s in the tank out so I don’t get what you mean. Here’s the video Thanks for calling out the upward pipe direction. Please point out...

I’d like to carry out maintenance on the combination valve strainer. I’ve seen some videos, but have a question on the low height of combination valve relative to height of the T&P release valve. After draining from the T&P, does it matter that the combination valve is so low? I’m concerned that...

Just giving an update. Didn’t replace the AAV (yet). Found some YouTube suggestions for diagnosing. Gave it some soft knocks to loosen any debris, check fluids filter was clean. Checked the pump, setting and it was set to 3 so reduced it to 2, and bled the pump valve. Seems good so far. Don’t...

Thanks all. Will be adding this to the DiyNot list then.

Hello. The auto air vent above my unvented indirect cylinder’s primary return pipe has slow drip that starts and stops after heating up the water. Suspect it’s due to debris. Searching on the forum, the advice seems to be to replace the part. I searched online for like part and it seems to be...

Hi all. Have another question about what smart lock to get that will work for my situation. I have a multi lock that requires a key inside as well as outside and this works well because the door has glass panels, so an intruder couldn't just smash the glass, reach in and turn a thumb lock that...

@NickV The Shelly Dimmer2 and the neutral bypass may work for me. I’d like to put in some colour changing lights into the kitchen and automate scenes based on time of day or night. I’d like a physical switch that replaces the existing one that can turn on/off lights and override the dimming...

Or anyone making push button open close?

Haha. Our existing casement windows have 2 latches. The upper one never gets closed and barely reach the low one. All the new windows seem to have the handle at the centre point. Wanted to see if there were any manufacturers that can put the single lever lower, or put in the spindle/crank like...

I’m having a hard time finding replacement casement windows so that the missus is able to close the windows in the kitchen. The distance from the counter and the midpoint height of the lever is out of reach and requires a stool to grab it. Can window manufacturers put the levers lower, or is...

I have these similar looking square peg valves, but on the radiator connecting side. How do these work?

You’re left with checking if the job was done properly and being able to evidence it. Here’s a few suggestions. Check by feel if rads still have cold spots. If you’re able to get hands on a thermal camera all the easier. If you’ve got a Magnaclean, check it to see if it’s clear. If rads are...

If your house is well insulated, have a tank, a bit of space out back and water based underfloor heating, consider air sourced heat pump, and look into the £5000 government grant to install it.
