hot water is connected from the outlet pipe at the top of the water cylinder, there is a t joint, the supply goes down, elbow joint to right, elbow joint up and into the loft where it connects to the pump through a stop cock to the pump. I cant see any bleed valves in the system.

I've checked the filters, they are clean, how do I check the flow switches? What does the anti gravity loop look like - bear with me, these things may be logical to a man, but....................................... :)

Ok, please come up trumps on this one! We originally had a mixer shower fitted in our new en-suite, and the "plumber" took the cold supply off the mains(the en suite replaced a kitchenette in a granny flat, hence mains supply). We spent months and money heating our cold water tank in the...

Hi Yes they are connected, and yes the inlet valve is in one, the outlets are in the other, it is the outlet one with the scum on it. With two young kids, a washing machine on all the time, I dont understand how we could not be using enough water to allow this scum to develop??? :(

Hi there Both thanks are the same size! It's not the one that fills from the mains, but the secondary one, so I guess we will be washing in it! I had a problem caused by my plumber where he let some lagging fall into the second tank! I drained the system, which caused the taps to block...

Hi, you guys helped me solve a previous problem, and I wonder if you'll come up trumps this time :D My loft has two inlet tanks - not unusual I hear you say - but the second one has a white scummy stuff on top of it. Any ideas what it is, what has caused it (it wasnt there the last time...

Sorry guys, some of us women have to do the DIY, specially when the man of the house works away often! Havent sorted anything out as yet, have been trying to calm down after yet another catastrophe caused by what i believed to be a "professional"! I'm seriously thinking of taking up plumbing...

Thanks to all you "sad" professionals out there. Perhaps those of you with families, should now be tucked up in bed with your wives/girlfriends, or even boyfriends, rather than worrying about my problems!!

Thanks Nige I didnt think anyone else would be reading this sort of stuff at this time!! As the plumber who caused the problem is due back tomorrow, I shall be suggesting how he resolve the problem he caused. Thanks for your help Sue

Help - can anyone tell me what to do to clear a downpipe from my loft tank. The plumber left, having dropped a lump of fibre glass lagging into the tank, which has subsequently drifted down the pipe as I tried to run a bath for the kids. I cleared the tank as best I could with a sieve, then...
