Job is in Slough, Berkshire 5% cut I normally take on the finalised price to customer I hardly pass on work to others, but a BG emoloyee advised to steer clear as the manufacturers are in complete shambles and this boiler didn't do too well which is why, a tiny new estate in Slough is the only...

i recently witnessed a salamnder ct50 twin impeller pump in action a week ago. pump was located underneath the bath tub sitting directly on wooden floorboards. this thing was louder than a frikkin tractor!!! not so good when family are asleep and you need to take an early morning shower...

sorry buddy rushed in the previous post the 'chap', i.e. the one who is doin ma head in about all this!! cold works fine...it stems from the mains, through a double non return valve, through a pressure balancer and then into the mixer valve. it is the hot side that is creating issues. to...

dear softus or anyone else concerned i passed on the necessary info to the chap involved outcome: 2 x 22mm hot water pipes running into pump in parallel, exit pipes from pump direct into hot side of mixer. mains cold water going directly into shower mixer. non return valves placed on both...

cheers softus you're a credit to this forum mate

Hi Dan, I'm a little sketchy on gravity fed systems!! You'll have to bare with me as I am still undergoing the learning process. customer is infact a chap who lives a few doors away, just wanting advice. He doesn't want additional pipes entering the bathroom etc etc, just wants all the work...

thanks for the reply there is no cold water tank, all cold feeds are mains pressure. ive read through some old posts here and some gentlemen have suggested 2 x hot water pump inputs in parallel with the outputs combined to feed the hot inlet at the mixer valve, along with a pressure equalising...

Hi chaps, was asked to look at a faulty shower pump today, havn't really installed one myself so was a little confused. Pump was leaking from the main body and making a loud grunting sound. this is the pump: pump feeds a manual mixer shower. Hot water tank inside a storage room adjacent...
