Cheers JohnD. A good tip about the air locks. ;-) How does sediment get in there? My F&E tank does have some awful smelling gunge on top though. Whats that?!

Hi gents, I have an vented central heating system with F&E tank in loft. I am wanting to move this tank elsewhere in the loft. I.e. Laterally about 2 metres. Is this ok to do without any unexpected consequences? Cheers Budgie Edit: Removed Unvented. Freudient slip. I'm considering...

I seriously think you need to add the + stuff to the search descriptive text. I've been typing AND all along (cos thats what it says)!! Mod edit

Thanks jobby. Any reason why I cant extend it with plastic push fit pipework, its a bit easier...?

Mine overpumps as well actually. But only when the pump stops. My overflow is nowhere near 18" above the header tank. My water level is quite low, so I guess some extension to the overflow is necessary.

Good post. Whether you can compare like with like is another matter. They'd probably been making cars for years, wherease CH was a new thing technologically?

Speaking from a neutral perspective - I think the rise in house prices has contributed to some tradesmen overpricing. They think, well if this house "was bought/is worth" 200k then 3.5k is peanuts. But actually its not peanuts is it. With inflation only at 2%, the 3.5k wont deflate away...

I presume water is coming out of the pipe before it goes into the dishwasher? :?:

Take it back!!!!

I'm guessing the smaller tank is your header tank for your open vented central heating? You do have central heating? This is unlikely to ever go down unless you drain your CH. My guess is the valve that controls the water level in this tank is faulty?

Ask yourself what someone would expect to pay for an outside tap? Surely it depends on how much pipework routing needs to be done etc? £75 ?

Good point. It would all probably move a bit and probably enough to get your T-piece in. Go for it.

Well what do you expect when he cant even type properly?! Thanks Chris, I understand perfectly now. The pipe is plastic indeed, is there a 'technical' name for "a new coupling, with its stops knocked out" Much appreciated guys.

Ok cheers. Sounds feasible - assuming the cut soil pipe will move around enough to get the coupler on?? Arent they quite rigid though and well fixed?

Morning All, Just a quickie. Any ideas how you connect to an existing vertical soil pipe with another soil pipe? Its internal to the house. I need to connect to it for my new toilet. Existing soil pipe cannot be moved at all vertically. Thanks Andy

Problem not resolved yet. Theres a strange scum on the surface of the water in the header tank? I'm fairly sure theres no overpumping, I can normally hear it when the pump stops, but I'll check for sure. Also, another interesting feature is that the 'fine' bubbly noise only occurs when the...

Thanks a lot.

All these read the manual comments. Are you telling me that there is nothing common to every boiler service?? I'm thinking that they probably dont do much at all apart from 'clean crud'!!! Where do they clean crud from? The heat exchanger? And make sure the flue isn't obstructed by hedging...

Dont worry, I did a search and found overpumping info..
