Hi all, My house has a conventional boiler with hot water cylinder upstairs. When we moved in, none of the radiators had TRVs fitted and most had leaky valves, but they all worked. In the last year we have had 3 of the radiators replaced with new, including TRVs fitted (decent brands). Since...

Thanks very much! Just out of curiosity, why is there no connection to terminal 2 (heating off)?

Hi all, I am looking to replace my existing British Gas UP2 controller and Drayton wireless thermostat with a Hive v2. I was hoping it would be a simple swap over of the UP2 and disconnection of the drayton receiver, but my wiring is a bit convaluted and some of the connections aren't as I was...

Aha! Yes, should have thought of that. It's set just below 50 degrees. I presume from your original comment that should be low enough for the pump (assuming the thermostat is working correctly - I haven't had any issues with scalding hot water from the taps)? The only reference to temperature I...

My boiler only seems to have the facility for me to adjust the CH/radiator temp, not the HW water temp, so I can't reduce the water temperature (it's a Glow worm flexicom 18hx). The shower pump has an auto-resetting thermotrip. Would this cause it to kill the hot water feed when it overheats...

Agreed! But despite my best efforts to vet them, I may not end up with a competent plumber, so I always find it best to have some idea of what might be wrong before calling anyone else in (hence the question here). Just so I know what they should be doing in terms of investigation. I've only...

The pump only supplies the 2 showers. The rest of the hot water outlets are gravity fed. Would a loose impeller be a repair or replacement job? I agree with you that it needs a proper diagnosis, I'm just trying to gather a few opinions that I can relay to the plumber.

Joking aside - I can feel the pressure drop when I'm in the shower, immediately before it starts to get cold. I know the pump is still operating because the water still comes out at a fairly brisk rate, whereas it just dribbles out when the pump is switched off completely (also it is loud enough...

Mainly my face in the water...

Hi all, Looking for some advice on an issue with dropping water temperature on our showers. We have 2 thermostatic showers in the house, one in the main bathroom, one in the en-suite (both 1st floor - both Mira Elements). These are both boosted by a single pump in the airing cupboard (also...

I'm a little confused with the wiring, having cracked open the white box (which I believe is a BT77A). The brown box takes 3 cables from the main BT bundle - white, orange and green, which are then joined to orange, blue and green cables respectively, and run down to the BT77A. At the BT77A, the...

So are the 2 boxes in the photos just connectors? I'd need to fit something similar in that case as otherwise I'll end up with an NTE 5 socket mounted near the ceiling, which will look a bit odd...

Just built a new porch on our house, and in the process had to reroute some of the original telephone cabling. What's leftover is now looking a bit manky and I would like to replace it if possible, though Im aware you're not supposed to mess with the master socket in the house... :roll: As...

Here are pictures of the cracks: This is the bathroom, which has the worst cracking along the coving: Here's the drips, not the best photo but its hard to get a shot of it:
