    Get in Fruit and Veg prices to go up - another Brexit win

    This is scare mongering of course because for this to happen we would have to have the perfect storm so we would need: Inflation running in double digits, fertilizer costs would have to have risen significantly, the currency would have to have been devalued, energy costs would have had to have...

    Can a combi boiler leak central heating water from a faulty heat exchanger and get burned off as vapour through the flue

    A hole in the HE would see water coming onto the burner assembly so you would see rust. If you left the burner off for a few hours and checked the burner, you would see water gathered. A pin hole at whatever pressure your mains is will be constant and noticable.

    Loaded Question....

    you can offset the construction costs and of course the running costs. One note of caution though. The LA could rightly come after you for rates on business premises. You might also need to check the mortgage agreement to see if you are allowed to operate a business from the address. It sounds...

    Should CH pump and valves remain on all time CH is on?

    how do they operate when they are using flow temp rather than room temp? The pump (i assume) has to continually run in order to sense return temps. If it does not do this. how does it work?

    by that definition every plastic pipe in your home is a risk and needs replaced so waste pipe now needs to be 100mm cast iron, 40mm and 32mm now needs to be steel (can't find any copper that size) ...etc etc. If its plastic they prefer, then all cables are at risk and need protecting inside some...

    Lots of plumbers like to use coper pipe. They operate 19th century practices and convey modern developments as the work of the devil. The only consideration you need to make is the volume you need through the pipe. Plastic pipe has a thicker wall and so is less in diam (internal) so will reduce...

    Smart Interval Timers

    you said make it on a computer and then transfer to a pi...which I said is a computer...so your point was to make it on a computer and then make it on another computer..doing the same thing over again! I did not understand the logic of doing it twice so pointed out the contradiction of your...

    Shower Water Feed Reversed?

    so following your logic...my shower is set at 28 degrees for example. My hot water supply to the mixer is now coming in at 20 degrees (so it can't get any higher). If the cold water was always priority and always flowing, it would mean that the 20 degree water would be made cooler until the cold...

    Should CH pump and valves remain on all time CH is on?

    when my heating is on, the pump runs even if the burner is not in operation. My understanding is that if the pump is not running then no water circulates and as the temperature is rising in the primary heat exchanger beyond it's preset limit it shuts down...a safety feature perhaps! Mine also...

    Grundfos Secondary HW Circulation Pump Head Replacment - Non Bronze Head

    what do you think will happen? chemical reaction between the steel and the bronze? Both metals perform the same function in the system so why would there ever be an issue?

    Shower Water Feed Reversed?

    hot water feed into the thermostatic cartridge which then mixes the cold. If you have the cold connected to the cartridge then the best you can hope for is luke warm water as the cold has a greater volume flow over the hot water. You can prove this point by switching it round and seeing the...

    New Boiler payment when faulty

    If you can show me a documented case where boiler manufacturer took on responsibility and replaced free of charge a boiler they had not supplied or fitted and I'll donate £100 to a charity of your choice. It needs to be documented, not anecdotal

    New Boiler payment when faulty

    Bad publicity! what do they care, they don't sell boilers, they make them. Boiler is classed as being faulty on installation, that is the only finding a court could go with. Boiler manufacturer will then argue that it was fitting incorrectly but they don't care, its not their problem. Simple...
