Quite dissapointed thus far. I've had 4 separate companies come in to quote for the job, but none of them could carry out a dynamic flow test or static pressure test on my mains. Almost all had one excuse or another why its not critical :?: :roll: to determine what the mains coming into the...

Hi Moogie, did you get your problem resolved in the end? Do you have any feedback on what it was and what was the damage(cost) if any? Im not far from you (Dunstable) and considering getting an ATAG as part of a system upgrade, but also finding it difficult to find installers who are...

Sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying. Have you heard of the DIRTMAG system filter? That seems to be really clever as you can remove the magnet from the outside to clean/flush it.

@ terry - but the manufacturer quotes that they also capture magnetic particles with that unit, so there must be a magnet inside to do so. Have you ever drained out one of those units you have fitted and what was the result? I mean was there any dirt and metal particles inside the drainage...

Hi Terry, can you please give me an opinion on the Spirotrap Magnabooster2 product if you have had the opportunity to use it in the past? Regards Hum

Im really not keen on the Vaillant based on what I have read overall. I think I have finally narrowed it down to two choices, subject of course being able to find someone accredited to install and maintain who isn't too far from me. My final choices are: 1. ATAG A325EC 2. Veissmann...

Fair comments and I can appreciate your point of view Terry. From my point of view, Im budgeting to invest 4-5K of my hard earned cash into a system which regardless of the number of variables involved, boiler/installer, etc. equate into an end result that I'm going to have to live with...

Thanks for the useful feedback. Yes I believe the house is an ex. council. The street is Tithe Farm road :oops: The water piping coming into the kitchen from the ground is plastic with a plastic stopcock. I checked that yesterday and its fully open. Following that the piping continues in...

I've been looking into water pressure and flow and its being claimed that water companies have to guarantee 1bar and 9Ltrs/pm. If law only requires them to guarantee those numbers, then its difficult to imagine how one can ask for more than what they are getting if its not below the values...

@terrydoh - Thanks for the guideline. I'm still not 100% clear if the reason for the higher water pressure is so for the purposes of the shower only? I personally think that the taps pressure is more than adequate. The leccy shower is a bit on the low side but now that I have been using it...

Ok, all loud and clear. Thanks for excellent advice and tips. Will check on the only stop kock I know of in the house and will speak with the water company. What is an average flow rate I should be aiming for? Im not determined to have a combi specifically, but would prefer to have a simpler...

Ehh :? I didnt know that. So I can't even rely on their technical specifications for their products? Grrr. Ok, so thats something else I have to do myself to make sure. My question regarding the matching of theflow rates remains unanswered however. Should the boiler "actual" flow rate be...

@ terrydoh Well the cupboard where the boiler would ideally be sited (if it was my choice entirely) is located kind of in the middle of the house, so going up into the loft this will be in free space so to speak. To reach any sort of wall, the flue run would have to move horizontally about a...

I am surprised this is the case too, since they have to run more piping for both gas and water. I can only conclude that since the flue has to run straight up and through the roof, to make the hole in the roof and seal it will be where the additional cost is coming from :? I understand the...

Thanks for the feedback guys. @terrydoh - I understand the issue with preferences, thats why Im tryingto do as much research as I can in order to be ableto make aninformed decision. I dont particularly want to fit the boiler in the loft, Im happy with it in the cupboard, but my last RGI I...

Hi all, I've recently moved into a 3 bed end of terrace built in the 1960's (my first home), where I inherited an old Gloworm backboiler CH system, which although reliable thus far is far from ideal as I have been averaging heating only bills of £120GBP per month based on having the heating...
