just out of interest, was the shower you used to have either quite a deep one or was it standing on a plint? And the replacement a slim one sitting on the floor?

if you have to drain down the cold water storage vessel in the loft, you can tie up the ball valve to stop any more water entering and open all the cold taps inthe bathroom although the cold tap for the bath should be fed in 22mm and therefore drain down quicker. once the water has stopped...

dint they used to put that in the wine?

I notice that the enclosure is bigger than the tray, is the left hand edge of the sill also sealed. is the inside of the enclosure sealed? if hes done the outside only then you may get standing water within the metal uprights too. re sealing may solve the problem, but the only real way to...

im with Mehran, for the top/bottom opposite entry. As the water cools it falls to the bottom of the rad and then exits back to the boiler. Ze cheese eating zurrender monkeys do it zees ways nestpas?

any relation to linda barker queen of the jungle?

If you get asked a question and you know the correct solution then it shouldnt matter what your name is. i know a paul barker, but hes an accountant not a plumber! i cant see why youre getting bogged down by a simple alias.

lol. maybe i was trying to be ironic with my name. How dextrous is Dextrous, he may only have 3 fingers...and how agile is Agile? i reckons hes a fat bloater, but who knows? I thought that this forum was where people came to learn stuff from the time served pros. If your too busy to help...

thanks all, will give it a whirl tomorrow. although whats my name or where i live got to do with asking for help from professionals? i dont claim to a CH engineer but just trying to deal with a prob ive never experienced before.

thanks Kev, ill try that, any way i can make sure the whole sys is full. do i need to drain the system again and refil? or just bleed the pump. I suppose if the pump is full then the +ve and -ve sides of the sustem should be flooded since the pump is at the neutral point. you may be able...

Hi All, Ive drained a vented central heating system with an older NETAHEAT system boiiler. The system has 2 2port valves for the CH and hot water. Ive refilled the system (opened up the ball valve in the FandE tank and bled the CH although i think theres an airlock as the pump is making...

a 1.4 bar pump fed via 15mm pipes has a flow rate of about 8-10 litres a minute. an average sized hot water cylinder is about 120 litres. the top 2 3rds of the tank have hot water in it (the hottest at the top and the coolest at the bottom) so lets assume youve got about 80 litres of hot...

what kind of wetroon is it? aquadec? a tray which is recessed into the floor then tanked. what kind of tiles are on the floor? large format or mosaics? if its mosiacs then its very possible they havent been installed correctly. its easier to follow the slope of the tray with smaller tiles...

the stand pipe i assume goes thought a 180 bend before entering the stack...so i would imaging that this is blocked or partially bloked with soap scum or washed out 10 pound notes. some heavy duty drain cleaner or a good hard rodding should surfice

why not try and turn off the water outside the property and replace it

theyre top notch, and save a lot of time and sealant. get yourself that pro finish

some aqualisa pumped showers (hiqu etc) will allow a hot water tapping directly from the domestic hot water pipe on top of the cylinder. Ive fitted one in this position without any hot water draw off problems. This will obviously avoid having to tart around fitting a flange. alhtough check the...

if youre worried about leakage you need to build a small weir over your door threshold and tank it. when you fit the door you should also install a small plastic trim or lip at the bottom to deflect any spray over your weir and back into the room

should be fine. you'll have to take the hot water via a flange on the top or side of the cylinder to stop air being drawn into the pump. i think the easiest option is a warix or a surrey flange. The essex type requires you drilling a hole in the side of your tank so is more hastle.
