Doesn't work like that in the long term. Static water sat in a steel container open to air is only going to cause grief down the line as it breaks down. Best to either fix the leak (easy enough if its on the connections, have a go yourself) Or, remove it and blank off the plumbing. They are...

A TRV closes AS the set temp is reached. It is not a switch, more of a lever. :)

Round of applause to @CBW for not leaving the customer in the lurch and doing something to keep it going!

only if you think that the same amount of heat is being put in. High flow rate, high heat input. low temp drop Low flow rate, low heat input. High temp drop Ish. Loads of other variables are in effect as well. It's not linear relationships as there is a physical limit to how much heat the...

Do you see the loose copper strand in the 1st photo (neutral)

What pump do you have

TRVs are dumb, self limiting and have a hysteresis feed backloop. They are also a dynamic throttling device. The idea is the heat output is proportional to the delta being felt at the Head. Temps are indicative only. I like your last comment. For the same reason, I think having the TRV...

Don't come to my house. I must have married a Griswold.

Sounds to me that the LL has been snooping around. Which is illegal.

How do you know what is happening in the house?

How do you know this?

Interesting. Is it no longer viable as a business? Do you do the other building maintenance stuff like electricity, building, etc?

Er. Depends on where you draw the problem boundary. Thermodynamic is significantly affected by time. Time effects of larger/smaller rads can and do affect system efficiency. Notably, bigger rads mean lower temps are required for a given quantum of heat, meaning boiler return temps are lower...

Main shower should be priority. Guest not so much. I'd put a electric shower for guests and whatever you want for yours. Reduce the complexity of the installation. Combi is rubbish for showers given the effects of second users on the pressure. What about hybrid systems? PV solar and HW...

Why are you, as a landlord, not getting proffesionals in?

Turn of phrase. I've a full set of decorative SS sockets in my house. Every now and then, one of them will fail, be it a switch going or the socket itself. I've a couple of spares on the shed which i canabalise for bits when it happens. They don't make my sockets anymore.

New he-ex means new boiler? Crikey.

Post pics of the pump, the prv and the boiler......

The overstress will be throughout the entirety of the system subject to (probably) over temps and pressure so be sure to make sure you change everything upto, and somewhat past the last failure point in the direction of flow. This means anything leading upto it all the way back to the boiler...

Plumbers and trade looking for other faults apart from the obvious. 1st fault mechanism was the boiler service. 2nd fault mechanism was the pump change. 3rd fault mechanism was the prv change. Rodents are a long way down the list. The 2nd last photo seems to show a longitudinal hoop stress...
