    Repressurising the Pressure Vessel - Glowworm Swiftflow 80

    OK points taken I've now released 10litres of water via a drain cock on a radiator. Still struggling to get to valve but am just about able to. In the FAQ, (which has a helpful diagram now), it says "During this phase it is imperative that water or air is allowed to escape from the...

    Repressurising the Pressure Vessel - Glowworm Swiftflow 80

    My system is now starting automatically but the pressure rises to 3 bar which is obviously too high. I think I'll redo the repressurising but this time release 10litres of water from the sealed system first. I've found a drain cock on one of my radiators so i'll use that. If I let 10 litres...

    Repressurising the Pressure Vessel - Glowworm Swiftflow 80

    I actually increased it has high as I could - I got it to around 2.3bar. But as soon as I release the pump most of the air escapes. Extremely frustrating. I may have another stab at it tomorrow if the 0.3 bar isn't enough. "dont forget to release all the watr pressure and leave an open...

    Repressurising the Pressure Vessel - Glowworm Swiftflow 80

    OK, i've really struggled with this. The valve is in an awkward spot next to where the Pressure Vessel is clamped. Also using a footpump isn't very easy when you can't use a foot. I've managed after may attemps to get 0.35 bar into it. I'm hoping this may be just enough although it's...

    Repressurising the Pressure Vessel - Glowworm Swiftflow 80

    I'm curently trying to repressurise my combi-boiler. I've managed to locate the valve, (car tyre type), attached to the mini expansion vessel, (about the size of a tennis ball), and by contorting my arms into very odd angles have managed to attach a pump. Now when I pump the pressure will...

    Boiler Problem - pressure dropping

    I have read through the FAQ, (and it seems extremely helpful). It says I’ll need to drain water using the ‘Drain Cock’, whereabouts is the drain cock? Also it seems I may need to buy a few new valves. Is it difficult\expensive to replace the Pressure Relief Valve and also the Pressure...

    Boiler Problem - pressure dropping

    I have a Glow Worm - Swiftflow 75/80 (not sure which?). My problems began a few days ago when I decided to bleed all the radiators to make sure they were all filled properly. I had also heard bubbling noises as the heating system started up which made me suspect air had got in. All the...

    Wiring Dual Fuel Cooker

    whats diversity? OK, i'll go with the current 30A and look to upgrade/rewire house electrics. I'll probably move the switch to behind a cabinet, how can I add extra cabling so that I can reposition the switch? Are their special cable joiners? Should all cabling be 6mm? thanks Andy

    Electric supply to Outbuilding

    thank you both for the quick replies. I've seen that article before but would much prefer to put the wires through the existing tubing rather than having to bury them as in the article. Is it all dependant on whether the outbuilding is considered integral to the house as to whether the...
