Girlfriends dad is going to be redoing our bathroom for us. We have a Triton T70 GSI (https://www.tritonshowers.co.uk/media/custom/upload/File-1427991224.pdf) with a cold only feed. He insists this shower has a pump built in and that all electric showers do, I'm not sure if it does or not as I...

Girlfriend laughed in my face when I said she can control it from her phone and from her voice, so a bar mixer it is!

I'd need to price it all up. Budgeting around £1,000 for the entire shower but if I can convince my other half to give up the marble tiles we may be able to do it. I heard bad things about Stuart Turner, although I suspect they're from people that didn't follow the exact requirements.

Just a tip, have a look at ChatGPT, it's excellent at writing arduino code, I've actually managed to finish some projects using it.

Go for a second hand Mavic Air, or Mavic Mini. Even the earlier models are very decent.

Thanks. I've studied the plumbing enough to have dreamt about it all night. Fully understand about the flange to avoid getting air in, and that it needs own feed from tank / HWC. Not sure about the pipe diameter yet, guessing it should match pump inlets of 22mm. Aware that any valves must be...

We're redoing the bathroom. We have low pressure system (gravity fed vented), top of tank is about 1m above the shower head, 6 to 7L per minute flow rate (at the bathroom tap). Currently we have just an electric shower (not power, no pump) cold water fed (15mm pipe from tank). Pressure isn't...

Sentinel X100 I used. Poured into header tank as it filled.

Thanks everyone. I replaced the actuator on Wednesday and the problem didn't happen since. Today I've drained the system completely and replaced the valve anyway, new one is much easier to turn than the old one so was worth doing. Old one had alot of black stuff in it, but still a bit stiff...

So frustratingly, I can't get the problem to happen when manually testing any combination. But over time, by changing the timers to change the order of what comes on when: 1. 7am HW comes on, 8am Heating comes on, 9am both turn off = Heating often gets stuck on 2. 7am HW comes on 8am HW goes...

Thanks. That's right, it stays in the H position, but for some reason continues to keep the boiler and pump powered until it moves back to the W or M. (I originally thought it would go back to W or M when it's not energised but understand that this is by design). Would I be right in thinking...

I have, I left it removed over night and the problem didn't happen last night or this morning.

I did just swap over the actuator on my lunch break. The new one also gets stuck in the H position, I realised it's moving all the way over to H and then the manual lever locks in this position until there's a call for hot water at which point it unlocks and goes to W or H. I took the old one...

I'm not sure what you mean, I have a "W M H" indicator, it either opens the valve to flow through to the cylinder, both or the heating loop. Mine does turn the boiler and pump on, I can manually move the lever and turn on the boiler and pump when there isn't a call for HW or heating. Manually...

Wired fine, issue was there when we bought the house, but only happened once in a while, now every day. I changed the programmer and thermostat but the same issue continued (didn't change because of this issue, just wanted NEST). When it was stuck, I confirmed the relay in the timer (NEST hub)...

Thanks. I'm capable of doing both, just I'm sure these are the original from 20 years ago (which may or may not be old for these parts). I'd just rather make sure it's done as I've been fighting with this for months. (Waking up at 3am and the heating is stuck on full / hot water heated up above...

I ordered this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00COD9KKC Should I order this instead? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Honeywell-V4073A1039-Mid-Position-Valve/dp/B005IM1EG4 Ordered both the actuator and valve because it is a bit stiff turning sometimes. I can do it with my fingers some of the time, but...

Thanks. I decided to just replace the entire valve and actuator so I've ordered both.

Have had an issue where the heating comes on when it should, but gets stuck on when the timer and thermostat turns off. Boosting the hot water and then turning it off again always fixes the issue. Found out today that the actuator sends a signal to the boiler and pump to turn on, and this is...
