Hello, I've tried to take over the clear cover, but it does not come off. I looked online as we have a Kingspan system and it mentions a automatic bypass valve, so I'm thinking that it adjusts itself?

Hello, My parents recently moved into a five year old house, where the ground floor is concrete with lino on top. Now the ground floor area does get really cold in the winter, but I think that it because all of the heat from the radiators is taken away from the floor. What method can I use...

Hello, The flow and return are correct based on the pump. There is no number on the valve, does not seems it can be turned. Reading online mentions the valve would adjust itself based on flow. Thanks

Hi, Our radiators on the bottom floor are not getting hot, I've been having a look on the weekend and came across the bypass valve on my S Plan, three zone (inc hot water) system. When the heating system is fully on, the pipes to and from the bypass valve are very hot. It would look to me...

I would probably install a three core flex cable to future proof the design. Does it affect any regs if I use flex core under the floor boards, in-between joist? Also what cable (rate amps) would you recommend between the FCU and the shower pump, bear in mind this will go under the floor...

Hi, We are getting my parents bathroom fitted and as we are having a shower installed, I would like to also install a shower pump. The only area which the pump can be located is under the bath, in the front. Next to the bathroom we have an airing cupboard, which has an immersion FCU. I'm...

We have recently moved into a home and the previous owner had two dogs. Looking at the garden they loved to dig and have left bald patches around the lawn. I wanted to understand which grass is currently laid (please below pictures) so I can purchase the correct seeds and repair the patched...

I have most of my rads above the boiler, I also have an auto air vent in the airing cupboard which is at the highest point apart from the vessels. Have you seen the new (released this year) TF1 Omega filter? I'm sure Fernox would have researched the Magnaclean well, before releasing this new...

We have a microbore system, I would like to have a filter installed as it helps maintain the system and its effectiveness. I was looking at the TF1 Omega as it has a 25 year warranty on parts and shell. I have heard the Magnaclean can sometimes leak, which is why I'm going for the Omega. Are...

Many thanks for all the comments... I have had a look round the garden and found the below, its even taken over my tree. I believe is coming from the alleyway... If I cut of this supply would it kill of the rest?

WOW, that is small. We have a small garden which has flower beds on the left and top side of the garden. It is just a matter of pulling all the bindweed out and then to monitor to understand where the bindweed is coming from, for example neighbour garden and then to treat and pull out? Or...

Would appreciate if anybody is able to assist.

So it seems that it is very difficult to control. Is it just a matter of following the plant to understand where its coming from and then apply weed killer?

This plant (weed) has taken over my garden. Its completely dried out my plants from bottom to top and and started to spread toward our lawn. I have thought about using weed killer, however, its wrapped itself from our good plants, its therefore very difficult to remove. Does anybody have any...

Hi, After understanding how effective a magnetic filter is, I'm planning to have one installed. The heating is a pressured system. One plumber mentioned he'd need to think carefully on how to re-position the pipe work as I could end up with air in the pipe and then would need vents. I can...

Thanks for all the replies. Did anybody have any comments on the noise coming from the rads? Thanks.

Its a sealed system, the person who mentioned the system was not flushed works for the company who also did the plumbing for the house when it was built. He said as most of the pipes are plastic it was not within our remit to flush the system. No towel rails, all rads. A mate has lent me a...

Would a BG engineer be classed as a CH engineer, we had them over few days back and they mention the system being block by 'sludge deposits' which could one of the main reasons for the rad not heating up. Do you think it would be worth having the system flushed or even a magaclean filter of...

I'm just really surprised that a 3 year old system would have so many problems. We have a S plan system which is linked to 3 two ports values, ground floor heating (3 radiators), first and second floor heating (9 radiators) and hot water. When we only have the ground heating up, the boiler...

Thanks, Have checked the pipes and its by a company called polyfit - are these any good?
