    New Beauty/Tanning Salon - power confusion

    I can order the beds 3 phase - no cost differance. I will ask about getting 3 phase installed but I think it's gonna cost more than we have. I am starting the business on some redundancy money so the budget is all spoken for - not ideal but this is make or break for us. They would never get...

    Hot water in F/E tank. Hot water trickle out tap. Steam loft

    UPDATE: Made not a lot of progress today. The big CW cistern tank in the loft does NOT feed any cold water taps or toilet flush system. I ran all cold taps in the house and flushed the toilet and nothing. So this must only be to supply the DHW cylinder in the bedroom below. I have...

    Hot water in F/E tank. Hot water trickle out tap. Steam loft

    I think I have got it: The small insulated cistern in the loft is the F&E tank if so... the primary circuit, so the F&E can top up the boiler if needed and take and water it or the circuit it's on needs to displace? And that water primary circuit doesn't mix with the stored hot water. Only...

    Hi... no the info is very clear thanks for that. Thanks for ID'ing my type of cylinder. Some more Q's for you if it's not too much bother 1. whats the differance between steam and water vapour? (just out of curiosity) 2. when you say the purpose of the Immersion heater is as back-up...

    Hot water in F/E tank. Hot water trickle out tap. Steam loft

    Brillient... so now really just have to check for steam. Anyone - if the Immersion does have a scale problem, is this why the I have slow flow... due to restricted current on the hot water out flow to taps? Also, can anyone tell me if either of these are like my Immersion thanks

    Hot water in F/E tank. Hot water trickle out tap. Steam loft

    OK, will set it lower to 50 deg tomorrow and investigate further (can not mess now as my son is in bed) Is the "outlet" the tap on the wall in the photo I posted :?: New cable? No, but I did cut burnt bits back to good wire. The only instructions in the the thermastat box were not...

    Hot water in F/E tank. Hot water trickle out tap. Steam loft

    so the cylinder should NOT be full? do you think it's OK to try then? even with the slow flow to the hot taps? are we/me still thinking I have a block between the small tank and the cylinder... I am still confused, is this what my system is? or this

    Hot water in F/E tank. Hot water trickle out tap. Steam loft

    LOL yeh, but can you un-block them with a piece of wire. Right, I have fitted the new 18" B&Q thermastat. Only thing is, it's say not to turn the cylider back on untilrefolled with water. Well I dipped the new stat in and out and it's bone dry so not full of water so I have not turned it...

    Hot water in F/E tank. Hot water trickle out tap. Steam loft

    hi oilman - yes the flow from the cold tap in the bath and in the bathroom sink is very good... I would go as far as to say the flow is very strong. Maybe relevant information: Just to cover all cold water flow I can think off, the toilet cistern seems to fill up pretty quickly as well...
