NigeF and his witty banter ;-) has hidden my last two questions... I'd be really grateful if anyone could provide any information with regards to them. Many thanks all

Its a paint roller long handle I think, you can ignore that one :)

Will do thanks very much. I think it means moving the pump to the loft somehow :) Ok two last question hopefully.... 1 - You point out that this is set up incorrect, but is it this wrongness that will be causing the build up of air in the system? If not what will be the benefits of...

Another thing I've noticed whilst stripping out my kitchen is that the flow and return leaves the boiler in 22mm pipe but part of it going through the kitchen is in chunky 28 or 30mm pipe for a couple of meters and then goes back to 22mm. Would this have any effect on the system at all?

Hi all sorry for the delay on this . from what I can see the pump is on the flow. I come to this conclusion as it's the pipe that heats up first. I'm not sure the picture will prove anything unless you know which pipe is flow and which is return on an alpha cd24r boiler. [/img]

Yup will get one tonight for you. Thanks for your time.

Pump is with the boiler on ground floor on what i see being the flow pipe.

As promised. I hope it makes sense this is all situated up in the loft. Now from what i can see the pump (which is by the boiler on the ground floor) is on the flow pipe directly after the boiler. However if I'm wrong and its on the return would that be ok? If it is on the flow is this...

Cheers Do It all. I'll get some piccys and stuff this eve. :) I do understand that not everyone is a cowboy but the issues I had with the guys who installed this led me to believe that they weren't completely competent. Unfortunately I had no choice in who to use as it was handled by the...

Little bit worried about the fact i'm being told my boiler could explode though :) I cant be mistaken about the setup as the pump is right next to the boiler on the flow pipe. Everything else is in the loft to which only a 22mm flow & return pipe runs, so its definitely before the vent and...

Oh dear... Its been like this since we moved in almost 3 years ago. There was a flood in the house just before we moved in and teh old boiler was replaced with a new a rated alpha boiler. We had to get them to come back and redo the stat and programmer setup as they had made a proper hash of...

Sorry CBF completely missed your post. I'll have to look into it some more as im pretty sure this is how its set up at the mo. Hi Ho Hi Ho, back up the loft i go! Whilst i'm on actually i may aswell ask about my pump position.... If my pump is directly after the boiler on the flow...

No idea i just found that on another forum bu searching for more info. Pretty sure mine is setup at present like version 1 though. What problems would that cause? Cheers

think mine may be a little like version1 in this but with only one rad circuit.....

Really? Why would that happen? I'm sure its not like that now as the return coming from the central heating tees into the return coming from the cylinder in the loft to the boiler. I'm pretty sure my rads don't heat up when the stat is off. I,ve never noticed it anyway. I think i may be...

Hi all, Looking for a bit of help with moving some pipes. We are having some work done and i need to move a few pipes around to tidy things up. I called a plumber in to look at the work and have been quoted an astronomical amount when compared to what the rest of the work is costing. I...

Anyone? :) The pump is on full speed to by the looks of things. Is this correct?

hi all again... with ragrds to thinking i have corrosion issues, would the radiators not need bleeding all the time even when the system is off? The air only builds up when the system is turned on?

Voila is an alpha cd24r Hot water and heating is turned on together with a room stat and a tank stat to flick either off when upto temp The water cylinder is on the loft, there is one pump on one of the two ppes I can see at the boiler. Looking at the pump it's pumping away from the...

Now this sounds like a plan.... My water tank is still up there so that would need tackling at some point but the heating is a bit Cack to be honest. So I can get a kit to do this? If I was to ask a plumber to do this is it a big job? Any info for me to read up in anywhere? Many thanks...
