Hi, I in the process of planning out a new garden, including water feature. The plan is to have a 2-3 ft Slate Monolith suspended over a raised pebble covered pool. All plans are in place, but I don't know what size pump I should be looking for. I don't want anything thats going to cause the...

Cheers for all the advice guys. I'm not sure if I want to have a crack at this though and was considering giving a guy in our village listed in yellow pages as "Central Heating Services - Domestic" a ring. What should I be expecting to pay if I were to get someone to do this for me?

Bugger - new timer didn't make any difference. Now going to concentrate efforts on the valve... I've started a new thread here: http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=314832#314832

Hi, I wondered if anyone could give me an idea of what would be involved in replacing a 3 Port Valve that feeds the hot water and central heating? This would be my first attempt at any plumbing, but I am technically minded and not worried about the electrical work involved... Secondly, what...

Thanks again for your help on this, all very much appriciated. Thankyou for your contribution EliteHeat, but that all seems abit beyond me. So, we have it down to 3 possible causes: 1) Electronic Fault of Programmable Timer 2) Mechanical Fault of Valve 3) Electrical Fault of Wiring...

Right, I think we're getting somewhere (and it is very much appriciated!) Again, before I started things were set to: CH & HW Both OFF, Valve = H I then start experimenting: - HW ON, Valve moved to W (presume good) - Leaving HW ON, CH ON too, Valve moved to M (presume good) - Leaving CH...

It was already set to H, could that be the problem? Basically, before I conducted this little test the settings were: - Timer HW: Twice (Currently off) - Timer CH: Twice (Currently off) - No 'click' from the thermo when turned up or down. - 'White box' in airing cupboard indicates H (from...

Hi, I've browsed this forum before, but now i'm hoping someone can help me out, cheers in advance... Basically, our boiler isn't always firing up when programmed to by the timer unit. The boiler serves both central heating and hot water, and is controlled by a seperate timer unit...
