Hi I have had a Salamander RHP50 fitted and last night it fired up intermittently when using a hot tap which is not connected to it. Here is the full layout and problem: CWT & HWT are in loft, CWT is on a raised platform of around 5 foot and HWT is at loft floor level. Pump is situated...

having almost completely lost the will to live, thought I would update you as follows; Boiler decided to show an error which may have been to some air getting trapped in there. Have bled the boiler (Worcester Bosch). Have also run around 1.5 - 2 litres from the bleed valve in the loft...

I'll give it a try for a bit. R u gong to be logged on for much longer? or maybe tomorrow? Thx

unfortunately not. This length is in plastic so a single piece with pushfit elbows where goes to vertical

I'll try and explain as it's not as simple as just dropping straight down. We had the cylinder placed in teh loft and an extension built so here goes, and this may explain a lot: The pipe exiting the valve is in 22mm copper, it elbows 90 degrees almost immediately and flows horizontal for 6...

I did bleed it again this afternoon after it had been off for a while and didn't really get any air out. What is 'Plan B', is there a 'Plan B'. Would it be easier to drain down the whole system again but with the valve in the MAN position? Apologies for not mentioning before but it is...

Seco Should I just leave it running to clear the airlock? The CH was on for some time yesterday and never got warm. Will the airlock move eventually? Thx

Thx for prompt responses. In answer to most of your questions: I have bled all rads in cold state with system off. Giot air out initially but just water now. The valve had no resistance however, I went to get another one from the shed and was going to change it over so switched power...

Hi, hoping you can help!! Yesterday I removed a downstairs rad to change leaky valves. I drained the system before removing the rad, changed valves, refilled system then bled rads. I now have cold radiators throughout the house. I have a pump fed system (Myson pump) with a Honeywell 3...

Gunslinger Further to last post, until i understand how to use this blessed technology I think that I need to get a new pump (maybe 3 bar) to feed the 2 showers. So effectively I would site the new pump as close to the outlets fo the hot and cold as possible then continue as far as possible...

Gunslinger New to all this and not sure if I have managed to get my last reply through to you as it states that can only directly e mail my 'friends' Can you help/ Ta Rhys

Gunslinger - to continue (I will try and get a layout or pics on if the following does not help). Both pumps are twin impeller 15mm fed salamander 1.5 bar shower pumps for negative head. There is a 22mm hot feed from the cylinder which reduces to 15mm before pump 1 and is teed off to pump...

High level diagram fo shower pump layout

Good Morning My system is gravity fed and everything is in the loft (headers, cylinder etc.) I have just had a new 22mm feed fed to my new bath, a 22mm feed fed towards my first shower which reduces to 15mm prior to a salamander 1.5 bar pump, the 15mm pipes are then split to feed a second...

Thanks all - will have a bash at balancing the system myself to relieve the earache and neck pain currently being experienced. If all else fails I'll just get rid of the wife!!

Gunslinger All my tanks etc. incuding hot water cylinder are in the loft so I guess I am okay to go ahead with a pump in the loft as long as it is at the same level as the bottom of the tank. Also, are the return valves easy to get hold of and will any plumbers merchants hold them...

Thanks Gunslinger. The cold feed is via 15mm, mains supplied and uses a flexi to reduce to 10mm. The hot feed (new one) is 22mm all the way to just short of the connector which then reduces to 15mm then to 10mm. Forgot to mention that this is one of those fancy taps which has individual hot /...

Thanks Tony. The fitter is Corgi but he didn't fit the bolier he has only carried out the recent rad upgrade and TRV's. Is there a basic principle for balancing that would get me a start such as starting with all the rads open the closing them down bit by bit? Cheers R

Hi Again, I've had a new 22mm feed put into my new bath as the pressure was poor (probably because I'd run a 15mm feed - doh). On completing the work it did sohow somw minor improvement but nowhere near what was expected. The plumber has advised that the tap is a continental one which only...
