Thanks, I guess I'll put it down to not ideal but not something to really worry about then.

The fan in my 12 year old Ideal Classic FF240 boiler is making quite a racket so rather than wait for it to fail I thought it would be prudent to pre-emptively replace it. I know that there are several fans for these boilers so needed to get the serial number (and of course it would be far too...

Hi, I’m currently refitting my ensuite shower room, and since when I removed the old shower tray and tiles I found the plasterboard and chipboard floor destroyed due to water ingress I'm pretty determined to make damn sure my new shower is properly watertight (unlike the decidedly shoddy job...

Hi Statia, Thanks for the info, very interesting, those readings are lower than I would have expected (of course that doesn't necessarily mean that I would see the same low readings). I fully agree about buying quality, and it'll take just as much effort to install a cheapie pump as a...

Hi Tony, From what I can gather (not ripped the whole floor up but there's a couple of places that I can peak through in the en-suite I'm working on that's next to the airing cupboard) it seems be distributed around the house between the two floors in 22mm and 15mm pipe, then 10mm tails...

OK home now, callipers say that it's 10mm pipe to the rads. So I guess the Alpha 2 may still be in the running. House is 3 bed detached approx 6m x 6.5m (i.e. about 78 m2 or 840 sq ft) Hi Statia (if you're still reading this), since the pump displays its current power, what sort of values...

Sorry, not sure and I'm at work at the moment so can't go and measure them right now. OK, thanks for clearing that up. I'll check the microbore size and look into a standard Wilo or Grunfos pump. Jez

Hi Statia, thanks for the info interesting to hear from someone who's tried it in a similar situation but darn now I've got conflicting advice :roll: oh well at least I've got a couple more weeks of the system cleaning itself to decide in! Likewise, I don't need the night function I was...

Hi Tony, Thanks for the further info, I'll bow to your experience and leave the X400 in for the four weeks, and duly noted about X800 for future reference. Thanks for the explanation, the current pump has always been set to setting 3 and I've never changed it (other than briefly when...

Hi, Thanks to both of you for your replies. Tony, The instructions seemed to recommend between 2 hours and four weeks so I was aiming for the middle ground of around 2-3 weeks. No problem, I can wait an extra week or two and give it the full four weeks if that's best then. Could you...

For a couple of months my central heating circulating pump (Wilo Gold-D) has started getting rather noisy, everything works fine (all radiators and hot water heat up as expected). I tried bleeding the pump in case any air had got in there but there was no sign of any and so this unsurprisingly...
