Thanks johnD. Can you tell me what the pipe is called? Just so i at least sound like i know what i'm talking about when i try to explain which pipe the water is dripping from. :-)

Hi, Photos are in the album now. :oops: There are two possible places that the pipe comes from: either the bathroom or the water tank. For the last few years it has never seemed to drip water and I presumed it was some kind of ventilation pipe but over the last few days it suddenly...

Hi all, I have recently found that an external pipe (which I suspect to be linked to the bathroom) has suddenly started dripping water. See the photo here: //www.diynot.com/network/littlemonkey/albums/4166 ^ In the photo, the pipe is a little copper one that sits just above the...

leaking external pipe, suspected to be from bathroom

During the time of installation, I was telling the engineer about the bottom of radiators being cold and top being hot. He then reccomended getting a powerflush. I told him i'd get it done and hire a machine so as a favour he put the chemicals into the boiler. The idea being that if the...

Was there something I missed in the steps I outlined? :O Please let me know. :-) This is something i'm not sure about. How does I balance them? It is where I use a key to let out air of each radiator OR do I need to do something with the boiler? I've got no idea about this. Please...

This is exactly it - the attractive thing about a power flush is only having to take off one radiator and plug it into the valves. The thought of carrying radiators down the stairs is not cool. :-(

Two reasons: 1) We had a new boiler installed about 2 months ago and I was told to make sure I get it done 2) The radiators are cool at the bottom and hot at the top

....also I'm in York. Is anyone on here local? I'd be happy to pay for the help if someone could come around and guide me through it.

Is there any issue of having to rebalance the radiators / boiler pressure afterwards? That is really the bit that bugs me. My plan was to: 1) Find the stop-tap. Turn water off in the house. 2) Unbolt one of the radiators, carefully lift off the wall and drain it outside by letting the...

Hi Kev, Sorry if I seem really stupid here, but I did look at the FAQ and there isn't a particular post covering how to do a Power Flush. Did I miss it?

Hey guys, I'm wanting to get a Power Flush done on my central heating and am thinking of renting out the machine and chemicals to get it done. BUT! I've never done this kind of thing before and I wondered if anyone could give me any tips / guidance on how to actually do it? Cheers :P
