    non vent Indirect Cylinder

    It's worth phoning the manufacturer anyway. Had one recently (Range Tribune) that was leaking from a failed weld. Couple of years old and customer had never had it serviced - Range replaced it free of charge anyway. hth

    I didn't know that - not sure how you could patent one anyway as similar set ups have been around for years. maybe it's to do with the diffuser design ?

    Another flow rate in unvented system question

    Can you disconnect the blue mdpe in the airing cupboard and check what flow rate & pressure you're getting there. At least then you might get an idea where the problem is.

    Another flow rate in unvented system question

    How many lpm do you get from your kitchen cold tap ? Also some water softeners can be quite restrictive - bypass the softener and see if there's a difference.

    Essex Flange to feed shower pump and the rest of the house

    If you haven't already got the pump take a look at the Stuart Turner website. They're pumps are very good and they allow / recommend a hot water take off from the horizontal hw supply. Might be worth a look.

    Megaflo Dripping Valve

    In my experience, when there's a leak from the end of the prv cartridge, the cartridge will be seized into the housing and can be a real pig to get out.

    Ideas on HOW to find the blockage?

    Sounds like you have a one pipe system. Best to repipe as a two pipe system but in the mean time put some cleaner in (x800 or similar) it might make a difference but wouldn't hold my breath.

    I got a bang in my airing cupboard ?

    Try turning your room thermostat down after the heating's been on for a while & see if it bangs then ? - some motorised valves can make a noise when closing.

    Check valve. Do I need one?

    A check valve on the hot wouldn't be for backflow prevention, it's to stop mains pressure water going through the tap and up the hot supply into storage cistern causing overflow to run. A flap type nrv will give hardly any restriction to flow.
