A new shower pump is going to be installed in my airing cupboard next the the hotel water cylinder. Obviously it needs an electrical supply, the only one I have that is immediately convenient id the immersion heater supply (13amp) in the airing cupboard.Am I allowed to take a spur off of this ...

Must I replace the new motorised valve, or can I fit a new one in a more convenient location. Just that the floor have been tiled, so it means removing many of them with the board and floorboards. It was bad fitting management when the plumbers fitted and redesigned the new bathroom. I take it...

Yes I can have independant heating botgh on hot water only or hot water and heating. Thgought I may add, that the immersion heater can also be used independantly of the boiler. Basically I can switch the immersion tank on to supply hot water, if I dont want to use the boiler. That has what...

Yes the bolier fires up no problems just on hot water selection, only some radiators become warm, and its those upstairs, the downstairs always remain cold. Practically been like that since they were installed some 15-16 years ago.

I think there is only one, under the bathroom floor I am afraid to say. As this has now been modified from its existing design. Will be hard to get to.

Not totally Sure, but it has a header tank for the central heating, and a cold water storage tank in the loft, suplied by a hot water cylinder, and obviuosly circulated with a pump. The system in now 16 years old, and is supplied with a conventional bolier. Ideal Standard W2000. Think they call...

No water comes out of the TRV side, but water does come out of the other valve. However does this problem relate to where the hot water takes so long to heat up.

No the pin in the TRV is okay, and in its open position.

Can anyone please give guidence. My boiler seems to be working fine, the radiators are all working but one, which is constantly cold. I have taken the radiator off, and it looks like on the thermostatic valve side it is either blocked or the valve is faulty. However I have had the boiler on...

The F & E tank is filling up almost to the top, where the overflow pipe is into the cold water tank. The cold water tank has a overflow as norm that goes outside. I am concerned why the F&E tank keeps filling almost to the top, so there must be a reason. The float valve in the F&E is working...

It is an indirect system. The F & E tanks is above the cold water tank. It is a traditional British domestic hot water supply system, in which water is heated and stored for use, is based on cold water feed from a storage cistern to a heated cylinder that is vented to the atmosphere. My...

Chris Hutt Thanks Chris. What do I have to do in connection to the vent pipe if it is that to stop it from filling. Whats the remedy.

Your help would be apprecaited. My feed and expansion tank keeps filling and overflows into the main water tank. What are the potential problems and remedies. I have replaced the main valve cock on the water tank. I am not sure what is causing this to happen, but what can I expect on cost to...

What is the most efficient temp to set a bolier. I have a thermostat ranging to 1 to 6. I have had conflicting opinions, so say 2 as it uses less gas, some say about 4-5 as it heats the central heating system to it' optimum temperature. Which is correct...

Kevin. Should I use the radiator at the lowest point, and furthest from the boiler, or does it matter. Do I close ALLl radiator valves in the house or the one that I am draining from. Cheers Charley

Hi. I want to drain the central heating system to insert sludge remover and inhibitor. Now have have gone through the system twice and cannot find a draincock. Central heating was installed in the late 80's. Now if this is the case and the drain cock does not exist, what is the quickest...

Its a full turn.

I am having a problem with my bathroom mixer tap. It is single hole, but the hot tap, which we was having trouble giving a correct water supply now has no water coming from it. The cold is fine. Can we change the spindle inside the hot mixer tap, and is it easy to remove, or do you need to...
