    Adding Cylinder Thermostat to Gravity Hot Water

    Hi Robert, I was wondering how you got on with the modifications to fit the zone valve and stat. How did it work out for you.? I am looking to do something similar. Regards, Tony

    Hi, I am new to the forum and new to CH systems. We moved to a large property with c. 15 radiators on a single level operating from an old oil fired boiler. Many of the rads only get hot at only the top 5-10 cm and I was thinking of flushing and refilling with the preventers etc. I have...
