Hi again. Yes, I was careful to make sure I got a double ended pump, and all of the cold taps and toilets etc are currently on the mains water supply, but I'm now running the hot and cold pumped supply to the showers and bath (2 showers, one bath) It's a 100 gallon cold water tank...

Thanks all for the advice I had a little trouble posting the link to the flange I'll be using but it's here http://www.screwfix.com/p/salamander-s-flange-22mm/76906 The supply to the pump will be from the special outlet from the flange, and I'll take the vent pipe up from the normal...

Thanks both for the replies. Actually, I've gone for an open vented cylinder, and the pump is going AFTER the cylinder. I'm slightly concerned that if the water in the tank drops too far, then the water in the vent pipe will also be low, and this might mean air being sucked into the pump...

Hi guys, I'm looking for some reassurance I think with this one! I'm in the process of upgrading cylinder, cws tank, and have just installed a brand new 100gallon polytank in the loft, and am intending to put the cylinder underneath when it arrives on Tuesday. The tank is right up into the...

Hello guys, I'm about to undertake quite an ambitious job but I think it will be worth it in the end. Apologies if this turns out to be a long post. We live in a big old victorian semi, which has been knocked about a lot - it was two flats at one point, and a residential home in the past...

Thanks for the advice guys! Just to lead on from what you said - if the pipework looks ok is it still ok to use it? Even if it's quite old? Impossible to determine the exact age but does copper pipe have a lifespan? Is it worth flushing it out? I don't expect that the correct procedures have...

Hello Everyone This is my first post so I thought I'd start with something simple (not!) We've just moved into a 100year old house which has been knocked about considerably. 20 years ago it was two flats, with separate heating and electricity systems, then it was an old peoples' home for a...
