Thanks, that's what I thought it might be, as the shower has been playing up as well, it's one of those steam showers, take my advice, never ever buy one of those things, nothing but trouble. I can't isolate the shower unfortunately, but it is due for replacement in the next couple of months...

Not far at all, the cyclinder is in the airing cupboard next to the upstairs bathroom tap, but the pipework runs up to the loft and back down again. The puzzling thing is that the downstairs cloakroom next to the kitchen gets hot water fairly quickly, but the kitchen next door, wont get hot...

Hello all, hoping someone might be able to help with some strange goings on with our hot water. We have quite an old condensing boiler which serves an unvented system, which is an albion ultrasteel, that was installed about 5 years ago. We've noticed that some of the taps don't get hot...

Hi all, Please excuse the really dumb questions, but I've got myself mightily confused by all this. I have a rental property, which my builder is currently in the process of refurbing. The front door is a fairly old timber door, which has a top light, which I want to replace. In...

Thanks for the help guys..... as I said, I'm very much a plumbing novice, I just didn't realise that's what you meant "youllneverguess". I'll investigate the non return.

Just thought I'd post a couple of other strange things. In an attempt to find where the water was going, I left the pump running when it was running on, and noticed that after a few minutes, both the cold inlet to the pump and the cold outlet out of the pump were both very hot to the touch, as...

Thanks, just had a chance to check the loft tank, pump isn't running when the tank refills. Strange thing now, is that if I run any tap upstairs for just a split second, the pump will kick in, and now just keeps running for minutes afterwards. Poer cycling it, seems to sort it out. Anyone...

Thanks, but does that mean that the tap/mixer should be leaking while the pump is running? I can't seem to find any leaks anywhere. Been on going for months this, finally driving me bokers :(

Hi all, I'm turning to you guys in desperation. Plumbing isn't really my thing, but I'll try and explain this as best I can. We have a standard gravity fed system, but the whole house operates off a Stuart turner monsoon shower pump. We did have a negative head pump, installed in the airing...
