I'm not aware of any pump. To be sure, I turned off my whole house electric at the main consumer unit, and was still able to draw hot and cold water.

In my house, if I turn on the hot tap, no water comes. If I leave the hot tap on, and then quickly turn the cold tap on and off, I hear a "thump" from the pipes and the hot tap starts flowing. This normally fixes it for a few hours, and then the issue comes back. This issue happens at many of...

Sounds like I have the same issue, though, doesn't it?

My Ideal boiler also just started wheezing, I took a video: I'm guessing it's air in the system maybe?

Operating correctly in that it pumps water when supplied with power. (My underlying issue is that my heating isn't working and I'm trying to independently test each of the components.)

I would like to verify that my Grundfos Selectric UPS 15-50 Pump is operating correctly. (n.b. I have already confirmed that it hasn't seized, by manually turning the pump through the air vent hole with a screwdriver.) Are the below steps valid: Cut mains power to house. Open pump to reveal...

Thanks. How do they "tell" the boiler to come on though? Via what means?

I have an Ideal Classic FF boiler. When I request hot water for taps or radiators it should fire. I'm trying to work out how it knows to do this. Referring to the documentation and inspecting the boiler, it looks like it has just three external connections: Mains power in. Water in. Water out...

I have a Honeywell T6360 thermostat that I suspect is failing and would like to confirm that before I replace it. (Symptom: radiators not turning on). Looking at the wiring diagram, would I be correct in thinking if I short pins 1 and 3 it would simulate the effect of the temperature being high...

Good advice, thanks. O ring had been ripped in two. I've got a box of assorted replacements coming tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Do you reckon I'd be OK to disconnect the supply and turn this part anticlockwise to take a look?

I have a slow leak from the neck of my tap as shown in this video: What are my options to repair this, or does the whole tap need replacing?

Thanks. Are you referring to the blue Neutral wire on pin 2? I might splash out for a Tado V3+ which looks quite good.

What's a good one? The photo above shows my wiring.

I have a Honeywell T6360 thermostat and ST6450 digital programmer. Sometimes I notice that the radiators and house are cold. I go and check the HEATING red LED on the ST6450 programmer and it is lit, indicating that the radiators and house should be warm. I then check the thermostat and if I...

Thanks! I've added that detail.

Just for completeness I've compiled all the info in this thread into a single image here: https://kuula.co/post/7P9V6

Wait, only just noticed this helpful sticker: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Gk35c37rcFszWq8p6 Have followed instructions and it's still dripping, I'll leave it overnight and see if it stops.

I noticed a dripping from a pipe on the side of the house outside, once per second. Traced it back to the tundish in my boiler cupboard. (between 1 and 6 below). Another photo: https://kuula.co/share/7P9V6?fs=1&vr=0&zoom=1&thumbs=1&chromeless=0&logo=0 Looks like I need a plumber to come...
