Will do.

10mins or not, gonna have to do the job next weekend now as family stuff's come up... but thanks for all the great suggestions guys!(y)

I guess I could cut the pipe first then just remove the paint around the compression ends (with whatever technique), saves me having to remove paint off a section thats beng cut off :)

@dilalio... not bought the Magnaclean yet... so not too late to consider another filter

@dilalio... posted my last message before reading your last reply... tf1 looks like the better option by the sounds of it

@dilalio... had another quick look at the Fernox tf1 omega and the build quality does look way superior to the magnaclean, but what I also need to know is if it cleans way better (but that probably needs more research online!)

...fortunately no paint on the back of the pipe, only front and sides

It's not lead paint and just a normal heat gun :) ...so think I'll opt for that approach. As for the filter, I think I spent about an hour or two online yesterday reading umpteen threads on the subject of which filter is best and was still unsure at the end of it!... some swear by the...

it's a 22mm pipe... I was inclined to use the heat gun but was worried about the solder in the elbow joint... I guess the cold water in the pipe would help some with that

...the return pipe is the pipe on the right of course.

Hi, I am thinking of fitting a magnaclean filter on the boiler return pipe... but the pipe has at least two layers of gloss paint on it! (see attached pic). I know this has been asked before but what is the easiest AND safest way you'd recommend to remove the paint? I've seen Nitromor's...

No separate frost thermostat... unfortunately for the time being I can't investigate the problem any further as soon as I turn the central heating system completely off rest of the family start complaining it's too cold!!... so may have to come back to it after the Xmas break or when the weather...

Stem... the tp5000si wiring you think looks fine, so then it could just be a faulty tp5000si I guess?

Stem... my HW normally set on "Twice" ie comes on two times a day, once early in the morning and once in late afternoon before we get in. However to rule it out completely I turned it off... so basically the CH & HW on the programmer were set to the "OFF" position the thermostat was turned...

Still none the wiser why things aren't working as expected... may get someone in to look at the wiring set up to see if it was wired properly originally

Stem... that was my understanding too... just got confused what was meant by "Swap wire from t3 to t1" in an earlier message :)

...just to emphasis with the old thermostat there is no scenario where the boiler remains on when the thermostat is turned down below the room temperature

Just so you know the boiler is a Glowworm Micron 60FF, and the boiler, programmer & t6360B mechanical thermostat were all fitted about 15years ago by a Corgi Registered heating engineer. I still have the Installation Log Book with the chaps Corgi Registration details.... but he's retired now...

Hello, Apologies first if this has already been asked but I couldn't find the answer or help I was looking for I have a conventional boiler and I recently swapped out my mechanical Honeywell T6360B room thermostat for the digital battery powered Danfoss TP5000si. After completing set up (as...
