We have very hard water and my Aqualisa Midas Plus shower gets scaled up and the valves are stiff to turn. I have to replace the temperature cartridge every couple of years. The shower runs off a Vaillant Combi Boiler. Would a simpler non thermostatic mixer shower without a temperature...

I need a 20 to 30 metre hose BUT am fed up with the hoselock hoses I have bought in the past which seem so stiff and often the connectors seem to leak ! Would Gardena and Karcher hoses and connectors be any better ?

Thinking of buying a Bosch GardenPump 18 to drop in a water butt and connect to a hose to water the plants. If you've tried one or something similar please post your comments !

I want an unvented hot water cylinder with immersion heater in case my Vaillant Eco Tec 831 plus combi boiler fails and we can at least have hot water until it gets fixed. I recently had the Vaillant serviced by a Heating Engineer who said there is no need to turn the Vaillant into a...

My soon to be replaced Combi Boiler is in the loft which is not easy to get to for an engineer to service it or for me to climb up to find out why it has failed. I will be replacing it with a system boiler and unvented hot water tank. Any thoughts on the ideas I have come up with: SYSTEM...

Last year I asked what people thought about getting rid of my gas boiler and heating the house with oil filled radiators and using an immersion heaters. Everyone laughed and I understand why, My reason for wanting heating by electric instead of gas is that heaters and immersion heaters are...

I have a well insulated 3 bedroom semi-detached house with a 13 year old 24kwh gas combi boiler and 9 radiators. In the winter I keep the temperature at 20 and throughout the year I use 14,000kwh of gas. My energy supplier said if the house were heated only using electricity that an estimate...

My boiler came with the property and is no longer under warranty. I have had several expensive visits from the manufacturers service team for the same low pressure problem and despite their Valiant efforts (geddit) in replacing the same parts several times I have had enough ! I am thinking of...

Our Combi Boiler had a fault and we had no hot water for showers or baths for several days. I am thinking of changing it to a system boiler with a separate hot water cylinder and immersion heater. If the system boiler failed and couldn't heat water for the radiators, would we still be able to...

The house I bought already had a 2007 Vaillant ecoTEC PLUS 831 R1 installed. It had been very reliable for the past 8 years until March 2019 when I regularly got F22. A Vaillant engineer came out under Vaillants £300 fixed fee repair and found the bottom of the cabinet swimming in water. He...
