Hi , has anyone got any suggestions of how I can match some existing slabs? They are quite unusual - a natural pebble finish. They are at least 15 years old and are 40cm Square. Are there any websites, or suppliers of old slabs? Any suggestions gratefully received as I don't want to replace...

Hi, I have a bath/shower mixer (one from ultra-group). It has two taps on it one feeding the shower, the other for the bath - plus a separate temperature control. The problem I have is that the unit only provides really low flow on the hot water - it works fine with the cold. I initially...

Our kitchen floor is a block & beam floor built in 1989. I would ideally like to install underfloor heating (UFH),and I was wondering whether I could: 1. Lift the screed base 2. Install insulation boards 3. Install UFH pipes 4. Tile This would mean the floor height would still be around...

Hi All, my mate has had problems with his Glow Worm Boiler. I'm unsure of the model number at this stage, but it is only about 5 years old. Initially the PCB blew up, which was replaced ok. What he did notice a little while later was water near the PCB. Its only a small leak/weap, but it...

Hi, I have just installed a VRC 430 wall mounted connected via Ebus to a ecoTEC 618. I am trying to work out what function to set to enable the temp sensor in the VRC430. Using the manual it mentions screen C8 Room Temperature Control which gives 3 options - none, modulating and...

Hi, I am having a vertical flue fitted with my new boiler next week. Before you all ask, the plumber is Corgi registered. My only concern is his approach to fitting the vertical flue. We have a tiled pitched roof, and he is providing a Vaillant Vertical Flue Kit, with associated tile...

Hi, I am hiring a powerflush for a day to give my system a clean prior to having a new boiler fitted. (Yes, before anyone asks, the boiler will be fitted by a corgi plumber - I am just saving on labour costs by doing this bit myself) I have been recommended KAMCO FX2 as I can use this in...

Hi, I am getting a Vaillant 600 series System Boiler and auroSTOR unvented cylinder with a plan for the addition of solar next year. I have had several corgi plumbers around to give quotes, but they all seem to leave me to decide what size boiler I want. I tell you what I know, and I would be...

I am looking for a TMV to limit the temperature of the DHW output of my unvented solar cylinder. I want to avoid a TMV which significantly reduces my flow rate, but at the right price. The Horne Heatstat T2 appears to be designed for the job. Does anyone have any other preferences?

Hi, I'm trying to finalise a spec for my replacement DHW/CH system. I want to get in a few quotes but would like to have a fairly firm idea of what I want so that the plumbers are all 'singing from the same song sheet'. I want unvented cylinder, a system boiler, the ability to add solar on...

Hi, I am looking for comments on the Intelligent System Pack. If anyone has fitted this I would like to know what they thought of it. Basically I am having a replacement bolier (Greenstar 30 CDi System Boiler) and controls fitted. I like the appeal of the optimiser (delaying the start of CH...

Hi, I have a grundfos super selectric 15-60. If I have it on speed 2 everything works fine, but I get water trickling back into the feeder tank via the vent pipe. If I have the pump on speed 1 the boiler temp trips out on CH and HW. I have been into the loft, and the height of the vent pipe...

Hi, I recently changed a radiator, so as the system was partially drained I topped up with inhibitor. Before adding Sentinel X100 & X200 I noticed that the header tank had dark 'gunge' (apologies no better word to describe it) around the waterline and in the bottom. I was surprised as I only...

Hi, recently changed valve & head (head burnt out). Wired up as instructed, completed all checks and confirm working as expected. I have noticed that a 'feature' that is probably there all the time, but only apparent when you start looking. If you have HW Tank stat satisfied, the controller...

Hi can you help? I have recently successfully de-scaled my boiler with DS-40 (added to H/W side only for 24hrs, then neutralised). As part of that process I drained the whole system and added inhibitor (Sentnel X-100 plus X-200). Unfortunately I now have some form of debris rattling in a...
