I have an MX Atmos Shadow shower with exposed cartridge. Does anyone know how to remove these? I've seen other shows use grub screws but this doesnt seem to have one, the cartridges will rotate using a little bit of force. I tried rotating a few times and it didnt seem to start coming out and i...

An update for everyone and i've spotted where the water is coming from...the over the top pipe (red pipe on my photos) into the cistern. Its not constant, but did some testing by getting my partner to change the pump speed while i was in the loft and it was not coming out on speed 1...

The CWST is higher than the F&E cistern so thats not possible? The ballcock level in the F&E is roughly (by eye) the level of the bottom of the CWST. Unless i've misunderstood what you've said? Having magnetite in the system is the only thing we've been able to confirm 100% so its still the...

I do have an isolation tap, but its jammed so I tied up the ballcock last night, shortly after my last message. The pump is on speed 1, the water level is now about 5cm from the overflow pipe and the HW was on for 1.25 hours this morning and has currently been on for 25mins this eve so far (will...

No solid fuel system. I will tie it up and see what happens

I havent put the CH on recently and i can only have the CH on at the same time as HW. I have not noticed the level drop when the water is cooling and i have not been up in the loft at the time the HW turns on, but i can arrange that to see what happens. Should it drop a bit when the pump starts...

No air is being drawn in from the vent. The pump is in the correct orientation. Its not filling through the ballcock valve, its filling through the pipe at the bottom (The blue one on my photos, im not sure what its correct name is). The ballcock valve is closed as its meant to be. I have...

after a little while yes

Thanks everyone. It seems i have my answer. Time to spend some money!

I put a magnet on the T piece and it does stick, it also sticks on the pipe down to the pump and the curve above to where it meets the other T piece. I assume this is where the blockage is? I put the hot water on for a couple minutes and the pipe heating up evenly so i couldnt tell where a...

I dont think any water comes out of the pipe going over the top of the tank cistern. I can try bending the arm a bit more, its been the same level for many years so i think its set at a good level, but worth a try. At the level of the line i was talking about, its about 15-20cm below the...

Thanks. I'll check that later and let you know what happens....and i'll call it a cistern in future!

I have attached a couple images of the pipework around the pump. The pipe marked with the red line is from the boiler (I assume) The pipe marked with green is the into and out of the hot water tank The pipe marked with yellow goes to the radiators The pipe marked with blue goes up to the F & E...

Hi, I've seen a few threads about this, but not 100% sure on the answer for me. The F & E tank keeps overflowing when the hot water is on, its like a fast drip and then slows to a slow drip when its off. The water in the F & E is warm and the ball valve is working as it should. When the tank...

Thanks, thats correct. I opened that up and got nothing on the orange and white and got 16V on the grey. This was again when the boiler was fired up and down with CH +HW set to "on" on the controller. If i turn the cylinder stat down to 0, the boiler fires back up and i have heating. I still get...

I cant access the orange wire (or grey), the valve is close to the cylinder (right up against the jacket) and i cant see that side of it very well. I can see roughly where the terminal is, but not exactly. Its upside down from most installation images i see. I checked the white wire and that...

I have a British Gas Multihead G pump just before the motorised valve. I assume this means i do have a pumped system? This pump is working, i can feel the vibrations and it gets hot when running. @stem Your theory sounds quite plausible. I think testing the microswitches is the next step. Which...

Hi all, I would appreciate any advice you can give. I have a gravity fed system with the following equipment: Baxi Solo 15 HE Boiler Potterton EP2000 Controller Honeywell Sundial Y Plan Diverter Valve Honeywell L641A1005 Cylinder Stat Hot water cylinder in airing cupboard upstairs Cold water...
