    Need a quiet shower pump

    The pump is only used for the shower/bath (via selector tap) and the sink in the bathroom. I dont want it waking the baby when a) the wife goes for her usual 5 toilet trips during the night.. :P b) when it decides to randomly turn on. Amit

    Possible problem with my shower pump. Turns on randomly

    not sure what you mean by dead legs. There is a surrey flange in the top of the tank which feeds the hot side of the hot side directly. The top out let of the surrey flange goes downstairs and to the loft for expansion. The cold side is a direct feed from the loft.

    Pilot light wont light even with match.

    There is a difference between lighting a pilot and starting to pull it apart. Changing the thermocouple is a very easy job too, but I still got the plumber to do it. Anyway the guy is booked and is coming out. Amit

    I dont care what you believe. I have a corgi registered plumber who has recently serviced the boiler and also previously replaced the thermocouple. I have no intention of replacing any part myself.. but I am the type of guy who likes to know what is going on so I dont go into a situation...

    Its the tanks from screw fix that have the small lids on top. The tank it also very close to the roof so makes getting the pipe in the top difficult. How high does it have to loop up the top? Thanks Amit

    Expansion pipes to the storage tank

    Do expansion pipes from the top of the cylinder have to loop up over the water storage tank and come down from above? or can they be fitted to the side of the tank above the water line? I have new sealed tank to install and it would be easier to put it in the side a little higher than the...
