Hi all So, prior to buying a thermoststi. Show I've been looking at some of the online PDF install instructions for the various triton thermo showers which work with a combi system. In the manuals it talks a out the min/max static pressure and running pressure. I've bought a pressure gauge...

Hi all Im thinking about putting a thermostatic shower in but am curious about a couple of things i've seen on the various posts. 1) People seem to have issue with regard to boiler sizing, will a thermostatic shower work ok with my vokera compact 24 or is it too small a boiler? 2) What...

Hi all. So im getting around to replacing the cast iron stack while im swapping the toilet out and have a couple of questions. As the boss etc is so much bulkier that the original cast iron one it sticks out to far from the house so ive turned it 90degrees and come at it from the side. it...

Hi all. Just a quick one. I've seen on a few different post notes about replacing the horizontal portion of a cast soil pipe when fitting new toilets, but its not really possible for me. the run from the soil stack to existing toilet goes straight from the stack in to the house direct and...

Hi all. There's a mini consumer unit in my garage which runs a lighting ring and sockets ring (6A & 16A breaker respectively). Now and again when im using tools in there the sockets breaker trips, mostly when using my dewalt mitre saw (only now and again though, not every time. It seems a...

Hi I'm looking to install my +3 digistat rf on to my vokera 24 boiler and am just a little confused. I have a battery operated thermostat at the moment so there's no mains in to the existing one, just the blue and brown for the switching on/off and speedster l/n/e for the actual boiler...

Hiya all. So, I'm after balancing my rad and have my thermometers ready. after reading through some posts it seem relatively straight forward but I'm unclear if you need to check the temps while the heating is warming up from cold or not. The reason I ask is that while checking the temp on...

So, after sorting out my leaking PRV on monday all seemed to be well. Then i noticed that the pressure does drop slightly. I think i've tallied up that its actually when i request hot water. If my pressure on the CH is 1bar (when boiler not in use), i call for hot water and then notice that...

Hi I've just purchased a new thermostat to replace my wireless one (old one being Norstmann HRFS1), the new one being non wireless. I've gone for a centaurstat 7 but am getting a little confused about the apparent 2 wire install. From my vokera compact 24 i have four wires which...

Hi all. So, after my cereal heating issues over the last week I was assuming that my pressure issues were a leak in the system whereas in fact the PRV just constantly dripping out. Now, it doesn't surprise me that it enagaged as I had a problem with the wireless thermostat which didn't...

Hi guys. So, i've got a couple of sludgy radiators that im going to remove this weekend in order to clean and just have a couple of questions. I guess its worth mentioning that this is for a combi boiler so i guess its what they call a sealed system. 1) When taking the rads off, is it best...

Hi all. To control the central heating on my vokera combi, i was have a horstmann T50 wireless thermostat and receiver ( i think it might also be known as a HRFS1). All of a suddan, the thermostat does not now switch the heating off. It will kick the heating on no problem (on a program or...

Hi all. Over the last few days my freezer alarm has been going off and the only way to stop it is just hit the fast freeze button and leave it on. Anyone know why it would do this? The door is certainly closed properly. Could it be an issue with the door seal or maybe the thermostat...

hi all. i wonder if you can clarify something for me. my washer/dryer door seal as a hole in it. the hole is located at 6 o'clock approximately and is actually near enough next to the edge on the drum side of the seal. do i need to bother replacing this or will water getting through this...

Hi all. Im replacing our existing wireless roomstat/receiver with a new one which also has 5/2 program option (We have a vokera combi boiler) So, i wire it up, switch on and all seems well and good, hot water works fine but as soom as i up the temp to force the heating on (to test the RF...

Hi all. Since fitting a new tap into my kitchen (mixer tap) the cold water just comes out in a jet that spurts water just about everywhere! The hot water is fine. The kitchen tap is the only one affected, bathroom cold/hot are both fine. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi guys I've got to replace a couple of single sockets in my living room and i'm going to replace them with doubles instead. Do all new sockets need to be double poled or is single still fine? Thanks

Hi there. I know there seem to have been several post regarding single overns and how to supply them and i note from these that i'm able to simply plug my new single over into a 13a socket (also recommneded in the instructions) My question relates to the location of that socket ie does it...
