    Can someone explain this hot water system for me? (potential house purchase)

    If the system isn't already fully pumped then spend your money on changing it to fully pumped. Your hot water will recover in the time it takes someone to bath, towel down and preen their hair!

    Pipe guard

    Hi, I've been looking into ways of protecting my house and came across something called pipe guard that shuts the mains water off when an unusual flow is detected. Has anyone experienced this product and is there anything better on the market? Thanks for any replies Jon

    Combi filling loop linked to the flow pipe

    Hi could someone please tell me if it matters that the filling loop to a combi (Evo HE) is linked to the flow pipe as MI states it should be on return? The valve that is on the filling loop itself that links to the flow pipe leaks as you switch it on....... Please note *** I have not fitted...

    Hot water from outside tap

    Thanks for the reply, I think the water was around 30 degrees so I guess not that hot. What you say is a possibilty but I did get a gush of cold water come out first then the hot. It's just with the other problem of the rads needing bleeding I wondered if this was an indication of all not being...

    Hot water from outside tap

    I meant what is it's exact purpose in that particular location given that it is in the MI. I know what a check valve does (backflow etc) but it obviously mustn't have that much of a purpose if the original installer didn't install one. It's a bit like you really, you know what an apostrophe...

    Hot water from outside tap

    That might not be clear enough- problem occurred before I layed a spanner or did any work on the property.

    Hot water from outside tap

    Why? Perhaps I wasn't clear that I was describing the symptoms of the originally positioned tap ie- before I put a spanner on it not after. So I think I've done the right thing in raising alarm bells if hot water comes out of it. Finishing the course won't make any difference it's only safety...

    Hot water from outside tap

    Hi, I have an odd problem...I moved an outside tap and I shut the mains stopcock off. When I opened the existing outside tap hot water came though but it wasn't under much pressure and didn't last for long. There is no double check valve on the cold water feed to the boiler, the...

    Rads in loft ion combi system

    Hi I've been asked to put some radiators up in a loft conversion at short notice.... which leaves me short on research time. The system is a combination and while I have done plenty of plumbing before it was several years ago and I've forgotten some of it. The question I have is... Is there...

    Washing machine drain pipe

    Hi, sorry this is a rather basic question.... What's the best instument to use to cut washing machine drain pipes? If I use a large hacksaw I can't seem to get it square as the blade bends.... I've never had any leaks arising from the fact they are not quite square until I got a phone call the...

    Ferroli Modena 80e boiler

    Hi I have a Ferroli Modena boiler and wish to know what it's capacity is with regards to the number of rads it can take. I've had a look on the instructions- http://www.assuredheating.com/specs/Ferroli_Modena.80.pdf .....and on page 5 it gives 2 figures for each for heating output and input-...

    Baxi Bermuda

    Hi my 5 year old Baxi Bermuda does a lot of ticking before it eventually fires- about 2 minutes. Sometimes it doesn't fire and goes into lock out. It was never a good starter even when new but it seems to have got worse. Once the first start up has been successful, all other start ups (after...

    Twyford toilet won't flush

    http://www.mypix.com/uk/uk/photo-album/share?current_album=6005178 Hi, here's the link to the photos. When we push the brass rod down to raise the water level an inch higher it is still over an inch below the overflow. The only thing that I can see is adjustable is the metal rod that goes to...
