Thanks, Dan. Does the fan sound like a plausible reason. Something to do with not running fast enough to engage a pressure switch? Seemed strange to me that this would often be the case when it was turned on by the timer but never when reset manually. Surely the speed the fan spins at can't...

My Suprima 50L frequently goes into lockout mode - flashing red light - when the central heating and hot water is due to come on. When the reset button is pressed, it ALWAYS restarts and the heating and hot water come on as expected. I have had the PCB replaced with a new one and all the...

Hi, everyone. I have a four-way mixer setup on my bath at home. There is a pump between the hot water cistern and the hot tap to boost the pressure of the hot water to a high enough level that it can mix in the tap without the cold overpowering it. The pump sits at the bottom of the airing...

I recently moved into a house which has shower pump on the hot-water supply to a mixer tap and shower head on the bath. The pump is located in the airing cupboard next to the bath. It is this pump - http://www.shower-spares.co.uk/mira/mira_PP2_shower_pump.htm With the pump turned off, the...

Thanks for the quick reply. It looks like this is a single pump - hot water in and pumped hot water out. Would it be a shower pump?

The house I moved into has a mixer tap in the bathroom. Recently the hot pressure dropped markedly. There is a pump which is situated on the pipe which feeds the hot water tap and pumps when the hot tap is opened. This is no longer pumping, which is causing the problem. I think the cold...

I've just taken the second actuator valve off - after a bit of a struggle - and, indeed, there's a rust-coloured stain on the back of it so it looks like the valve is leaking. This means the valve and actuator will need replacing, right? Any idea of a ballpark cost for this?

Yeah, sorry for the confusion. At first I thought it was just coming on with the HW but I'm now certain that CH pump has been running continuously. The green light is constantly flashing and the CH pump runs, then stops briefly, then starts off running again, and it's extremely hot to touch...

Thanks a million for the swift response. On the photo, would it be the lower of the two actuator valves which would be controlling the CH? I ask because the top one came off the pipework very easily but the lower one in the cupboard seems to be stuck. I didn't force it as I didn't want to...

Here's the situation. I had the central heating turned off for a couple of months. I turned it on briefly to dry some clothes over a radiator. Now the radiators are on permanently The boiler is constantly flashing green, which I believe means that it's being asked for hot water. I...

Hi, everyone. I want to install these type of taps and showerhead in a bath. www.tapstore.com/acatalog/Laser_4_hole_bath_set.html I have found technical drawings with sizes, etc, for them but have not been able to find any info on what is needed "below the level of the bath". At...

I'm a keen DIY enthusiast thinking of embarking on a bathroom renovation. The tiling etc is not a concern but the plumbing bit will be something new to me. Only previous experience is fitting a new kitchen sink. My main issues are - 1) Relocating the bath. The taps will be moved about two...
