    F+E tank filling with hot water

    Hi, A small amount of slit at the bottom of the tank. The boiler stat does turn on and off the boiler. It's set on No.5 (out of 0-6 dial). If i turn the boiler down to No. 4 it gets cold in the house. Thanks

    F+E tank filling with hot water

    Hi, I have an old Ideal back boiler. The boiler stat turns the boiler on and off fine. I do have pump heating and gravity water with no cyl stat. Can you explain to me why you think it's a blockage please. Thanks

    F+E tank filling with hot water

    Hi, Im really not convinced that it is my cylinder but the pumping over seems more likely, I just don't understand where the water is coming from to over flow? Is this because the water is expanding so much due to temperature. Is the stat you are talking about the boiler stat or room stat...

    F+E tank filling with hot water

    Hi, It's the F+E thats filling. I have raised the vent pipe so it's about 400mm above before descending into the tank. I could understand if it was a constant fill but it seems to be a surge of water being dumped into the F+E ever so often. My neighbors have been telling me all of this info as...

    3" soil stack

    Hi, It may be possible and acceptable with doc H but i personally wouldn't advise it as it can lead to problems. I was merely lending my experience.

    3" soil stack

    Hi, I wouldn't advise you to run a 4" pipe into a 3" soil stack, You are asking for trouble. I have many years ago taken out a WC that was piped up to a 3" stack in London but the outlet itself was 3". I have a feeling that most American WC's have a 3" connection. You may be able to get hold...

    can i have a combi

    Hi, You must have some form of heat source for heating up your hot water in your kitchen. Is this the same in the bathroom? Did the "12 year old" estate agent give any reason why he thought having a combi boiler couldn't be done? You will also have to check flue requirements for the boiler...

    White hot water upstairs in basin

    Hi, Sounds like the water has become aerated (billions of little air bubbles). This is your tap doing this as you said that it doesn't happen anywhere else. Can you let me know what tap it is that you have and i will try and get an answer for you. Thanks
