Many factors, how well is your hose insulated? How good are your windows? How warm do you like it? Will you be heating bath water on demand, or will you have a hot water tank? If you heat hot water on demand, you need to have around 27Kw minimum to get a decent flow of water for a bath or...

Put your hose take off before the limiter, even if you have to move the limiter, that way you get the best of both worlds, but make a test first to see if it helps or not with regard to the screaming!!!!

You need a spot on the pipe where you can add a vertical tube, as wide as you can get, 22mm being the minimum, which will tend to collect most, probably not all, of the air in the water in it. It should be on the house side of the reducer if you install one. Or at the top of your hill where...

I may be shooting in the dark, but a couple of ideas have come to mind for you:- 1) Put pressure reducer in the line, near to the house (or in) as possible. Set to say 2 bar (about 28lbs/Sq.Inch)....as a starting level, see if all the taps run as fast as you need them to, especially...

Basil was right in all unforgettable 13 episodes..... I thought there was more, but a colleague says no, only 13, sad really!!

Hi, fantastic purpose built house with top insulation and top heating.... But, most of us would have to first knock down our houses or at least move and/or re-build....it is not an option that many people will have.... It would appear to be underfloor heating, which I...

Let me guess, you live in the USA? Right. Then you may not have access to the types of radiators we have here in Europe (particularly Germany) I feel, double and triple rads are easy to get hold of, I assume you know what I am talking about..... As I correctly stated before, they do not...

Dear Scousegit, I guess when people like you stop replying to it........and just ignore it!!! But then why bother even to read it in the first place if you have no interest at all? or are my words like some strong drug that you just cannot say NO to?? Have a great day and "Gan Yem" asap....

Dear BB. If you had read through my posts, you would see that is exactly what I said. Years ago I tried x4 (double rad, twice as long) and it did exactly what I wanted, so I stayed with it. But I am not a test laboratory, it worked and takes up no more "noticeable" space than a normal...

Please read slowly, you may then notice I never posted a question, I gave an answer!!!

I have no question per se. There was some unfriendly critic from several people who do not believe that what I have been doing successfully for the last 12 years actually works....but of course they themselves will never actually try it out either, their loss to my mind!!! They also showed...

Your reply was eagerly read and fully understood. Your needs are quite different to ours as we have rooms that are sometimes not used for several days in the week, so they are just "Frost watched" for safety reasons, but seldom drop below 14-16°C, even in the coldest weather. Our kitchen...

It would appear that certain elements are critical of the infos I have documented for reasons unknown. I personally see this more as "Green with envy" for some small childish reason only known to themselves...... Nobody forces any of you to read any of the postings, nor does following any...

Weather compensation is needed, but if the rads are undersized, the only effect is that the water must be made incredibly hot to achieve the required room temperatures. Having to heat the water to 80°C or more makes the rads dangerous to both children, pets and adults alike......(having a...

Own house experience only with regard to rad sizes. It could be that only 3 x or even 2 x would achieve a close or similar result, who knows? I only tested 4 x.... I do all my own work (Carpentry, electrical, Water, Central heating, chimney work, Sat dish installs [Wave Frontier!! The...

You wrote:- Q.The use of a plural forced my less-superior brain to think you meant more than one room (as is normally the case when reading a plural). A.I did mean more than one room, as I have done this in most of the house with no problems attached. Thats why I used the...

As I have mentioned before, but maybe you missed it, if the boiler in your house is undersized for the house (or is not correctly set up or needs an overhaul), I agree, you might have the problems you mentioned. But if it is correctly sized or as I also recommended in another blog, ( no...

As I have mentioned before, but maybe you missed it, if the boiler is undersized for the house (or is not correctly set up or needs an overhaul), you might have the problems you mentioned. But if it is correctly sized or as I also recommended in another blog, ( no house should have less...

You have not thought your reply out well. If your boiler is so short in power that it cannot supply enough water to heat up rads that are 4 x larger than what would normally be installed for that room, then the whole system is undersized for your whole house anyway.......you must freeze...

I have lived in Germany since 1981. Computer specialist, retired. Active DIYer, used to build cars for a hobby, angler when I have time. I have built several built in cupboards with display and fluorescent lighting. At present rebuilding our kitchen from the ground up, been at it for 3 months...
