Our builders have installed a 250L horizontal Everflo cylinder with a thermostat that shuts off the hot water when the cylinder is up to temperature. With the thermostat set to 45 and the boiler flow temp set to 65, the thermostat never switches off, even though the water in the cylinder is over...

In an effort to control my extremely high gas consumption, I turned down the "flow setpoint" temperature on my Keston Heat 55 boiler from 70 degrees to 48 degrees. This has substantially reduced my gas usage. I have underfloor heating and this new temperature seems to be high enough for that...

I hope someone will be able to help. This morning i found water all over the floor under the hot water cylinder and i traced the leak to one of the thermostats attached to the hot water cylinder. I have contacted a plumber who i have used before who is pretty sure it is a cracked cylinder (he...

Hi, I got my internal porch door which I 'm unable to find the key anymore. The door is already unlocked but the cylinder won't come out as usually the pin inside keeps it stuck. On youtube, a guy snaps it on both sides but to be honest I'm worried to apply a lot of force as I will be damaging...

Hi All, Hoping someone might be able to solve this conundrum. I have a hot water cylinder with a boiler. I recently drained the system and washed out the radiators. I have no hot water and no heating. The boiler fires up, the 2x two port valves turn the valve to their open position. The...
