pressure

Hello I have a Worcester condensing boiler and recently changed the towel rail in the bathroom. I filled up the new towel rail and then topped up the boiler a little to return the pressure to normal. However, now when I run the boiler the pressure goes up high to 3 bar. So I bled the...

I have a gravity fed system which consists of a cold water storage tank in the loft and a hot water tank on the ground floor in an airing cupboard. The hot water pressure on the ground floor in the kitchen and toilet is decent, which is expected as the water has a longer drop from the loft. On...

Has anyone known a Grant 26 combi (external) to leak internally into the flame chamber? For the approx four weeks, every morning the boiler has lost all it's pressure. I refill the system to 1.2 bar, and it kicks back in, and works fine - rads toasty warm and hot water is hot! This may last two...

Hello everyone, My home has a BAXI DUO-TEC COMBI 24 HE. The radiators won't heat up even though the boiler is showing a green light saying they are running. The hot water is still working though. I've tried bleeding radiators and then pressurising the boiler after but I still have the same...

I have a soil stack in my attic that I discovered is open. I fitted a Durgo AAV but this caused gases to build up and leak out from the bath p trap. I took the Durgo off and the smell stopped. So I'm thinking I need to vent the soil stack externally. My roof is asymmetrical, it rises to the top...

I am currently using a system boiler (Ideal Mexico Super 2) and water tank, which is about 30 years old. I'm looking to replace this with a Viessmann 100-W (B1KF) 32Kw combi. I was wondering would I be likely to see a significant difference if 2 showers run at once? I'd like to avoid needing to...

I have a combi boiler driven heating system and a mixer tap in the shower, the one with temperature control knob. After a shower, when I turn off the tap, it doesn't go to zero position but the water stops completely at say 30/100 position (100= fully open). Then after few hours, mostly in the...

Hi everyone, I went to top up my Logic S15 boiler earlier as the pressure gauge was at zero. I’d done this before so I knew to expect to hear rushing water through the pipes when i turned the valve, but I heard nothing. I unscrewed the filling loop because i thought that might be the issue, but...

Hi, so recently my electric shower started running lukewarm at settings where it would usually run nice and hot. To get it to run hot, it has to be turned to higher settings, but with that, the water pressure drops significantly. I’ve also noticed that the half power light is no longer lit...

Hi, The pressure on my boiler is low and has error E118. I don’t see any filling loop under the boiler but there’s is one near the unvented indirect cylinder. Does anybody now how I guy about adding pressure? thanks .

I just bought my first pressure washer and in reading the manual it has a dire warning about not connecting it to the regular water supply without a specialist backflow preventer. I did a lot of research before I finally bought a washer and this is the first I've heard of this. Is it something...

Hi All I have just moved into a new house in deepest west Wales. It is a recently converted old farm house. It is a modest sized house with about a dozen radiators. The plumbing is relatively quite new (about 10 years). In the corner of our utility room the is an absolutely huge pressure vessel...

Hi, I have recently moved into a new build apartment block (the building was completed in 2018). I live on a fifth floor and the water pressure here is pretty bad. The block has a communal central boiler and all apartments have water pressure valves/gauges on the main cold water pipe marked as...

Hi, just looking for some advice before I get a plumber in to investigate this for us. we moved in to a detached house 3 years ago, house is about 20 years old with a gravity fed system. Boiler was replaced about 6 years ago. During recent kitchen refit, fitters suggested our water pressure was...

Hi, We need to presurise our Vaillant Ecotec 24, but for some reason there doesn't seem to be a handle on the valve? Any tips on how we can presurise? I've posted a picture for reference.

First time living in a house with a combi. When I run the cold tap it triggers the combi hot water setting, I've checked the pipes and they are all connected correctly. The combi is just over a metre from the cold tap, is this just the slight pressure drop triggering as the boiler is so close to...

Hi, Our boiler pressure is currently reading at 0. The heating is still working (not too sure how or why!), but I think we need to increase the pressure as some radiators are not bleeding (no air or water coming out). I’m trying to work out where I need to put the filling tube but I’m not...

I have a 2yr old Ideal Logic C35 boiler which is losing pressure 5 to 6 times a day. To diagnose whether it was the boiler or system, I done the following: 1 At 1am when the boiler hadn't been used for over 2hrs, I put the pressure upto 2 bars. 2 I isolated the boiler by turning the CH flow and...

Hi All, I recently moved to a new place. I am noticing a significant fluctuation in the pressure at operation (given my limited past experience) in the gas boiler and I just wanted to check whether that is ok for this model/seek some advice. Details -Vailant turbomax plus -small 2 floor...

New Vaillant Ecotec pro 30 boiler installed in August, worked OK for two months then the pressure suddenly dropped. Tried to raise it but it shot right up and made a very loud constant noise that we could only stop by turning water completely off. So no heating or water at all for a few days...
