Hi Everyone, Thanks to some help I have purchased a Stuart Turner pump to replace my almost dead Bristan Varispeed. Looking at a few threads it seems it depends on your set up when it comes to installation. In terms of removing the old pump, would the best course of action be as follows: Turn...

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...

Hi we have a tribune range cylinder which stores hot water and also has a switch for immersion heater. The problem we have is that the upstairs rooms get extremely warm due to the heat from the tank. We do not have the immersion heater on due to hot water coming from the boiler. How can I turn...

Hello People First time posting on here but reckon you have the expert knowledge I need :) We've just moved into a new house, 30s semi. It currently has a standard C/H and H/W system: a working, but ancient Potterton Suprima boiler, hot water cylinder and cold water feed in the loft. We're...

I have had a look and seen some posts related to Primatic cylinders in the past but I just thought that I would see if anyone can offer any advice. Recently involved in a job with a Primatic cylinder and have ordered a new one to replace like for like. I've heard that the best way to fill these...

Hi, I’ve changed normal Euro cylinders in the past without a hitch. We’ve a just moved into a new home and I’d like to change the locks out of good practice, however, these locks seem to be different to what I’m used to. Im guessing they’re just normal Euro cylinders but that I’m missing...

Hello knowledgeable folks. I have an issue that occurred about a year ago and has come up again. I have a Santon Premier Indirect Unvented heating cylinder and when the heating system is running there appears to be water discharge from the tundish. This is not a constant discharge, because...

I’ve had many engineers with no luck, please help! I am running a glow worm 30 HXI boiler, approx 3 years old. It is a three zone system - one zone is the underfloor heating consisting of 5 loops (approx. 35sqm room), another zone is the rads consisting of 7 rads (6 have TRV's) and the final...

We have just had a old gravity system removed and a new system boiler installed, the unvented cylinder has been placed in the loft. The loft is boarded with chipboard and the cylinder is sat in the middle of two joists with a wall running underneath. Is this safe?

Hi all, We've just moved house from a small place with a combi, to a place with a cylinder system. This type of system is all new to me, so apologies for asking any obvious questions! Firstly, does anyone by chance know the approximate age of an Ideal Classic RS Room Sealed boiler? Corgi Home...

Good morning all. We've just moved house and noticed that the HW Cylinder Thermostat was only set to 50 deg C and the hot water didn't last for long. I've raised the temp to 60 but now we are getting really loud noises coming from the airing cupboard when the heating has been on for about 1 1/2...

Hi all, Recently installed a nice little shower pump ....... and shower/taps mixer as our new flat only had a bath. Only problem since turning everything back on is that we don't get any hot water from the cylinder unless the immersion is on. Obviously going to be costing us a fortune in the...

Hi all Problem. We're about to add an ensuite to a bedroom. Elsewhere in the house is a shower fed from the main hot water cylinder, and another which is a Mira electric. This takes about 45 amps. The main incoming house fuse is rated at 80 amps, which rules out another electric shower. Looks...

Could this be normal condensation ? Has happened before over winter and dried up ... Just seems quite a bit. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5ES8jXx5QHxa1R5a29FcHYxMW8/view?usp=docslist_api https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5ES8jXx5QHxVlIySDVwTUo1S1U/view?usp=docslist_api

The 250ltr cylinder I have isn't supplying hot water. It's supplies luke warm water or intermittent hottish water. It has been drained down and recharged. Plenty of hot feed from the boiler primaries. There is red hot water from thermo pressure release valve near the top of the tank but...
