hot water

Often the hot water fails to come on in the mornings. It works better in winter for some reason, but doesn't always work then. It can usually but not always be made to work by increasing the central heating thermostat so that the boiler comes on. The boiler is a Vokera Eclipse 226 ESS...

Sorry- yet another smart thermostat wiring question. I want to install a Drayton Wiser two channel system. I currently have a Honeywell wireless thermostat (connects to a R6660D) controlling my central heating. I have a Honeywell wired timer (ST9100c) controlling my hot water cylinder. I have...

Hi all, As the title says, my bathroom radiator makes a ticking noise when hot water is running, however makes no noise at all when the heating is running. I’ve bled it in the hope that would help but no joy. Other than this it works fine, just don’t know what it could be or if I should worry...

Hi All, I have a question regarding an electrically heated hot water tank. I'm new to DIY and this forum so apologies in advance if I have posted in the wrong place. There are two heating elements attached to the hot water tank. One at the bottom and one near the middle. The one hear the...

I have a Potterton Suprima which is 21 years old, there's a tank upstairs (in the airing cupboard) which contains an integrated cold feed tank - no tank in loft. For this 21 years I've always had the hot water and central heating to on (no schedule - as there is always someone in the house, the...

Hey Guys. I have economy 7 in my Flat - Which seems to work out very expensive (When i have 3 storage heaters on it is around £6 / £8 a day!). I have 3 Storage Heaters (Lounge, Hallway, Bedroom 1). There are also Panel Heaters in the Lounge, bedroom 2 and 3. The hot water comes from a...

Hi guys Hoping someone can help please. I've just moved in to a flat tenancy in the UK. The boiler is a Potterton Suprima 40litre in the kitchen and we have a Systemate 2000 in the cupboard down the hall. There is a pin timer on the systemate and a thermostat in the hallway on the wall. There...

Hi Guys. I have a Baxi 105 HE. We have an issue where the boiler doesn't come on for the hot water. It does come on when you turn both the basin and bath taps on to full flow. I assume there is a flow valve/switch that detects when the water is flowing. My questions are: 1. Where is it on the...

The boiler is working fine but is an old conventional boiler, and what is quite annoying is that the central heating system has no 'y valve' so you can't have hot water without turning on the heating (in the summer we put the thermostat on minimum but it still comes on). I had some plumbing work...

Hi everyone, need some advice regarding my boiler, I had issues with hot water, sometimes not working, changing temperature while it was running, I thought it was temperature sensor. I have changed it but it made no difference. I've been told to clean heat exchanger as the boiler has displayed...

I see this issue is not a new one, but I have a variable that I wanted to check with you guys before I do anything. I've just moved into a house share, and the room has an en suite shower that has apparently never worked. There is a very slow trickle with the mixer turned to hot, and sometimes...

Help please We had a new Worcester Bosch Greenstar 30cdi system boiler fitted just over 2 years ago by a large power provider. Came with a free two year maintenance contract which ended two weeks ago. Last service was carried out under that contract in February. Over the last few weeks since...

Hi all, we have just bought a new place and the water pressure/flow rate out the hot taps is very low. There is a Condensing Combi boiler, Worcester Greenstar 28i Junior that is in the loft. So there is a ground floor and a first floor in the house and then above that is the loft. I have had...

Hi, I have a hot water cylinder and cold water cistern in the loft and need to turn off the hot water supply so I can change a faulty tap in the bathroom. I’ve located the 22m pipe that goes into the bottom of the cylinder from the cold water cistern but there is no visible gate valve on the...

Hi all, We will be having a new heating system installed, plumbers are currently very busy elsewhere, and I really want to get a kitchen floor back down (unrelated work) so other work can get completed in that room. New system includes 300 litre Worcester Greenstore unvented indirect hot water...

Hi, please see attached photos (blue: cold mains to boiler and kitchen after bathroom. Red: hot from boiler to bathroom. Yellow: gas to boiler. The other pipes are the radiator pipes that do run across under the pipes at the radiator ends - again too close to them) is this okay? I’m concerned...

Hi everyone, I have recently entered a new property. The property is served hot water by a gas combi boiler at a fixed temperature of 55oC. The bathroom of the property has a shower mixer with a tap, similar to the one shown on the attached image. From the beginning, this setup has been...

We have a Megaflo D70. Should it be able to keep up with the use of 1 shower continuously? We seems to run out of water after a 10 minute shower at the moment. I don’t think there is another boiler in the system - should there be? ... the property has electricity only.

Hi all...I need a bit of advice on a central heating job..the job is for a relitive who gave me a call wondering if I could move an oil boiler from the utility room of his house to the corner of the garden he wanted to buy a new condensing oil boiler that can be fitted externally for this..I...

Hi. I have a Danfoss CP715Si which has been working fine for years but recently I came back from holiday and the hot water wasn’t working. I reset the controller by poking the reset button and it worked, but it flashed up 706 n02 before the clock came back on. The next day again the hot water...
