hot water

Go on then slate them lol, I am aware of the kw price difference. So I live in a bungalow well of the grid, gas mains never gonna be an option unfortunately. Bought the house three years ago. Installed a biomass system, burn logs get hot water and it heats the rads. So we are building an...

Can anyone recommend a really straight-forward simple programmer for my elderly parents who need a replacement. It's probably going to need to be analogue unless there is something special designed for old folks. Many thanks

If you set the hot water temperature to zero on the front panel control the hot water system never comes on. If you turn the control to the very minimum setting that will make the hot water circuit active, the burner lights and the hot water output temperature quickly rises to 65C (maximum). It...

Hiya, My HW (hot water) not working after I drained my CH (Central Heating). I released all the air pressure in all radiators. When I set the control to just HW, I can see the fire start for a couple of minutes and then it went off. Any idea why? Should I bleed the myson unit five pump? Is...

Hey everyone, We had a new combi boiler (Ideal Logic Combi 35) installed with a magnetic filter (Ferrox TF1) about 5 years ago. At the time the system was apparently powerflushed by the installer (it was definitely drained, as i guess it needs to be, but the plumber was not very...

Hi The overflow pipe is dripping. I have been researching how to stop it but am now confused as to where the pipe comes from. In my naivety I thought overflows just came from heating systems. I have now read it could be from the toilet. How do I find out which it is coming from?

I have a Grant Vortex 26, and it is losing pressure. It can be at 1 bar in the evening, and be down to 0.3 bar in the morning. When the heating is on, it holds pressure, but as soon as you turn on hot water somewhere in the house the pressure drops. I thought the two systems were separate, but...

Hi All, I have a Grant Vortex Pro Combi 26 which is generally performing well but has a strange problem with a gurgling/fizzing/knocking noise when the Direct Hot Water pump is circulating. The central heating side is all nice and quiet. At first I thought the hot water was being over-heated...

Hi - I have a situation where the hot water pressure in the shower reduces significantly when I turn on a hot basin tap, but not when I turn on a cold basin tap. This is strange because there is a 28mm pipe from mains (~3bar) up to the attic where unvented is. It splits in 2 22mm pipes right...

Hello, I have read many threads relating to similar issues to mine and have checked / tried a lot of the tips, however still am having issues with the switching of the Hot Water Pump. Any help / suggestions would be very much appreciated. Overview of work carried out on system since acquiring...

I used to hear years ago that the UK and Ireland used to have 'seperate' hot and cold taps at the sink for a valid good reason , that it was by law (water laws) so that the water mains (cold) was seperate from the (hot water system) coming from the storage tank up in the loft. citing that the...

Hello everyone! I apologize if a thread like this already exists and I have missed it due to wrong wording etc. I have searched whole web and found bits and pieces but no concrete answer or other examples like mine. The background: It is an off grid tiny house where I want to install a wind...

Hi this question seems to come round and round but each with slightly different circumstances. So I have a ideal c28 mini. It has normally one light on fast blinking. That is on one second off one second back on again. The heating is fine. However the hot water when requested every now and...

Hi all hoping you guys can help and apologies if I ask any obvious questions or what's been asked before. I have an ideal conventional boiler with a Honeywell Analog stat, a hot water tank upstairs with a UP2 British gas programmer by the tank. Bought a Hive 2 and the electrician has replaced...

Settle down for a long story...... A few months ago we started getting the hot, cold, hot , cold issue with our water. we had a bit of a nightmare trying to get a plumber to have a look which is a story for another time. He recommended changing the Thermistor, so he got the part and did the...

Hello everyone, (it's my first post but I was reading posts here for a while now) The situation: My wife and I just bough a 3 bedroom semi-detached house. The house has an old back boiler in the living room behind the fire place, cold water tank in the loft and a hot water cylinder in the...

Hi, I have a Valiant 824e boiler which has recently started with a problem with the hot water. After turning on the tap (or shower in my case) the hot water comes through fine, but after a minute or so the boiler flame goes out and the water drops cold. If I keep the tap running, the boiler...

Sorry for such a basic question. The cupboard with the hot water tank and the cupboard with the non-combi boiler are a mess of copper piping and I am trying to make sense of it. I want to replace a washer in a downstairs hot tap. There is a pipe that goes to the loft. This pipe has a valve in...
