pump

I'm finding that occasionally the boiler pump will be running when no radiator is calling for heat (and the boiler is outputting none). I havent really timed it, but its just for a few minutes I think. Its not directly after heat has been called, but seemingly at random. Do some boilers run it...

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...

Hello. Help or advice needed. Every time I clean patio puddles form along the fence panel. Due to neighbours garden being lower level than mine this dirty water then ends up in their patio. I do mop it up but was wondering if there some kind of cheap pump (not much money so cheaper the better)...

Yes, we know it's an old boiler, yes we know it's overdue for replacement, but other than this one leak it's actually working fine. And no, I'm not touching anything gas related, this is a simple water leak issue. One of our lasses has an Isar 30, and a while ago it started leaking which was...

Hi there, any help appreciated! We've bought a Aqualisa Visage shower to replace our old one, however, have realised it's one without a pump! Can we just buy a shower pump and attach separately, and if so, does it need to go before or after the digital unit? We have a cylinder boiler in an...

I've had a Salamander negative head pump installed in the airing cupboard, just above the HWC. The HWC has has an Essex flange with the required anti-gravity loop installed and the cold water tank is about a metre above the pump in the loft. The outputs from the pump go back up into the loft and...

Hi my really old large house used to be a real mess in terms of several old heating systems that were cobbled together and extensions to it. Not to mentions redundant pipework from Back boilers and a Rayburn/Aga style device in the kitchen. Now - I have the original gravity fed Potterton...

Hi, I have an issue with the hot water supply to our new bathroom which has stumped a couple of plumbers and a builder, short of spending a lot of money for something that might cause more problems. I'll try to explain it clearly and would be grateful for any ideas: We live in a 200 yr old...

I have a 225cm wide, 45cm high radiator on a standard vented, 8mm microbore two-pipe, fully pumped system. I am getting rid of its old twin entry radiator valve to install a trv, so I need to decide where to position it and the lockshield. Easiest option would be TBSE (top-bottom, same end) on...

Hi Can someone please offer advice on which water pump to pick? It'll be for the hotwater to the bath and a downstairs shower room, the cold is on mains and the upstairs shower is electric. We have a hot water cylinder at ground level (about 5m away from the original wall of the house) which...

I cleaned the filter on our (integrated) Beko washing machine. Some long lint/strings/gunk was on the impeller and I pulled it out with long nose pliers. When I turn the impeller it doesn't turn smoothly but it's a bit "jumpy". Is that normal? (I guess there might still be some long stuff...

1 Radiator not working, checked some forum tips and Ive ended up replacing Radiator, TRV and Lock Shield, as they were all very old, this did not help. There is an isolator on feed and on return plus a drain valve in between. So I shut the Isolator on return and opened up the drain valve and...

Hi, some years ago I had wet UFH installed in my conservatory. It was just chopped into the existing Y plan wiring and plumbing. The problem being that when UFH demands the CH/HW runs and vice versa. We have put up with it but now as we are spending more time at home it needs fixing. The best...

I’m looking to install a pump (Stuart Turner Monsoon or Salamander) to boost hot water pressure all around a 3-bed maisonette, which is very poor currently. The pump manufacturer specifies a minimum of 50 gallons cold water storage for a single bathroomed house, which would mean having to get a...

Hi, Same old problem of long draw off, I decided to put a recirculation loop in. A bit new to this and probably should have researched a bit better. I've looked for similar problems on this forum but can't see anything similar. Apologies if I've missed it. As I am refurbishing it was easy to...
