My son moved to a new build home in Cornwall last November. Yesterday evening he found a quantity of water beneath the Ideal Combi boiler and a steady water drip from the boiler. After clearing up and putting a container beneath the boiler, he went to bed. This morning the water drip had...
When I turn on our CH there's a lot of noise from one specific part of the system - the pipes on the landing, and one radiator. It sounds like air, and the landing radiator needs bleeding regularly (about once a month), even though it isn't the highest point in the system. The two upright rads...
If you are qualified to do a Gas Safety check on a property I assume that entails checking the boiler.
If, when checking a Combi, you notice the flexi filling loop in place (Taps closed) would you remove it or leave it be?
Also if you notice one valve open and the other closed, once again, would...

Hi, I was hoping to replace an old system boiler with a Vaillant Ecotec Exclusive 627 system boiler, thats the one with the diverter valve so no need for zone valves, controling it with a V-Smart and a VR10. I've spoken to Vaillant Tech and they said you cannot use the VR10 with a vented...
Hi,
We moved into a new property yesterday and are a little baffled by the heating/water tank situation. The previous owners unhelpfully left any kind of instructions/manual and therefore trying to figure out ourselves.
We have what looks like a boiler/water tank system (coming from a standard...
Hi all - can someone explain what the two black levers are in this picture? Are they for putting more pressure in the heating system? I have a Megaflow Eco Systemfit Unvented Cylinder.
Hi,
I have a Vailant EcoTec Boiler with a Megaflo. These are controlled by a Honeywell controller. I have one 3 port diverter, where one of the outputs goes to a 2 port diverter prior to the Megaflo (I believe this is some safety feature).
I have run into an intermittent problem where some...
Oil boiler (now~15 years old) unvented system with 17 radiators. We moved in 5 years ago and I had to keep bleeding the same radiator. The bleed gas could be burned with a blue flame and the water was acidic (pH 5.5).
Since then system has been chemically flushed (it was not too bad) and the...

Have a sytem boiler with unvented cylinder with 2 heating zones plus hot water in a house we moved into recently.
To start with we were always amazed at the water pressure so on the odd occasion that the water was only luke warm it was easily forgiven, but over time we have come to realise that...

Milky hot water. Recently had a Viessmann 100-W combi boiler installed. Now when the hot water reaches any tap it is very 'milky'. This appears to be micro bubbles and clears, upwards, in a few seconds leaving no residue. Though this is a hard water area in 45 years have never had this cloudy...
Hi, I have a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 30Si combi boiler, the analog clock has stopped and the On-Timer-Off switch only works on Timer setting,.
So I have set all the little timer switches to ON and the boiler does work then.
Any help or source for a new clock would be great.
TIA
Flue Snugs
Hello all new member here.
Flue snugs. I’m seeing a lot of boiler installs on you tube that don’t have flue snugs to comply with Part L building regs.
What are the rules regarding flue snugs, do they have to be fitted on all new boiler installs.
I prefer to use sand/cement...

Anyone shed any light on ideal boilers catching fire , something about air pockets in the heat ex ? ,in a fault condition , thanks ray .
I was sent an engineer by Ideal Heating to fix a problem with my system. When he left he drove over a pot of sealing compound (which must have dropped out of his van) on my shared drive. My neighbour pointed it out to me since he was parked in her space. I tried to remove it with water and...
Hi all
I have a Vaillant eco boiler at a new house I moved into last week.
It’s a combo boiler and the last boiler I had was old (and much easier to use!)
This one keeps turning itself off. The hot water seems to work and is always warm. The heating also works but for random amounts of time...
Hi All,
I hope you are doing well.
I have old un-pressurised heating system and I need to top up the water but I cannot locate the bloody valve.
Where is it? Is it in the attic?
I also have this valve with black screw on top. Should this be opened or closed?
Thank you
