Hi. Just got a new Worcester Bosch 28cdi. The central heating temperature control will only turn clockwise from the "e" point which is 62 degrees to the maximum which is 85 degrees. It will not turn anti-clockwise from the "e" point to decrease the temperature. The manual says the "e" point...
Hi there, I was wondering if you set a boiler flow temperature at lets say 50 degrees and your unvented indirect cylinder is at 55 degrees - is it the case your cylinder will never reach up to temperature, or will it reach the temperature but just take longer? I have an older boiler where I can...
Hi folks my partner has a Greenstar 30Si boiler, the pressure is just below 3 bar but for the past year or so water has been slowly dripping out of the overflow pipe. I've bled the radiator upstairs and downstairs drained about 2l out but the pressure doesn't drop at all. Any ideas? Thanks.
I currently have a 20 year old 24kW thermocompact system boiler which is costing a fortune to run.
I have 13 radiators, hive TRVs and a total heat loss of 7kW, my unvented cylinder takes 17.2kW to recharge.
The boiler I’m looking at is an Ideal Vouge Max, would the advice be to err on caution...
I’ve had a local church ask me to lower the cistern as it has no cold feed and no water on site to get it there. The boiler is a Powrmatic Sime and the old church warden is having to climb a 3m ladder with a watering can once a month. I went round and worked back from the tallest rad with a...
The Waste is slightly higher than the trap, I've been advised to use the flexi fitting but it leaks and doesn't look strong enough especially as water remains in the pipe. I would call a plumber, but I know its a simple solution.. for someone! I'm a total newbie so advice would be great!

Hi all,
Firstly thanks for letting me join ...
I have loads of radiators with grill and side covers - 20 years old mostly. The plastic bit at the base of the side plates are now very brittle and always break when touched. - see picture. I'd like to get a load to replace the ones that are...
We’ve just bought a new house (new build). The main bathroom shower above the bath is extremely powerful however the rainfall AND handheld shower in the en suite are significantly lower.
They’re both mains fed showers from a new 35kw combi.
I can’t work out why one shower would be so poor when...
Hi, just had new mains pressurised heating system and boiler put in and new bathrooms. Old loft tanks gone. New floor piping in bathrooms, but older piping left in kitchen.
The water coming from the rainshower heads is weaker than the handsets attached to the wall, which are at really good...
Hi my bulders have just fit a soil pipe connector to a new loft extension but the soil pipe needs to be lower as it's currently at balcony hight and can be seen wanted to lower in line with the gutter if I can find the right connections hopefully I can lower without too much work ant help would...
We've just had a new toilet installed and the new toilet's waste pipe is lower than the cast iron soil pipe. My installer has used a flexi pipe to connect the toilet waste upwards to the soil pipe. Am I right to be concerned about the upwards connection, and the use of a flexi pipe? The cast...
Hey guys,
Really bugging me, my 32kw combi used to use about 25kw for the heating side and it would get up to temp so fast! I lowered it to 13kw on the boiler front controls, bit i cant remeber how i did it!!
So I've told a college of mine (we're all gas engineers) that i can do it and will...
Hi all,
Just fitted a new bath (height fixed due to bath panel). Plughole mechanism now means the bath waste connection is an inch lower than the original and hence there is no fall on the wastepipe. Soil pipe connection cannot be lowered to compensate.
How can I raise the P-trap outlet higher...
Hi
I have a megaflo system, but the pressure in the cold tap is quite a lot lower than the hot tap. I understand that the hot from the megaflo derives its pressure from the mains pressure, which also feeds the cold. So the fact that the pressure at the taps is lower on the cold than the hot...
Looking to set up my boiler for maximum efficiency
System from boiler perspective is very simple .. Baxi Barcelona connected to a Thermal Store (EnergyMaster) - whole contents of store pump circulated around boiler ... no rads.

Got a basement shower room to do.
Its ta going to need a macerator. The customer wants a low level tray, and to do this they have left out a channel 6 inch below the back of the toilet. The macerator will go in that and the shower waste can run to it.
Can this be done, so that the macerator...
Hi all.
I have set this unit up on my house and it does start the heating. The issue is it does not stop.
I have gone into Installer Advanced Programing Options and made the following changes;
Option 30 - Set upper limit temperature range = 20C
Option 31 - Set lower limit temperature range =...
I have recently moved into a property and three of the existing radiator dials didn't work - they were not moveable and on constantly so I couldn't turn them off. I had a plumber come and drain the system to replace the three and now if I have the new dials on between 1-3 there is no heat only...
