what has been done / what was the problem you called the plumber out for ?
 
Why is the pump after the valve ? I might be seeing wrong, I'm not allowed to see the pics !
( it says that sometimes on the website)

Get a pro in, good experienced heating engineer to look over it !
 
there's no problem. This was a new install. Just want to make sure they have installed the valve correctly

think the flows wrong as the filter is in the wrong place atm

i would say without looking at the rest of the install the pump is pumping the wrong way, which way does the arrow point on the pump up or down?
 
Because the flow was originally the other way from pump to valve. Then I discovered they were pumping it up to the cold water tank feed!! So they came back and just turned the pump round so it would pump against the feed.

sounds like you need a second opinion tbh maybe get a local heating eng to just check it over for you
 
The flow was originally the other way round so I imagine it was plumbed correctly. However, they original plumbed it so the pump was pumping in to the cold tank overflow in the loft thus pumping hot water into the tank!

To overcome this they reversed the pump (ie turned it round)Wh

What I am not sure about is if the valve is correct now?

Still think you need heating engineer. It sounds wrong to me and if they've done that wrong, what else is wrong. Can be very dangerous ( not being scary on purpose), if boiler not piped correct.

Please get it checked
 
if it is right, no everything but the pump is the wrong way round now and it could be sucking air into the system
 
Ok, thanks Guys. I'll get a heating engineer out to have a look!
 
Who designed the system?

Who commissioned the system,?
Whoever commissioned it should have been able to work out the pump was going to be wrong.

Did the Plumber not look over the full system before the pump was changed around or did he just change it on your word that it was pumping over?
If not why did he not, ?

Maybe the pump was correct but the Cold feed is in the wrong position.

As others I'd get a second on site opinion, which you'll have to pay for of course.

Where are you located, maybe someone on here can look?
 
That's what I meant by sixth sense. Too many questions in my head.

Is this a DIY install ?

Our kitchen mixer tap has started dripping. Like so much of the plumbing in our almost new build bungalow, it is lacking! The plumber didn't install any isolating cocks in the H&C feed to the tap so how can I identify which of the valves is passing? Shut the whole H&C water system down?
