I've got one of these pumps lying around which I liberated from a Keston Celsius boiler before consigning the rest to the tip. It's in excellent nick. My sister's CH pump (external to the boiler) has just give up the ghost so I thought I might fit the Grundfos and save a bit of cash - however -...
Hi,
I have recently had my Megaflo Unvented Cylinder serviced but didn’t check if the plumbing and heating engineer was G3 qualified before they carried out the work. I understand that it is a legal requirement to be G3 qualified to install an unvented system but is this also true to be able...
So this radiator is only just over one year old and have noticed it started leaking from the top, and rust started forming.
I think it's a Kudox radiator, obviously low quality. My plumber bought from Screwfix and him and I have fallen out so calling him back is not an option. Also I suppose...
Hello,
can anyone explain what causes a Honeywell Ultracom 24hxi that works as expected when the system is cold, but when the system gets up to temperature the boiler starts to constantly cycle and fire quickly every 30 seconds or so.
- When the system is cold the boiler will fire for a period...
Hi all
I'm going to fit a Drayton Wiser heating control system with smart TRVs for every room. I'm hoping some of you more knowledgeable people can give me some advice.
I'm heating two floors. The boiler is a Vaillant Ecotec Plus 938.
Downstairs, I have the following rooms:
A conservatory...
My rented accommodation currently has no boiler control whatsoever: no timer or programmable unit. I need to control the heating at the boiler by either increasing or decreasing the flow temperature and turning it down low at night. I will be soon be fitting a smart control system (such as a...
Hello all and thanks for letting me post this question in your forum.
I have just had a quote in of £5,700 to replace our old baxi bermuda back boiler with a new baxi 800 combi boiler. All pipework in the property would be changed and along with nine radiators. Decommision and remove the old...
Hi,
I had an Atag system (heat only) boiler fitted about 3 years ago. It’s model IR24 LPG.
It’s worked fine for the first year or so, but on the second winter (last winter) it had a strange problem where it would only cycle on for about 1 minute and then would go off for about 5 minutes, before...
Evening all. I've not needed to post on here for a while but it's silly season again and one of my first breakdowns has me scratching my head a bit.
EP2002 blown as was the pump which had started leaking.
Replaced both, pump now runs when heating demand is present but it doesn't warm up.
It's...
Hi All,
Hoping someone can help with what I thought was a minor problem/easy fix issue with the towel rail in my new-ish house; it is now permanently cold.
I'll explain a bit of background, the system set up and some things I've tried so far... Hopefully I'm missing something blindly obvious...

Hi,
Recently I noticed that we were running out of HW more than expected, perhaps it’s people are taking more baths but I wanted to check out if the pair of Vaillant uniSTOR’s were both heating, thinking that maybe I had a problem with one of the Zone Valves were not heating one of the tanks...
We moved into our current home in June. The heating is supplied by a 10 year old WB Greenstar CDi 37kkW combi boiler. I had the boiler checked by a local GSR engineer who has serviced my son's boiler for many years. He said it was working correctly.
So far it has worked OK, getting the house up...

Hi all,
I just joined the forum as I couldn't find help just being a lurker. :)
I just bought my first house (yay me) and it's a new one. The installation has been done my a bunch of different people and the plumber himself couldn't explain fully what he's done (yes, you read it right). I...
Hi everyone, I’m a bit paranoid about asbestos, and I’m living in this apartment - looks to be around mid80s - with a texture on most of the walls (although not ceilings) and the built-in cupboards and shelves. It’s mostly in good condition, but there are a few damaged bits. Do you reckon it’s a...
potterto boiler 23 years old, Drayton mid point actuator.
Central Heating only works when water also on & stat works normally. When CH only, the stat shows a bright light when calling heat and dim light when at temperature.
I changed the stat and it made no difference.
The three way valve seems...
Hi everyone,
I wanted to get everyone's opinions on underfloor heating. I am looking to install a water based underfloor heating system in the kitchen. The walking area of the kitchen where the heating will be around 5 square metres as confirmed by my builder.
I'm also looking to install an...
I have made some adaptations to the layout of an existing open vented one pipe system. The pump is now some 6 or 7 metres away from the boiler. The cold feed is on the negative side of the pump as is the expansion pipe. The order of fixing is expansion pipe - cold feed - pump. When the pump...
When a pump is switched off does circulating water stop immediately? In other words, is there a bypass within in the pump to allow the water to slow down to a stop?
Thanks for any advice
