Hi there
As you can see from the video below, our pump exploded. The question I have is, this pump is added to a firebird condensing boiler and when we found this mess the boiler and pump were stil operating but the pressure in the boiler was reading 0. Should the pressure switch have kicked in...
I have some strange noises coming from the system, the majority are caused by the flow meters, the clicking noise. But there are other noises, ive managed to capture these on a video, keen to see what everyone thinks..
We have a Worcester 30CDi boiler with a joule thermalstore 2.0 (gas and solar) with a Giacomini heat exchanger supplying hot water for our wet underfloor heating and our domestic hot water. It is a system we have inherited but one that does not seem to work as intended. The underfloor heating...
HI folks, is it possible/feasible/reasonable to insatll an ufh manifold and system (for a 17m2 room) from a disused CH 15mm flow and return?
I would install a 15 to 22mm reducer into a pump then a 2 port manifold then into the floor then. back into the return of the manifold. Its an old...
I have preformed a Factory Reset and re-calibrated the Thermostat. Can anyone tell me if I now Set the Temperature Control will that cover the total 24 hour period.
I have tried to do this and then found the stat set at 5oC hotter - not a great idea in these cash-strapped times!!
bit of an odd one. UFH been working fine for about a year or two now.
today the pipes going to it before the zone valve are stone cold.
its a very basic system with Hive thermostatic valves controlling the rads upstairs and the zone valve downstairs.
Could the pipe be blocked?
Hello. I am here for some advice please.
We have a water underfloor heating system in our house and have recently had some issues with one of the zones seeming to overheat with the heat still being sent despite the thermostat not sending demand or even being on an all. These are all new...
Had a contractor come out today for in-floor heat not working. I have 2 zones each with Rehau manifolds supplied from a single pump and neither zone worked. Contractor felt the pump had failed and replaced it only to discover that the system still did not work. After much consideration...
Hi All,
I’m installing an ufh system using procrate and 16mm ufh pipe. The procrate is laid on top of insulation but I’m finding that at each bend and return the pipe is either pulling out of the procrate or the procrate is lifing up. What am I doing wrong? This is the 3rd system I’ve installed...

Hi, I am having to replace the powerhead of a Honeywell 22mm Motorised valve, model is a
Honeywell V4043H1056 (272848)
it is not that expensive retailing at approx £72 but Corgi do one for £42, is the Honeywell worth the money, the one I have has lasted less than 10 years!
Thanks
Andy
Hi Installed UFH Manifold, pump, Valve etc, connected to a Saswell scu209led-tm1 Connection Box. On the terminals marked "com" and "no" going to the Boiler. Which terminals on a Grant Vortex Boiler do these 2 connectors go too?
Thanks in advance
Bit of advice needed. Searched but couldn't find anything about Combi's and UFH with no rads.
Customer wants to have a combi, UFH but no radiators. Is it a good idea to have a single radiator on the system to provide a heat dump? Or should an auto-bypass suffice? If an auto-bypass then close...
As above. Ideally it'd be less.
This might be the wrong forum for the Q. But the system is actually working fine. the system is in the 15mm insulation boards above a tar subfloor.
Are my next steps to start getting cavity wall insulation etc etc?
- Question
Hi, we have a completely new install from scratch/building site.
When UFH zone comes on, some of the rads also come on a bit. The same also happens when the hot water comes on. They are operated separately though
Is this normal, or is something wrong (and is it a big deal?). I worry I am...
Hello my hearing pump failed over the weekend and a new Grundfos Ups3 was installed to replace Geundfos UPS 15-50. Hot water and central heating were reinstated however as soon as the UFH was turned on the downstairs radiators went cold but the UFH became warm. I have turned everything off and...
Have a large ufh job to do 250m2 with low profile boards, 12mm pipe, 150mm spacing.
Customer does not want gas in the house so wants an electric boiler. Unvented cylinder will be direct so boiler will only be running ufh.
2 manifolds to be installed
3 phase will be installed, but this means...
Hello,
I have a Vitodens 100-W B1KA Combi boiler installed in a new build. In the first 4 months of use the boiler has burned on average 500 litres/month. Not sure what I was expecting but that seems high. Any dieas of what I can do to improve it? I've eliminated any ramping by keeping the zone...
- Question
I am building an extension and planned to have UFH on its ground floor. My builder imbeded 15mm pipes under 10cm concrete which was meant to be the total thickness of the floor. Unfortunately as they knocked through to my existing house, it turned out that the new floor is 8cm lower than the old...
Hello
I've got a wet ufh heated by gas boiler. Is it possible to connect an indoor electric heat pump or heater that would fit in the utility room cupboard and be used during the day when solar panels are generating excess electricity?
I am doing some work for a client which involves moving some pipe work for the underfloor heating. They would like it moved the adjacent wall so they can install a washing machine in the cupboard. I have included a picture below of the fixtures and the walls.
Question is, can it simply be moved...
