Hi all,
Earlier today I was trying to get a few floorboards up to get access and one of the 15mm pipes came out of its brass tee connector with the ensuing wet face and mad panic that a bar of water can give you. I popped a bucket under the fountain (it was pointing ceiling way) and ran down...
This is what it looks like. It has been inspected and it is still servicable just needs cleaning up and painting.
Yes, I know it's ancient and could do with replacing but so is the owner and funds are limited.
Has anyone in PF land got any idea of how the gauge works? Is it a float mechanism...
The house has a gravity heating system. I replaced an old failing pump Grundfos UPS 15-50 (130) with Grundfos UPS3 15-50/65 130
I have drained the system and bleed the radiators for air.
The problem is that since replacement of pump boiler Glow warm (about 15 years old) comes on for about 5...

Hi there just to ask on wiring for a salus 2 channel programmer.
We only have the boiler coming off this at present. We don't want to seperate the rads and water as yet as this wiring is upstairs!
So we are using two channel programmer to basically operate the boiler.
We have LNE coming off a...
Hi
This is my second question and follows on from discoveries made while investigating dropping flow rates where you guys contributed a lot.
I have made an access point to the crawl space and had a look around. Let me say at this time we are a living in a cottage so all is on one level.
A...
Hi All,
Just a quick question, would it be possible for me to shut the gate valve to the flow pipe to the central heating and open the return at any radiator without it causing a mess?
From what i know, the flow goes in to the radiator and after coes out as the return, so technically if the...
A couple of years ago I had a new central heating system installed as part of a full modernisation. Unfortunately I’ve been having problems with other aspects of the renovation so for a while I’ve been running it without a control system or TRV’s (I have a Honeywell EvoHome set ready to go but...

Changed from a gravity feed boiler system to a combi boiler and had problems with noisy pipes? About 4 weeks ago now had a new combi boiler installed, and from day 1 had noises from the heating pipes even though not on. Thought I was just up grading to a more modern space saving cost efficient...
My central heating won't turn off via the wireless thermostat. I can see that it communicates correctly so suspected a problem with the zone valve. It is a Honeywell 2 port and I notice the manual level is completely loose and I can't lock it in the manual 'on' mode. We have other zones and...
I’ve tried unscrewing this thinking I can use ptfe tape and re-screw it, but it’s not budging. I don’t want to force it if I’m wrong and it doesn’t have a thread. Does anyone know please?
Our central heating system "bangs" sometimes when the Hot Water comes on. A single bang.
The engineer came and replaced the mid valve actuator. This had no effect. The engineer came back and replaced the mid valve. This seems to have had no effect.
We have a recording taken on my iphone when...
As per the title. What do you think of using Speedfit in part of the cental heating system?
In particular a 15mm x 300mm flexi pipe. Bent at 90 degrees. See link.
Not sure what I am dealing with yet but I suspect a leaky Yorkshire elbow below the floorboards.
Rather than remove it, clean it...
Hello, I am a new home owner and I need some help please. I have a filter attached to my boiler (Baxi Combi). The filter does not have a label. I need to identify what the filter is. Apparently these filters come with a sort of circular key to tighten the top.
I did not get a key with the House...
Hi, I’ve just taken off the side of the bath with the aim of fitting an overhead shower to the bath, and have found an electrical unit under the bath, which appears to be for the central heating system. It’s fixed to the floor, so it’s not raised, and the fact that a small ingress of water has...
I have split-level heating in a 3 storey townhouse. The control unit on the ground floor is wired and controls the heating on the ground floor and half of the first floor, and the hot water. The unit on the first floor is battery powered and controls the heating for the rest of that floor and...
