The red-vented bulbul (Pycnonotus cafer) is a member of the bulbul family of passerines. It is a resident breeder across the Indian subcontinent, including Sri Lanka extending east to Burma and parts of Bhutan and Nepal. It has been introduced in many other parts of the world and has established itself including New Zealand, Argentina, Tonga, and Fiji. It has also established itself in parts of Samoa, Australia, USA and Cook Islands. It is included in the list of the world's 100 worst invasive alien species.
Hi, I was hoping to replace an old system boiler with a Vaillant Ecotec Exclusive 627 system boiler, thats the one with the diverter valve so no need for zone valves, controling it with a V-Smart and a VR10. I've spoken to Vaillant Tech and they said you cannot use the VR10 with a vented...
Hi, I have a hot water cylinder which feeds 3 outlets (kitchen sink, basin in bathroom & bathtap) which has never had very good pressure (probably because of the set-up) but last year got so feeble that a guy suggested fitting a pump alongside the cylinder. This can work fine but then all of a...

Hello all
Is there any reason why I couldn't convert a non vented thermal store to a vented version by removing the AAV on top of the tank and replacing it with a header tank?
Hi all
For various reasons, we haven't used the hot water system in our house for a couple of years. It's a vented system with a tank in the loft.
I want to try it out now but wonder whether there could be any potential problems from Legionella or anything else potentially nasty?
I don't...
