    Quooker water hammer

    It looks like a standard quooker fusion tap, I guess there may be a means of expansion built into the spout.... I don’t think so... Next complaint will be why does the tap drip 😂

    Thanks all, this was an Xmas Eve call out for a regular customer of mine who’s just had a kitchen fitted by kutchenhaus been abit of a nightmare in general. Now I’ll recommend they have the plumbing redone too! In my original post I posted a link for the quooker manual and it has been fitted...

    Quooker water hammer

    Any thoughts on the water hammer? Should there be a check valve on the hot from the combi? There seems to be some kind of interaction between the combi and the quooker. The water hammer only started since it was fitted. The combi has been fitted for about 7 years. This unit is different to...

    Air source heat pumps in the news again

    I don't want to get into a political argument but the tories have been in power for 11 years next year. Their current energy policy is woefully lacking leadership and ambition. In my opnion they are the party of self interest and corruption and I've seen little to dissuede me otherwise. That...

    Air source heat pumps in the news again

    I've started insulating where every I can and advising customers to do the same, especially when floors are up or work been carried out. I've also started oversizing radiators and pipework, another advantage to this is the gas boiler flow temperature can be turned down, increasing efficiency. I...

    Air source heat pumps in the news again

    I've also heard that the gas network will be converted to hyrdogen then gas valves changed in boilers. I must admit, I'd assumed hydrogen burns with 0 emissions, perhaps this isn't the case. I think the real answer lies with insulating our homes but perhaps this just isnt feasable in our old...

    Air source heat pumps in the news again

    I'm getting so sick of the media and tories plugging ashp's like they are the solution to all our heating needs. Latest news today, £5k grant towards the cost of replacing a gas boiler with an ashp. What a joke. Every ashp system I've worked on and installed runs the heating at 40 degrees...

    Annual inhibitor concentration testing

    Litmus paper does the same thing? I think most manufactures recommend a ph of around 8, slightly alkaline which is all inhibitor does I think? Where as central heating cleaner, flux etc makes the water acidic.

    Unusual large water tank, considerations

    Asking the manufacturer now, thinking about it a little more and the next concern would be insulating the tank. I could easily fit a ball valve, overflow and screened vent to comply with the regs The suitability of the tank seems to be down to its composition? Like I said this all came about...

    Unusual large water tank, considerations

    Hi Guys I'd like your thoughts on this. Customer has a 3 bar whole house shower pump and also an aqua lisa digital shower. Upon replacing the pump I noticed the water tank is only 50 gallons. It really should be 80-100 gallons? Its a 3 story town house with basement and two bathrooms...

    How to check heating elements in Triton T30i hand wash using a Multimeter

    You could check for continuity, if there is none then its faulty You could also check the resistance / ohms but you would need to know the resistance of the element from the manufacturers instructions

    Bathroom and En suite Basins Backing Up

    I would plunge first to remove possible blockage, then remove the trap clean it out, then refit without the incline to prevent it happening again. Probably plunge again one last time before I left :p

    Tightness testing on gas installations

    Isolate all appliances, retest. 0 Drop on pipework. If I was still getting a drop I'd be looking to my test connections and using a gas sniffer You may get slight ups and downs due to atmospheric pressure and residual heat in pipe work. Especially if its been recently soldered. If I still...
