    Toilet not filling up enough

    Hi everybody, nice to be here. The toilet is maybe flushing 1 in every 10 attempts and it looks like it's the amount of water in the tank. If I pushdown on the float to fill the tank up further, it usually flushes OK. I understand there is a screw that regulates the amount of refill water but I...

    Where is my filling loop?

    I need to pressurise my Vaillant ecoTEC plus 618 Boiler, but can't find the filling loop! It's not under the boiler itself... (IMG_1696.jpg) And I'm uncertain about the pipes around the water tank upstairs (see pictures attached) -- can you see anything there? Where do you think it could be?
