    Push flush toilet keeps filling

    Hi, I have a push flush toilet with a WDI float valve. The last couple of days it keeps on filling into the over flow, and only cuts off after about 5 minutes. Tonight it seems to not be stopping, and I can't work out how to adjust it so it cuts off lower than the overflow. Is this something...

    Filling Loop Leaking/Not Working

    Noticed my boiler pressure was low (zero) yesterday. New house and it was ok when moved in, so presume there's a leak somewhere... Anyway I've previously had no trouble on other boilers just turning the black taps to fill the system via the filling loop. However, yesterday when I tried this...

    Drip from Filling Loop

    Hi folks, Just bought a new house and for the first time, have my very own boiler! However......the filling loop has a drip coming from the "in" pipe by the looks of things. From what I have read so far, it seems to be a relatively easy fix, and with my boiler service not for another 6 weeks...

    Accessible filling loop valves

    My daughter has a combi boiler (Procombi 85HE) that slowly loses pressure over time. Unfortunately access to the filling loop valves is behind wooden 'boxing' which necessitates the front being unscrewed to access it. Easy for me but then I'm 50 miles away. Is there a way to have access to the...

    Please help - boiler filling loop problems

    I have an Alpha CB24 combi boiler and it's just given me the red/orange alternate flashing lights. So I've googled the problem and what I need to do is re-pressurise the system; apparently it's an easy fix. But on my boiler, there's only one black switch and I can't make it turn. It moves...

    Hey All, Was wondering if anyone could offer some assistance, I've just moved into a new flat and now that the winters are cold enough to warrant turning the heating on I've just figured out that the radiator in the main room is not filling all the way! It doesn't get very hot at all. I've...

    Filling loop

    Hi, anyone familiar with the Ideal Logic boilers? I've had one fitted and on the filling loop the manual shows a largish, round plastic cap and has "cap" pointing to it (see below). On mine however it's a tightened metal screw. This is for an air vent? Have they changed the design since the...

    Leaking Filling loop on Combi Boiler

    Hi All, First of all thanks to everyone who helped with my previous questions. Boiler: Ideal Mini c28 In short! My boiler pressure keeps rising. So after much investigation I think it may be that the filling loop may have a leak in it so even when shut off it keeps filling the system very...

    Filling Station

    Took me a while to figure out this was actually the filling loop to the system today - constantly open inlet with a 1.5 bar pressure reducing valve and expansion vessel - never seen it done like this before :/

    Could this be my external filling loop?

    Hi, I'd be very grateful for any help in trying to identify the external filling loop for my Worcester boiler. I'm waiting for the plumber but he's been delayed. I should say right now that I know virtually nothing about boilers. The pilot light on my boiler is lit but the main light won't...

    High pressure in heating system and constantly filling

    Hello, Around 3-4 weeks ago I noticed the TPV overflow pipe at the back of the house was dripping and the system pressure had increased to 3 bar. I bled the radiators (no trapped air) and then ran off some water from a downstairs radiator. Initially this did the trick and the pressure dropped...
