Hello my name is glenn I'm an industrial plumber from Northern Ireland!
I mostly work on large building sites however I recently visited a friends house he is having problems with hot water pressure at his shower. It is just a basic thermostatic mixing shower I suggested either fitting a...
Many years ago I worked for a floppy disk manufacturer and was surprised to learn that for economy of manufacturing all the magnetic disks inside the case were 1.44MB. The cheaper to buy 720KB disks had their storage capacity limited by a notch in the outer case. Both disks costs the same to...
Hi everyone,
I have a Mira Enduro "Universal" 1.5 bar double ended pump. the wife turned on the shower this morning and nothing happened (she had a shower with no power).
I am tasked with troubleshooting and have read the appropriate guide.
When I tried the shower it worked fine a...
Hi I have an ageing Syntesi 35 combi boiler which this morning had a small ammount of water underneath it and absolutely no power, ie no red or green light and nothing on the temperature/code display.
The wall switch that supplies the power to the boiler is on and is working (neon light on)...
Only been at it for half an hour. Bored already. Every job on this site has to be power flushed before the boiler is changed. 10 year old flats with combi systems. The water is already like volvic!
My 15 year old Triton Aqua Sensation power shower made a screeching noise today and stopped. No water comes out at all. Does anyone have any ideas of what may be wrong, and what to check?
Many thanks?
I have a customer that wants a mixer shower replacing with a power shower, the only problem is the pipework is teed off of the basin above floor and run to the shower over the bath.
She says that she used to have a power shower there before but was just wondering whether you guys think this...
I understand that it's not advisable to power flush back boilers. What other boilers would people recommend not flushing.
I am kind of after a bit of a list what not to flush
if I bypass every boiler then I could just crack on with fx2 and neutraliser??
Hi all, I have a triton power shower. When switched on with the temp set to hot, the pump runs dry, if I reduce the temp, cold water will flow. Increase the temp and it will run dry for a minute or so, eventually hot water will flow. If the shower is used regularly it's fine, but if not used for...
Gunna open a bit of a can of worms hear, do u or do u not flush the boilers? Combi, conventional, back? Reasons as to y u don't if u don't please. I am relatively new to flushing and I am getting a lot of conflicting answers. Also I have been cracking on with fx2 and a neutraliser with good...
Hi guys, I have been asked to go and have a look at a Triton power shower in the morning.
I don't know the model, if it's tank fed etc.
What things should I be looking for or have in mind to check before I get there?
Pump needed?
Flange needed?
Blockage/restriction somewhere.
Anything...
Hi, im looking at the cost of buying my own power flushing unit, there so pricey. At a £1000 I don't want to be disappointed. What should I be looking for. Thanks in advance.
Right iv got my tight sod cap on.
I bought the fernox powerflushing machine last summer, used it a few times been succesful. Nervous on first use but after that you get used to it.
Iv been looking at the filters, £500+, how successful do you think a thin gauze with a strong magnet would be...
Hi, someone has installed nest and wanted the heating controls to be separate from the hot water (water heated up separately) I've had a little read and it seems to be a system boiler with a cylinder built in which would not make it possible.
just want clarification.
thanks

I am trying to do a power flush at a friends house. The bottom union on the pump is impossible to access, can I remove the 3 way valve and connect there after disconnecting the power to the pump? There is nowhere convenient to connect in to the pipework elsewhere. I know you can use pump head...
