    Shower running lukewarm on hottest setting

    I have a problem with my shower - it started dropping in temperature to where even on the hottest setting it now runs lukewarm at best.

    Loud whistling when running the shower

    Hi, Our heating system has started whistling very loudly when the shower is being used. If I run a cold tap, the whistle stops immediately. If I run a hot tap, the pitch of the whistle changes. The noise is not coming from the boiler (Ideal Icos) which is in the kitchen, it is coming from...

    How to stop saniflo toilet water running into toilet bowl?

    Hi there, can anyone give me any advice? We have a Saniflo system in our understairs loo. The saniflo itself is working fine, but there is a constant trickle of water going into the loo bowl, hence the saniflo comes on every ten mins or so to pump the extra water away. I have no knowledge of...

    Hot water running from CH header tank overflow

    Hot water is trickling from the header tank overflow pipe only when the CH is running. It is a dual system (CH or hot water with motorised valves) and no drip occurs when only heating the hot water. No drips either when boiler is off so the ball valve is OK. Now my small 2 up 2 down house only...

    Slow running fan effect combustion?

    Hi all. Before I begin, im talking about older ‘on/off’ fans on atmospheric burners. I am not talking about the newer variable speed fans with zero rated governors on condensing boilers. All I’m wondering is, can an on/off fan run slowly when supplied with 240vac? Would this cause higher...

    Heatline Vizo 24 Boiler - Flames Cut Out (Pump continues running)

    Over the last few days we are having problems with the boiler cutting out after a few minutes. Hot water seems to be fine (although it may be taking a bit longer than normal to heat up), and the flames are all lit. They remain lit whilst the hot water is running (which is correct). The...

    Cistern overflows to pan when the shower is running.

    The toilet cistern overflows into the pan when the shower on the floor below is running. Why would this be? They say the shower seems low on pressure recently. Again why would this be and what is the connection between the problems if there is one?

    Running a cold feed for sink behind the back of a freestanding oven in a domestic kitchen?

    Is this ok, as long as run in 15mm copper, an inch away from the rear of the oven? OR are there some regs that say no? Not much choice with current layout of kitchen.
