Hi all. This ‘valve’ is at the bottom of our domestic hot water cylinder.
Anyone have any idea what it is please? It must’ve been there for many years and seems to be leaking.
Hi all,
I have an OSO Direct 210 hit water cylinder installed in my home, with 2 switches (on/off; and boost). The boiler is for hot water only (rads are electric).
In the 5 years that I’ve lived at this property, I’ve never once turned the boiler off; however, with soaring energy prices, I’m...
I need to change my shower mixer and I have a unvented hot water cylinder. Is it sufficient to turn off the mains? Do I need to drain the cylinder?
Thanks
Hi all
I'm blanking a couple of openings in a hot water cylinder.
The Screwfix Flomasta 1" BSP plugs fit perfectly but no washer supplied or listed.
Given that the element has a washer and everything else is a compression fitting I'm concerned these should have one. The alternative is PTFE...
After some advice, i have recently had solar panels fitted and have an Eddi which uses the energy we generate to heat the cylinder using the immersion heater.
Just wondering if there are any devices that can circulate the hot water in the cylinder so the immersion heater heats all the water...
Hello, hoping someone can advise me. My boiler stopped working - no hot water or central heating. Called out a company who came and assessed the problem as being that the hot water element in the immersion tank needed replacing. (I don't know exactly what it is called as the company has still...

Hi all. Ive had to replace the pump isolator valves as they were leaking. All done and working but struggling to get air out. Rads are all good but when the boiler starts and stops there is odd sounds but mainly coming from inside the HW tank, sounds like water falling so im guessing air in...
I'm trying to remove the zone valve ion vented tank and the tank started leaking around the joint.
I was hoping to just run the tank with immersion till I can get an unvented.
Any tips to stop leaks or do you think I need to buy temporary tank.
Any help appreciated as I'm without hot water now.
Hi - I have a plumber booked in to look at this, but I would also like to understand myself what is causing the issue we have. We have a slow drip of water coming from behind the anticorrosion unit on our Ariston unvented water cylinder. The pink "nozzle" behind the Protech unit appears to be...
Hiya, we had a new pressurised hot water cylinder fitted a few weeks ago even though its double the size of our last one we are finding we aren't getting any more hot water. So once the tank is full and the immersion has turned off and i touch the tank only the top half feels warm and the bottom...
Hi All, I have a leaking drain valve off the CW inlet on a Range Cylinder. Am I right in thinking I have to empty the Cylinder below the CW inlet to change the valve? To isolate cold water to the tank to prevent refill, should I just lock off the 1 stop CW inlet or all 3 red stops?
Turn mains...
I'm planning to get an air source heat pump (ASHP) installed and I'm considering my options about the location of the water cylinder as I live in a small house and space is a premium. I was thinking about building a small insulated shed about 20 to 25 metres away from the house to put the...
Hello folks, I am hoping to get some advice, please, on whether or not to change my hot water cylinder.
I recently moved house and the heating control is an old wall thermostat and rotary dial.
I want to investigate converting it to a smart system (that I can control with an app), maybe with...
Hi there,
I recently replaced a dead central heating pump in my home, so drained down the system completely, fitted new pump and filled up. What I'm experiencing now is a periodic bubbling noise, it starts in the hot water cylinder on the 1st floor and makes its way to the boiler on the ground...
Hi,
In my 2 bedroom flat I have a Worcester Greenstar 24i boiler and a 200 litre Zip AquaFlow hot water cylinder.
The hot water cylinder has started to slowly leak from the bottom and I think it will need completely replaced - quote to replace is around £1000.
Given that this is only a 2...
I have moved into a house with a Joule Cyclone CY200L indirect cylinder in my loft. Recently it seems to continuously be making a noise, as if it's filling up or heating up, I'm not sure which.
The thermostat on the side is set to 55, when I turn it below 50 there is a click and then the noise...
Hi, I have recently purchased a cottage with an LPG combi boiler (no mains gas in the area). I intend to replace this with an electric boiler and an unvented indirect hot water cylinder.
The boiler will run four radiators and the hot water cylinder. The cottage has one bedroom.
What size (kw)...
Hi all,
At our old flat, we had a combi boiler which dealt with heating and hot water without an additional tank. There was an external timer next to the boiler, and a room thermostat (manual) in the hallway. I was able to replace the latter with a receiver and wireless (not smart) thermostat...
