Hi.
Currently my water supply is via a lead pipe which has an earth fixing point (boxed in so is inaccessible) just above the stop cock.
I plan to relocate where the mains water enters the house, and will be using a Philmac Universal Transition Coupling to join the existing lead pipe to new...
Hi everyone,
I have a customer who needs a new system boiler, currently has a 22kw which I've roughly calculated as enough heat output for the heating (its a 6 bed victorian terrace house), but this doesn't take the 200l unvented cylinder demand into account. Currently the system is setup on S...
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,
I'm in my new build 2 years and the shower pump has died.
I have an air to water unit downstairs is in the utility which I've been told is unvented and pressurised. The cold water feed into this cylinder is from the attic tank, not the mains as I turned off the mains stopcock to see if hot...
Hi,
Short version:
Do frost protection valves trigger when the water in the pipe gets to threshold, or when the air temp drops?
Long version:
I'd rather use frost protection + anti-freeze cycle on my mitsubishi ecodan heat pump. The warranty is apparently fine with that combination, and it...
Hi
Has anyone got any experience of these. I especially need to know how noisy they are from practical experience, not from Db figures which I don't understand. Also how reliable?
It will most likely be an 8KW model to run just the UFH only which is set at around 35 C.
They are cheap, maybe too...
I recently installed new hot and cold feeds to a new downstairs cloakroom. After refilling the system the hot taps were all dribbling, spluttering and showing signs of an air lock. I attached cold mains to a hot tap and left it running for 15 minutes, while opening up each hot tap. They all...
Hi, I've got a brand new (2nd hand) Bosch Hydropower 16H tankless hot water heater. Since it was installed I have noticed it leaks a lot. I took the cover off and it looks like the bottom part (water section?) is leaking in a couple of places. maybe a seal or diaphragm? Can it be repaired or...
Hi, I have a leak on the hot water inlet of my concealed Aqualisa Gainsborough shower.
I have stripped it back and with the hot water feed on I can see the drip appear at the bottom of the plastic screw fitting.
I want to ensure that when I re-tile it, I won't have the same problem in the...
Hello, Im looking for help in tracking down a replacement part for an Aqualisa Energy 10.5 Kw Shower. The bit that has started leaking is the top facing mains entry point- Im using the bottom entry point.
Ive attached a few pics of the part in question. It has the grey sleeve in the centre of...

Thanks

Hi guys
I have been asked to install a new electric shower at a property. The customer is saying her old one has no power. She has a combi boiler so can’t fit a power shower and the original shower only has a cold water feed.
I am looking at investing in a rothenburg flow cup.
Are they any good...

I have an unvented water cylinder. It looks like it’s leaking underneath. There is water slowly seeping out from around the base. I can’t find any leaks around pipework or connections. Please see photos.
Is it likely to be the metal outer skin that has rusted or is there some inner skin that...
Hi All,
Looking to install a pre-filter before a water softener, and would appreciate any thoughts or ideas on what to buy.
I'd like to have a 1" thread in- and out-bound, as my house inbound is in 28mm copper, and the in-bound to the water softener is 1".
I would ideally like to have a kit...
