As usual, a problem arises nearly last thing on a Friday!! Was wiring a kitchen for someone this week & the customer noticed this afternoon before I finished there was no hot water. Central heating is working fine. The back of the programmer shows it as fully pumped on the selector. Getting no...
Good afternoon,
Hope you are well. Firstly I would like to Appologise for my incorrect naming of components, I really don't know alot about this kind of thing. I have an issue regarding my water boiler, for the past few days I have had no hot water. It is powered by a control box and a timer...
Hello, I am looking at getting a solar PV installation (8 x 350W plus 4.6 kWh battery) and wondered how I might best take advantage of it when re-designing the central heating system, with the aim of reducing natural gas usage without spending more money on electricity from the grid.
This is...
Hi all,
Hopefully picked the right place to post about this..!
I've just completed an EICR and there was a second board mounted to the water cylinder which does both the hot water and heating.
It's in an apartment (I'm assuming every flat will be the same).
I've told the landlord that I need...
Hi guys, sorry if this has been asked before.
I’m currently in a flat where the tenant queried the water bonding. There’s a 6mm green and yellow leaving the DB and goes to the gas meter as it’s clipped direct I can see it isn’t continuos and go to the water. There is also no other bonding...

Evening all,
I'd guess that this is a common question but haven't been able to find anything on the forums regarding the 18th.
Working in a shop and the water comes into the building in plastic, there is then 3 foot or so of copper pipe followed by plastic throughout the rest of the...
I have moved in 3 days to a flat which seems to have a lot of problems. I have not had hot water yet and the agent tells me I will pay for a call-out if it will be something simple and I could have found it on the internet.. So I am paranoid. The red light is on. I usually would have a shower...
Hello board members
I require your experience and advice regarding a used Bosch Compact Dishwasher model SKS51E18EU bought recently.
The previous owner of 5 years mentioned an issue that it doesn’t drain at the end of the program, so restarting a new program clears this issue.
After good...

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some help.
I’ve just moved into a new flat that uses an economy 7 tariff. It’s all electric. I’ve never used something like this before and am very confused as to how it works and what I should do.
I have 2 switches next to my water heater one that says on peak and...
Recently been getting some very small static when touching taps.
Recently had a stop tap changed and a plastic push fit was used on the mains water suply. Pictures below.
Should the earth wire be attached below the plastic push fit? The earth was already there before but the push fit wasn't...
A friend has just called as his daughter in Belfast (many, many, many miles from me!) has just lost all power after water fell into the cooker/hob.
I straight away thought it has to be a main RCD somewhere, but I cannot see one in the pictures they have sent and they don't 'think' there is one...
I've come across a house whereby the redundant immersion heater circuit (15A) has had it's CPC repurposed as a means of bonding the incoming water supply in the same cupboard. Irrespective of the CPC being undersized is this, in theory, allowed or must the earth bonding be clearly identifiable...

I recently did a load of work making good a poor installation for a friend who just bought a flat. I have some electrical qualifications and 30 years experience, but I'm not a member of a CPS because I don't do enough notifiable work for it to be worth paying the subs.
When it came to bonding...
Just wondered what opinion people have of bonding of short lengths of copper water pipes, this is in the communal area of flats .
above the copper it goes back into plastic and appear to enter the building in a blue plastic pipe
