Hi all
I have had a very high water bill. When I turn the external stopcock off, the flow indicator stops spinning, so I assumed it was a house leak issue. However, I have noticed that the external stopcock is leaking. When the stopcock is turned off, the water to the house is turned off ...
Hi,
I'm looking for a water pump to pump water from a storage tank at a constant 3 bar pressure.
It's at a campsite I run that's at the bottom of a long, steep hill. We struggle with very high and often fluctuating (around 7 bar) water pressure, which wreaks havoc with our water heaters.
I've...
Hi they used to say as a last resort you could discharge the D2 pipework at high level and turn it back to the wall. Similar to a combi boiler. I have just looked back through the regs this seems to have changed and it isn't mentioned now. It now mentions if at high level it should be discharged...
Hi everyone,
Is it possible for chlorine content in mains water to be increase when everyone has been connected to the mains supply after being disconnected from water tanks.
I feel that the water quality smells more of bleach and the cold water is a a lot drier on skin ever since the other...
Hello. I am a homeowner and have a Valliant EcoTech 835 (2017). Serviced every year and worked like a treat until about a few months ago when I notified the pressure reading was too high (> 3 bar). My plumber came and did a regular service and told me the boiler is in tip top condition. The...

Hi to all,
I have bought a new radiator as replacement for old one.
After installation by plumber, the new radiator is heating up only to 1/3 of high. The rest remain cold.
Also, radiator is making quite loud noise when heating up.
The system/radiator is free of air.
My plumber was...
im a DIYer remodeling my master bath. long story short, after tiling my toilet flange is too high. im aware of all of the options to repair, but we could use a new toilet anyway..so my question is, is there a toilet made that will fit a high flange? or do I need to just suck it up and repair it?
Two connected houses in our 70s condo development, everyone served by one water meter at the road. 833 has 40 lbs of pressure while attached house 835 has over 100 lbs. -- no problems in either house or immediately outside -- and no pressure relief valves or shutoffs. Plumber traced the...
Hi everyone,
I moved into a new build three bedroom, two bathroom bungalow about 2.5 years ago. Ever since we moved in there has been an issue with the water pressure.
Toward the end of last year the pressure had got worse. For instance, you could not run another tap in the house if a...

The shower (a cold feed electric unit) and the Kingspan tank are on the top floor of a 3 storey building. The Ideal Boiler Logic Heat 15 boiler is on the ground floor. The house is 9 years old in May. Both the boiler and Kingspan tank have been serviced in the last month. The shower...
Hi there, thanks for your time to look at this record long post!! I work on the operational management side or a small building contracting firm. This question is for my own house setup.
We are really fortunate to have a large house, about 5,000sqft in total over 3 floors. It was built around...

Hi,
Am trying to understand my mother's Apollo boiler. It has an intermittent fault.
In the last couple of years, it has had a new thermocouple, a new "low" stat, and a new pump over-run switch. The RGI was not throwing parts at it, and the replacement of these has solved some problems: I...
As per the title. We have a property where the boiler has worked fine in the 10 months since it’s last service.
Now throws up this error code randomly, and doesn’t reset. Our man has checked all the usual culprits. Condensate is fine, not backing up.
He can put the boiler in High Rate mode and...
Hi just been to check a family members boiler and I’m getting just over 25mbar working pressure at the meter and 22mbar inlet pressure at the boiler. Standing pressure is 29mbar and done a tightness test and that is all fine. Also did a gas rate and it’s only only showing as 22kw and the boiler...
Hi folks my partner has a Greenstar 30Si boiler, the pressure is just below 3 bar but for the past year or so water has been slowly dripping out of the overflow pipe. I've bled the radiator upstairs and downstairs drained about 2l out but the pressure doesn't drop at all. Any ideas? Thanks.
Hi looking for some advice please.
We have a Viessmann VT100-W (WB1C 30kW) boiler. It's about 8 years old. I am now topping up the pressure about twice a week.
I check the pressure first thing in the morning when the system (and me) is cold. Pressure is around 0.7. I top it up using the...
