    Corrosion since drain down?

    Just over a year ago I had a leak on one of the valves on my Boilermate 2000, so it was drained down and a new valve fitted. On drain down, the water looked quite clean. British Gas did the job and refilled the tank, but with no inhibitor, as apparantly that 'isn't part of the job'. Also I...

    Fluidmaster pressure regulator required?

    Got a Fluidmaster Pro45B to be fitted. At what water pressure would it be advisable to fit the flow regulator? The instructions mention to use it if water hammer or noise is an issue, but don't indicate any figures. My pressure is about 3 bar. Would the (internal) overflow cope with the full...

    Restricting feed to header tank

    Due to British Gas not adding inhibitor after draining my Boilermate 2000 (it's not their policy!) I partially drained again and added 2 litres of X100. It mentions in the installation instructions "Once the system is finally filled, turn down the servicing valve for the ballvalve in the F & E...

    Inhibitor for softened water

    Had my boilermate 2000 drained and refilled to repair a leak. We have a water softener and the system was refilled with softened water. British Gas did the job and said they don't provide inhibitors but will add it if the customer supplies it. I didn't have any so will need to do a partial...

    Changing heating pump valve on boilermate

    Boilermate 2000 - I need to replace the right hand pump's isolating valve as it's leaking. I've no problem with physically fitting it but do I need to drain it right down first? I changed a sensor above the pump a while ago and just turned off the mains. Also should I replace it with the...

    Pipe inserts required?

    Had a kitchen drinking tap which was connected after the water softener. Decided to connect it unfiltered straight to the mains supply. Noticed none of the 3/8 push fit pipe had inserts... It does seem pretty hard walled but is this correct? Thanks in advance.

    Thermostat integration time

    Recently fitted a Danfoss TP5000 programmable thermostat. Working OK but sometimes cuts in for a few seconds then off again when the temperature has been reached. I notice there's a setting for integration time for the PI algorithm to control accuracy - it can be set to 2.5%, 5% or 10%. It's...

    Water softener overflow drip

    Recently moved into a house with a Minimax water softener fitted which takes 2 4kg blocks of salt. Can't find model number. There are 2 overflow pipes going into the drain, 1 copper and 1 plastic. Just noticed the copper pipe seems to constantly drip slowly and wondered if this is normal? It's...

    Washing machine no hot supply

    Got an old washing machine that has a hot and cold inlet on the back. The house we're moving to has only got a cold supply. Can I just connect the cold up and blank the hot on the machine or do both inlets need a water supply?

    Solder fitting with water present?

    Was adding another radiator to existing pipework under the floorboards. After draining down, tried fitting a solder tee onto the existing pipework - it all seemed bone dry but leaked afterwards as some water must have been present in the pipe. Ended up using a compression fitting as it was...

    32mm overflow on cold water tank?

    We're selling our house, and the surveyor advised that the current 21.5mm overflow from the loft cold water and central heating expansion tank is too small, and needs to be 32mm! This seems huge to me, and will present a problem when exiting under the eaves. I'm going to change it to keep our...
