    Frost thermostat problems

    Sorry, this is a slightly unconventional question... I have two wall-mounted Calorex dehumidifiers in my garage/workshop. These have fan heaters (2kw, I believe) built-in to them. The idea is to stop the dehumidifiers from freezing up. They were supplied with very cheap 2-wire thermostats...

    Vaillant boiler pump leaking

    I have a Vaillant Thermocompact boiler which is getting on for 20 years old, and yesterday the pump started leaking with a steady drip from the bottom of the housing. I have been advised that we can't fit a replacement boiler in this position in the house because of the flue exit on to next...

    Problem with rising main tap connections

    Our old mains water tap seized, so we had it replaced a couple of days ago. The original was brass, connected directly to the blue supply pipe, with a smaller outlet going to a pressure control valve with a pressure gauge. The replacement is as shown in the photo. About 40 minutes after it was...

    Dudley flush problem

    I have a Dudley concealed cistern fitted with an Electroflo flush using battery power. The first 'blue' (long) flush of the day, when it's been inactive during the night, often doesn't work properly - the blue light comes on, the motor runs - then there's a 'thump' and everything stops. If I...

    Setting pump speed for UFH

    I've just had a new UFH system fitted with a Reliance Thermomix control pack, which incorporates a UPM3 Auto pump. I'm wondering how you arrive at the best setting for the pump - it is providing flow to 6 separate pipe runs, designed as two zones controlled by wireless thermostats. I feel it...

    Niagara valve problem?

    I have a Dudley Niagara valve fitted in a Dudley concealed cistern. After flushing there is a very small trickle of water into the toilet pan, which is fairly hard to see after a while but wets paper very easily. I don't know if this is normal or not, but it is now causing a stain on the...

    Dudley cistern overflowing?

    I have a Dudley concealed cistern with electroflo flush, and internal overflow. There seems to be a very slight leak into the bowl, not much - if I wipe the surface clean, a drop forms and runs down into the bowl after a few seconds. It's not much but it's building up a stain on the porcelain...

    New boiler - or not?

    I have a Vaillant Thermocompact supplying 2 heating circuits and the DHW. It's around 12 years old, needs the occasional repressurising, but generally been excellent. BG engineer was round last week, to replace the mains supply tap to the Megaflo and change a noisy motorised valve on one...

    Aqualisa shower cartridge change

    I have a leaky Aqualisa Aquarian, about 10 yrs old. I can source the correct cartridge for this, but am not entirely sure about fitting it. I know that the cartridge is a push fit over the two short copper tails showing through the tilework, and I should use some silicone grease when refitting...

    Vaillant Thermocompact losing pressure

    Hi all - new here, and looking for ideas. My Vaillant Thermocompact VU 142 1E/282 1E was installed around 10 years ago, in a new build. During that time I've had to repressurise it 2-3 times, but since Christmas this has jumped to 3 times (in 2 months). I can't find any leaks anywhere in the...
