filling

Hello everybody! I rent a house with a Vaillant Ecotec pro combi boiler installed. I live in Brussels, not UK. Last year I had low pressure up to the point the boiler stopped working and saw the F.22 message. I searched my way through the Internet and found that I had to refill the boiler using...

Hi, I need bit of an advice about finding the filling loop in my heating system. Apologies for long description but thought to cover as much so relevant solutions can be suggested. I have spent endless hours searching internet including this forum and everywhere it is mentioned there must be...

Hello we have a Valiant Eco Tec 630 plus which was functioning fine however the pressure was low so we opened up the filling loop - water came out of the loop system under pressure 'like a back pressure' from within the sytem itself which meant water was spraying out from the valve head until...

Hi, I have an Artiston Combi boiler and I need to replace the filling loop as there is a leak on the valve I cannot stop now. I have attached a picture of the current filling loop and just want to ask, is it just as straight forward as buying the new filling loop shown above, and replacing my...

Hi all, Just reading through manual for underfloor heating which says that UFH must never be filled via filling loop from boiler. Left me a bit puzzled... Why is this? It's a single circuit system.

The pressure keeps dropping down to zero overnight when the boiler is off (there's someone coming round tomorrow to try and locate the leak). In the meantime we're just topping it back up but it's becoming increasingly difficult to open the tap on the filling loop - today it almost feels like it...

What do you guys/girls usually fill your pipe chases in with. (Don't say pipes) :)

Anyone came across the cause for this before? It's a macdee DVE 0600 valve with the cable linked to the flush.

Hello guys.im hoping someone would be able to help me with an issue on my gloworm boiler. ive had a problem with it losing pressure and needing regular topping up for the past few months after Afew visits it was diagnosed as blocked flexi pipe to expansion vessel which was causing it to hit 3...

Hi, Coming from the South East and a hard water area and now working in Cornwall, where the water is mainly soft, filling heating systems with soft water is a bad idea, no? how do I overcome this problem? Lots of inhibitor?

Hello Chaps, My first time here bringing my boiler issue. The summary is: My boiler is currently showing approx .75bar, there is air in the radiators as you can hear it and it seems to bleed for days then stop, but no water bleeds. Eventually the tallest radiator did bleed water, but then a...

Hi all, Brief description of problem, upstairs radiators (4 in total) bottom half are hot. I have tried bleeding, heating it up again and repeating the process but not improving the situation. So i Googled around to find someone suggesting the boiler pressure hence my question.. My boiler is...

Anyone know if on the WB filling link with the key you can remove the check valve bit? I need to fill a ch system from a tank supply then top up with a hand pump to flush and commission before the mains gets connected

Probably been posted before, but. Don't know why I didt have one of these years ago. just connect to filling loop and no more slow filling or popping the prv open! set at one bar.

Hello guys and girls, I'm really quite rubbish at this stuff so please talk to me like I'm simple. My overflow has been running for weeks and now my boiler has stopped working properly, I suspect they related. The boiler runs for about 10 seconds then stops with pipes banging and...

Hi Black water tank keeps filling up and water comes out the overflow from outside. It is coming in from the bottom pipe which is the outlet pipe. The pipe is warm to touch. So hot water is going into the tank. No heating has been switched on. Hot water is heated up for 1 hour in morning 1 hour...

It appears i have a dodgy cold filling loop on my boiler. what would a decent plumber charge to replace this? Is it an easy fix i can tackle myself?

Hi all, I recently had a plumber out to repair a leak on a radiator - the joint required soldering and the system had to be drained before this could happen. The plumber did warn me that it could result in a blockage when refilling the system so I was aware of this. As luck would have it...

Can anyone explain the boiler and its parts ? At first I saw a cictern tank on top of the cylinder and a gate valve which I thought was the inlet for f&e cictern so I shut it off and drained down the system. After finishing work on central heating I turned the gate valve back on and it wasn't...

Hi everyone I have a toilet that when flushed is very slow to fill. I've attached images to show what inside cistern is like. Would really appreciate advice. Thanks
