filling

The cistern is filling very slowly, just a trickle. I have looked at various videos and read tips on how to clean the valve from debris but cannot take this one apart!

If swapping a filling loop because the slotted bit on the cold feed is rounded off and is barley able to be turned. Is it ok just to swap the cold valve. As swapping the valve on the central heating return will mean draining down the system?

We recently had a repair done to a leak under our kitchen sink. Since then we are occasionally getting a loud vibrating noise, which seems to happen when the cold water tank is filling up in the loft. Last night the noise went on for a couple of minutes. I'm guessing it's to do with the cold...

Hi, I was wondering anyone could help me. I am having issues with my hot water system, my immersion heater does not seem to be filling up very quickly, literally just sounds like drips. This has been the case ever since I changed my main water stopcock downstairs, unsure if this is related...

This one is driving me mad. Water was dripping outside through the discharge pipe, so checked the boiler pressure guage and it was indicating 3.5 bar! Initially suspected the Pressure Reducing Valve. It was looking wet also. Pulled the cartridge out and it was in a bad shape internally. Fitted...

I have been to fit a new dis-connector to a 30ci part number 2000802600. it doesn't look anything like the existing filling loop. The original dis-connector was 2000801908 but is now obsolete. Has anyone fitted the new loop to one of these boilers. Thanks for any advice. casaco

Hello - i am trying to repressurise the boiler as its now at zero pressure. When connecting the filling loop (which is quite short and has a braided pipe), I then turn the filling loop isolation valves to the open position, and water leaks from both taps (blue and black). There is no...

Hi, I have a Halstead Ace boiler and just a few days ago, I went to repressurise it as the pressure dial was on zero and we had not hot water or heating. Anyway, when I used to repressurise before, I would hear the water going through and I was hear the pressure up. Now, I don't even get any...

Hi all, when you fill a system its to my little knowledge, that you start downstairs rads first. So is it best to close one side of each rad seperately, anyside if you don,t no which is the flow and return? Then bleed the rad and then open the chosen valve, then move to the next one and do the...

Hello AllI manage 6 apartments in the same building and recent repairs to the plumbing and boilers and subsequent replacement of a boiler I noticed that these were becoming a lot more frequent and Following my inspection of the apartments I seen that the filling loop was still connected to...

Hi all, called to look at a Vokera compact Se (2005)where there was water constantly filling from the domestic hot water over pressurising the boiler. Checked expansion vessel and ok. I can't see any divertor valve, so am I right in thinking that there is a leak in the heat exchanger between the...

Hi all, I'm new to the forums and relatively new to plumbing, and wondered if any of you experienced chaps could help me out... I went to a job today, where they had urinals that were constantly running out of the flush pipe and wasting water. The cistern fill pipe was fitted with an...

Hi everyone Im draining down an unvented stystem on the first floor, but I can't see the filling loop anywhere, or where one would attach. Surely it needs to be pressurised to 1.4bar, but how???

Hi all. Thanks for looking. I have 2 questions 1 how to fill old flue hole that does not conform to regs. Problem is its 3 floors up. Can't be reached from window. How to fill from inside!!?? If even poss. 2 gas line has to go past electric maim isolation switch before consumer unit. Only...

is it ok or even a good idea to use softened water in a central heating system? this is partially related to another post. the heat exchanger is iron, but it feeds via an indirect coil an RM stelflow unvented. will using softened water cause corrosion?

Hi Guys, I'm experiencing a bit of an issue here: When turning the taps on for hot water, there isn't any current / flow of water coming in and I don't know why. It felt as if something / someone turned the tap off. As a result, this has effected the kitchen, washing machine, dish washer...
