The amount of water that came out was about 300-400ml. It wasn't much because i turned off the water in shower...

    Leaking Stopcock - Not sure how to access

    Got a leaky stopcock/valve/tap as I'm sure many do at this time of year in the northern hemisphere (UK based). Watched a few videos on this common problem, and it seems like some PTFE and an adjustable spanner will do the trick. Only problem is, my stopcock looks nothing like others; where they...

    Expansion Vessel leaking water - no air or water from Schrader valve?

    Hey, I've got a Grant Vortex that's leaking water from the seal around the expansion vessel - it's the round type about 50cm wide. The system is at 1.5 - 2 bar, but the expansion vessel has no air in it, and it's leaking water. No water is coming out of the Schrader valve either. The system...

    Water softener leaking through drain (not overflow)

    Hello, as is common with most newbies I've arrived with a problem. Our water softener is about 18 months old, a BWT WS355 in an insulated outside cabinet. It's probably the third we've had - been here a very long time and always had a softener. I installed it myself, just connecting to existing...

    Mixer tap leaking from base of spout

    I have just tried to balance my heating system (16 cast iron rads, 3 towel rails), all the lockshields were fully open. When I try to close them down, they all leak, from a dribble to a gush. When I say all, I tried 6 and then stopped. The system was installed 9 years ago. Despite extensive...
