    Pressure loss in new loft (unvented cylinder)

    Hello. I need some urgent advice re water pressure in an unvented system. A few months back, I had my gravity fed system + boiler changed to an unvented cylinder + system boiler. The water pressure following the swap was incredible. We were originally talking about putting in a mains booster...

    Pressure rising on an unvented system

    Hi all, The pressure bar in my unvented system is rising. It’s set at 1.5 and rises to 2/2.5. I know it will rise when the water is heating but this now doesn’t drop. I have an Oil boiler and at present only the hot water is on. I have reduced the pressure by bleeding a radiator. My question...

    My Mains water pressure has dropped after annual boiler service

    Hi, new guy here. I've just had my annual service on my combi boiler and the mains water supply pressure appears to be lower. Is there anything they could have done to cause this?

    Garden tap low pressure and hissing

    I’ve just noticed my outside tap is making a sort of hissing sound and the pressure doesn’t seem as good as it was. It has much less power coming out of the hose pipe. A few months ago the return valve was fixed as it got stuck could it be related to this? I’m happy to try taking it apart to see...

    Closed loop pressure increasing

    Just wondering if anyone has even seen an issue with the pressure gradually increasing on a closed loop system where there is no fill loop attached. I'm seeing this issue on a gshp and whats more unusual is its on the cooling side. If it was on the heating side you could put it down to expansion...

The latest problem is that I had an electric shower replaced because it was cycling between scalding...

    What boiler pressure loss is ok over time?

    My Ideal boiler pressure gauge pointer shows about 0.85 when cold (about 1.8 when the heating is on). 10 weeks ago the readings were 1.0 when cold and 2.0 when hot. Clearly there is a loss in pressure over time. I can see no leak on any radiator or near the boiler. Is this pressure drop of...

    Can you increase water pressure to your home?

    I have a unit (1 of 3), and mine is furtherest from the road. I have fairly crap water pressure and have had the water corp out, who agree its crap, but claim its due to the distance from the mains. Is there something that can be done to increase water pressure?

    Pressure reducing valve - can I remove?

    As part of full house renovation, I've switched from a conventional boiler/gravity fed tank to a combi boiler. Under the old system I note that a pressure reducing valve has been fitted to the pipework feeding the shower mixer (assuming as mains cold overpowering the supply pressure from the...

    Poor flow and pressure issues?

    Hi guys. I replaced an electric shower for a family member recently and on completion noticed how poor the pressure was. It wasn’t like this the week before when I initially looked at it. Apparently Severn Trent were in the area the following week to do some work. She’s now saying that the...

    Pressure release valves

    Anyone finding these 'failing' early? I'm in Ireland and have never seen these valves opening under normal conditions.
