Was wondering if anyone could help me out – have relocated my boiler to the loft from kitchen where it was located in a large cupboard. I now have a new combi boiler as opposed to the old condensing ones with tank - this has freed up much needed space in my kitchen and also in my loft where the tank used to be.
About to start work on a kitchen refurbishment but before I start on this I was wondering if anyone could help me with this – please see pics –
There is what I believe is a CLEAR PUMP HOSE Pipe (plastic) that runs from the boiler in loft down through kitchen ceiling and down the wall (at side of copper pies) through under kitchen floor and out.
Should there always be water in this pipe? If you look at the plastic pipe you can see a VISIBLE WATER LEVEL that doesn’t change. Is this normal? If so, should the water level change i.e. when boiler running?
Surprised that they use plastic style hose pipes on boilers but I expect this is what they do now. I know the old boiler didn’t have a plastic hose pipe …..
Just want to ensure everything is okay with piping before we start what will be a plastering, flooring and everything job!
Many thanks
