My system is a microbore system using 10mm plastic, on my Potterton HE Plus boiler the radiator temperature is not set all the way to the max, and the max temperature the boiler reads is around 81/82. Question is can the temperature for radiators on the boiler be set to max? what are the...

Hi all, New here to the forum. Got a slight problem with my UFH. Have 3 valves, DHW, Rads and UFH. Rads and DHW work fine using the programmers, switch on and off and heat up no problem. However whenever the UFH is calling for heat, the flow pipe at the manifold barely gets warm. Its a 4...

Hi I have had a new system put in and I am finding that the only way to keep the rads on (to even warm the room) is keep them all on at 5. They are Bulldog TRVs. if i set them to 4 (range 23-25C), they all seem to go off far too early.. two upstairs still go off when they are set to 5 (range...

Hi, Id like some advice on how to turn my water temperature down as it is currently scolding hot. Id like to do this without turning the heating down. We have a Potterton Gold H boiler. There is no thermostat in the house and no buttons or knobs on the boiler. Do I need to get a plumber to turn...

evening guys. On our condensing oil boiler will turning the pump speed to 1 increase the boilers condensing? That makes it more efficient? thanks

Dear everyone, I have a Vaillant ecoTec Boiler in my bedroom and it is making really loud and disturbing noises throughout the day again and again. Sometimes it is relatively quiet, then it is really loud again. These episodes last from a couple of minutes to over an hour and happen any time...

Some rads get very hot and some get warm .if I screw the lockshield valve in a little on the hottest ones ,will this make the warm ones get hotter ? Thanks

Hi im looking for some advice on how i can bypass the outdoor temperature sensor on the house hold heating system. Cheers

Hi Please excuse my ignorance. I have a problem with my conventional central heating system. The boiler (Ideal classic FF280) occasionally (every couple of days) trips on over temperature. Prior to tripping the central heating pipes make very loud banging and knocking sounds for a few minutes...

A couple of months ago I had a Vaillant ecotec plus 831 combo boiler installed with a Vaillant VRT 350f programmable wireless room thermostat. Everything seemed to work OK on installation. The hot water works really well without any problems. With the rather colder weather recently, I have...

Open vented hot water and mains pressure cold water. When mixed temperature Could the cold water override the hot causing a poor temperature of the hot. can someone put me right. Thank you.

I have a megaflow system and have noticed that if I pour a glass of hot water and leave it to stand that small white particles are floating in the water at the top of the glass. Any ideas what this could be of what may be causing it? Thanks

hello all engineers, how ow to set up the underfloor heating appropriate? shall I just set it up on the manifold itself like on the thermostat which looks similar to the thermostat on rads as well as on those knobs which are indicating how much water is going through the underfloor heating ...

Got a question A care home I work for has had a Legionella Risk Assessment done, it has highlighted that the water stored in the cold water tanks is over 20 deg C (they recorded it as 20.4 deg C) and its distributed at between 20.8 and 25.6 deg C at various outlets. I measured the water...

I just had a new Vaillant ecotec plus 831 combi boiler installed. Everything seems OK so far, but I have a question relating to the hot water temperature. The installer set the temperature to 55 degrees. When running the tap, the water seemed to get very hot - certainly too hot to put my hand...

I have an Elson Coral E Hot water tank in my all-electric flat. I've had it for about 2 and a half years without any problems, however recently I have noticed that the hot water pressure is not as much as it used to be and the temperature I get from the hot taps is reduced. I have tried...

Can someone please tell me, what would be the cheapest method of heating 36oC water to 45oC at the rate of 80 Litres per minute for 15 minutes and then maintaining this temperature for an hour? All to be repeated every hour. I will have multiple 1200 Litre baths that will fill within 15 minutes...

I have recently moved into a property and three of the existing radiator dials didn't work - they were not moveable and on constantly so I couldn't turn them off. I had a plumber come and drain the system to replace the three and now if I have the new dials on between 1-3 there is no heat only...
