Hello,
I have a piped underfloor heating system in the kitchen. The valve/mixer/pump unit is under the stairs.
It has a number of settings and a digital display. Settings include PP1, PP2, CP1, CP2, I, II, III, Auto, a number followed by W, and what looks like a night mode setting.
When I...
Hi, I have 5 bed house with underfloor heating on all 3 floors.I also have converted attic. UFH was installed in year 2000.
I want to put low temp rads in attic (it currently has no heating!) and feed water from UFH on floor below.
Question 1: Is this a sensible approach?
Question 2: Is this...
Hello
I've got a wet ufh heated by gas boiler. Is it possible to connect an indoor electric heat pump or heater that would fit in the utility room cupboard and be used during the day when solar panels are generating excess electricity?
Hello,
I'm looking at installing a new central heating system with UHF on the ground floor and normal rads on the 1st Floor. The design was initially to have at its heart an Ideal System Boiler and a Telford Tempest 500l Indirect Cylinder but I'm considering changing/modifying this design to...

Hi, we have a completely new install from scratch/building site.
When UFH zone comes on, some of the rads also come on a bit. The same also happens when the hot water comes on. They are operated separately though
Is this normal, or is something wrong (and is it a big deal?). I worry I am...
So vinyl instructions say limit is 30c, but that means it'll take longer to get the room hot, which i don't wanna wait. But I also don't wanna destroy the new vinyl I've just laid.
So I thought why not test it.
I have a sous vide machine which will heat water to a consistent temperature, I...
It looks like I have 2 options. The first uses the existing pump, the second uses another pump to pump water exclusively to the ufh manifold and pump. I have already taken off a separate flow and return from the top of the boiler. I would like to know which would work best. Any advice welcome...

I am building an extension and planned to have UFH on its ground floor. My builder imbeded 15mm pipes under 10cm concrete which was meant to be the total thickness of the floor. Unfortunately as they knocked through to my existing house, it turned out that the new floor is 8cm lower than the old...
Hi folks,
I have newish gas boiler in 5-bed period red-brick house.
The ENTIRE house has underfloor heating which works pretty well.
However, my gas boiler provides heat for underfloor heating and also heat for hot water. Obviously these are at totally different temperatures.
ALso, there are...
Hi all,
Looking for some advice. Recently moved into a new house and we've been doing bit and pieces to it, we're now at the point where we're looking at the heating system. There is currently a multi-fuel burner which provides hot water and heat for the radiators, there is also an immersion...

Hi,
I have a strange problem in my recently purchased property. I hope someone can shed some light on it.
In a nutshell, when a thermostat causes the underfloor heating pump to run, the boiler does not provide heat unless it happens to be switched on manually or by the boiler timer.
It is...
Hi all. Hope you are well. I need to quote for a job where they want underfloor heating downstairs in the dining kitchen area. The dining room is screed and insulation. Old screed I have taken up and the old is suspended floor with 100mm joists with sleeper walls 350mm apart.
Anyone use a...
Any luck on the rifeng flow meters . I’m looking for two fine thread too !
I have a water underfloor heating system installed that has never really worked. There were also radiators installed around the same time that also didn’t work. So basically the entire central heating doesn’t work. There is no air gap in the water pipes, I’m convinced there are some underlying...
Hello, I’ve had some work done in my house to redo a kitchen and replace damaged floors and while doing this I was convinced to install W-UFH since the floor was coming out anyway and there were some joist issues in the Victorian property.
Previously I had about 9 radiators in my house, 2 of...

Hi, I need some advice on what wet UFH system to get for our renovation of a 1970s 3 bed bungalow. The house had subsidence so in the process of fixing that the floors were dug up and replaced with the following construction: hardcore base, membrane, 150mm insulation, concrete finish...
Hi, I am trying to see if anyone recognises the brand of this underfloor heating manifold? I think it's about 22 years old. I'm trying to get more details to see if I can change the faulty actuator. Any suggestions welcome. Many thanks, Mark
Hi all, sorry a very stupid question from a newbie. I think some of my actuators are not closing the valves fully, so there's flow even when the heating is 'off'. Is there a way of checking/adjusting these? Can I just pull them off?
Should I instead just tighten the nut at the top (the...
