    Flow problem to shower.

    I have a surrey flange. I think it is connected up wrong though, the pump is fed from the top and hot water to the rest of the house is from the side. This has been connected like this since my bathroon installer fitted our en-suite 8 years ago. The pump used to be in the loft and when I...

    The fixed shower head is higher that the top of the cylinder, that must be the case in lots of situations. The cwsc is raised by about 1metre in the loft.

    Pump not working on central heating

    Oil fired boiler. I isolated the pump at the valves, changed the head only. Opened valves, bled all rads and the pump. All was fine for about an hour, then i noticed rads were getting cold. Its not the roomstat, ive bypassed that for now.

    Pump not working on central heating

    I think there might be a blockage somewhere. Pipes hot from pump down past 2 port valve towards boiler but return pipe from boiler is cold
