    Just to update, I went in again this morning as I received an email yesterday telling me that the taps were back to spluttering. I managed to get in to the ceiling void above toilets to try and find where the original pipes were coming through. I found them and saw that they had gate valves on...

    Went to store this morning, there was agate valve on secondary return, which I turned off. I got a good flow through the taps, this leads me to believe that the return has been connected into the wrong place on the primary flow pipe. So if I was to re pipe it to the other end would this then...

    As above, stevetheplumber, the secondary pump is on a lot of pipe work throughout the building. One thing I have found out is that the hot supply pipe and return feed on the same floor, 2x kitchen sinks, then the ladies toilets,4 washbasins, then a disabled toilet, 1 washbasin,then the gents...

    So, with the secondary return at the beginning of the run of pipe, that doesn't make any difference to the pull on the flow to the taps. I am going in tomorrow so I will isolate the secondary from the main flow and see what happens. Thanks for your input.

Previous to this they had RADA infrared taps and never had a problem. It was first thought that the taps set up was causing the problem, but they then moved on from that...

    I would also like to add that before these toilets were refurbished everything was working fine.

    ShaunCorbs, Thanks for your response. There are 2 calorifiers in the basement, the toilets are situated on the 4th floor. The cold supply comes from a tank on the roof which is next floor up. There are 2 TMV's each supplying 2 taps and if the hsr is the secondary return, then no I haven't turned...

    Public Ladies toilets having a problem with flow of water to washbasins. The taps are infrared with a solenoid, every morning when taps are tried there is only a trickle and its pulsing, after a few minutes they start to splutter and air is ejected and then a good flow of water. If left for half...

    Issues with British Gas UP2 controller - advice needed please

    Having read your initial post correctly, I see that you have problems setting the hot water as well, though it does work. I would try replacing the programmer, go to your local screwfix, item no 26078 £48.87, give it a try and if it doesn't cure the problem , just take it back for a full refund...
