    Pensions and auto enrollment

    its all good and well for the employee but as a small business this just isn't possible, we do not have massive revenue coming in every week and this is all extra strain and pressure leading to not being able to afford to employ.

    Power flushing 1 pipe system

    One pipe systems work best with swept tees and trv in Let at the top of rad and locks bottom of rad. But as much as you want to say “well yer it worked before so it has to work again now” it’s a old system that is not to manufacture instructions. You won’t find in the MI a onepipe system. Get...

    Ideal mini c32 diverter issue

    Pump No heating no hot water. Actuator needs replacing as it was full of water but don’t see why actuator would have any affect on the other pin piping out for the micro switch. Diverter has had all internal parts replaced with the devirter kit.

    Power flushing 1 pipe system

    Yer one pipe system it will just whizz round the pipe without entering the rad. Unless you install a gate valve in between the two tees of the rad for each rad o_O ha But that’s just madness haha

    Odd radiator behaviour.

    Yes as best has said it wouldn’t mater if you went round and did all radiators with just the hose as the pipework will also be restricted by the build up of sludge. And the pressure from mains water from a hose is only half a job if that. Correct acidic chemicals need to be run through the...

    Odd radiator behaviour.

    You need to get a powerflush carried out.... Cleaning a single radiator out with a hose is pointless..... as soon as you have connected it back onto the system it will just get filled with all the magnitite from the rest of the system.
