First post. Limited experience of plumbjng design but adequate soldering skills and am not too shoddy at tightening threaded connections... What do you think about using a cheap instant water heater (300 quid variety) to heat a buffer tank for underfloor heating. Gas bottles as no town gas...

Have a large ufh job to do 250m2 with low profile boards, 12mm pipe, 150mm spacing. Customer does not want gas in the house so wants an electric boiler. Unvented cylinder will be direct so boiler will only be running ufh. 2 manifolds to be installed 3 phase will be installed, but this means...

Hi , thanks in advance for taking the time to read my post. I’m currently about to start renovating my kitchen / dining room, I am looking at the idea of putting 1 zone UFH in .The construction is a suspended timber floor on dwarf walls. I was looking at the metal spreader plate with the...

Hi Guys, see attached pics. Can anyone help with the following issue; I had UFH system installed last year for my kitchen extension, the system was working ok when the plumber finished but as it was completed in the summer months the system was left off until required during the winter months...

How essential is biocide in UFH? I have brown dirt in nearly all flow-meters and heard different views on how effective biocide (such as X700) may be. Some say brown colour is from iron particles (magnaclean is fitted) other say its from bacteria living in the pipes? On a close topic: Is it ever...

Hi, My CH system is made up of 3 or 4 radio controllers. Each controller is responsible for a manifold & pump with attached number of UFH zones and radio operated room thermostats. I just found out that the flow pipe into the hot water tank (megaflo) starts to cool down rapidly when one of the...

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum, and I need advice, and a good schematic for combining a lot of components, so they will work the best. So here are the main components: 30kw wood burner 1000 litres hot water storage tank 200 litres DHW storage tank with 2 serpentines (one will be used for...

I am fitting my first low loss header onto an unvented system including ufh and 300ltr tank. I have picked the job up after the ufh has been layer, tested and screened over. All I have to work with is the manifold with flow and return pipes and pre installed rad circuit all of which feed into...

Hi guys, I'm pricing my first UFH job. It's a new extension. UFH zones in kitchen, utility and bathroom. I will be fitting a new boiler which will supply heat to the existing radiators and UFH. Having had no experience in UFH just wondering where the best place to start is. Would a manufacturer...

I have a gas boiler for DHW and single zone heating (S-plan with TRVs on all radiators). Now I'm retired and my circulation isn't as good as it once was, I have problems in the colder months with cold feet - particularly on tiled or engineered wood panel flooring on the ground floor. I have...

Hi all. If I may, I'd like to ask some beginner's questions. The situation: We think we may have air trapped in our UFH system. Therefore, we're considering refilling the circuits. However, there are a few details we need to clear up first. First of all, we need (?) to buy some hose end...

Hi - I little insight and guidance would be much appreciated. My wet UFH was installed over a year ago by a qualified heating engineer, he went through all stages and did the pressure test as well, everything has been working nicely without any issues. Now here is the unlucky coincidence - I had...

We have a 2 year old Valiant EcoTec 832 Combi boiler which was running our CH and hot water. We recently had some UFH installed and the boiler moved to our new extension. Over the past weeks the pressure in the heating system keeps creeping up. It goes from approx 1.5 to 3.2 bar overnight. If...
