Hi all, I have an issue with my UFH that I hope you can help with.
We have UFH but have never been 100% sure that it works as it should: the lounge/kitchen (one room) has been fine, but the bedrooms have always been a bit chilly. I've put this down to them being carpeted and it taking longer...

Hi All, hopefully a simple question, but wanted to ask those who've a bit more experience than myself.
Obviously an UFH system would normally (in a typical gas/combi boiler scenario) send a call for heat from the boiler, firing the boiler into life.
I have a Biomass (wood pellet) boiler (with...
Hi all, first post on here - really hope you can help.
We have recently moved to a newly converted barn (single story) which has a Polypipe under floor heating system heated by an ideal system +24 boiler. It is quite a large property (the barn is 22x5x6.5) as well as a similarly sized...
Hi all,
first post here so be gentle!
We have recently installed UFH in around 60M2 of our house. It is a John Guest 3 port manifold assembly with 3 speed John Guest pump & Blending Valve. Each port has an electronic actuator head fitted.
The boiler has recently moved into the loft and is a...
Evening all
I have been researching the hell out of this, following my last project. Currently ripping half the kitchen out to remove a wall and make our downstairs open plan - If you wouldn't mind me running my plans by you to hopefully pick any obvious holes in.
Current floor is standard T&G...
I have a job I will be asking a plumber to do but would like to understand what is involved so I can see if the end result will meet my expectations.
I have fully operational Underfloor heating system which I love but am looking to integrate into my smart home system.
Currently it is...
Hi
Does anyone recognise the mixer valve on this manifold? I need to get a new one but could not see any manufacturers info on it anywhere.
Cheers

ok, so I have a underfloor heating manifold with 11 ports (see pic)
Rooms struggle to warm up. Think I know why, here's what I've tested:
1. Pressure expansion tank in garage 2 bar - ok
2. Boiler working, water hot - ok
3. Thermostats calling for heat and actuators respond - ok
4. Flow: all...
Hi
I have a wet based underfloor heating system and I've noticed that the stone floor in our kitchen isn't warming up evenly. There is one patch that is much warmer than other areas. I have noticed that when I look at the manifold the supply temperature is running at around 50 to 55 degs but...
Hi, can any one give any advice on UFH please? We have a system that goes through one pump, picture attached, and there is no way of switching the UFH off whilst the downstairs heating is on, despite it being on a separate thermostat.
When I turn the thermostat for the UFH something in the...
Hi
I have a manifold with 7 zones. All are working as they should apart from one which is for the kitchen.
Attached is a picture of the flow valve. It is non adjustable. Most flow valves I have seen on the internet are all adjustable.
If I set up a hose to both the flow and return sides of...
