Hello everyone,

I recently had a combi boiler installed and with the new pressure my old cistern system also needed updating to accomodate.
However the fill valve contantly drips when filled, is this normal or is it a easy fix i can do myself?

Thanks
Rob

you could try replacing the diaphragm washer that looks something like this?

Recently had a Viessmann Vitodens combi boiler installed, quite often when the adjacent cold mixer tap is opened the boiler starts for a few seconds! Can anyone tell me what is causing this? And how to cure?
