cold water

Daughter's boiler, Alpha CB28, increases in pressure to the point the pressure release valve is kicking in. This is even when it's not being used (unoccupied flat), and can rise from 1.5 bar to 3.5 overnight! Boiler works fine for both heating and hot water otherwise. i have eliminated it...

Hi, Ever since we moved into and refurbished our new house, the plumbing has been strange to say the least. The faucets in the kitchen and in every bathroom do this weird thing where the water comes out a little warm when we set the tap to maximum cold, and a little cool when we set the...

I've recently done some plumbing work on my house, and I think some debris may have got into the boiler as hot water flow is slower. Cold taps are fine. Research leads me to the filter on the incoming cold side of boiler, but I can't see anywhere that tells me where it is. Can anyone give me a...
