Hi everyone this is my first post - I have no idea what I'm doing with plumbing and heating - have had some success by reading forums etc but now I'm stuck. I live in a townhouse with 3 floors. Never had much heat in radiators on my ground or 3rd floor. So I rebalanced the system. (Put all...

I am a not an expert and worried about a boiler installation for my mum. She is 91 and lives on her own (vulnerable adult with dementia). I had a new boiler installed (Worcester Greenstar 4000 30kW Combi) end of August as she needs a reliable boiler. I visit my mum every 2/3 weeks (I live in...

Dear all, I recently got a gas engineer installed a new boiler and an unvented cylinder & expansion vessel in my house, replaced the old boiler, vented cylinder and water tanks in loft. Just after a month of installation, last week, the house lost hot water, it was because the cylinder...

Hi! I have a 9 year old Baxi combi boiler. When I turn the central heating on, the boiler pressure is getting so high that it keeps cutting out completely. It's absolutely fine when I run any hot water though. Does anybody know what the problem is likely to be please? Thank you

Planning to use on CH but can be electric too.

I have a Worcester Greenstar 30i boiler which is about 5 years old and fully serviced. As the days have become colder I decided to put the heating on and noticed that the pressure gauge was sitting at 2 bars cold. I bled a radiator and brought in down to just below 1.5 bars and put the heating...

Hi (again!) Following on from this thread.... https://www.plumbersforums.net/threads/under-pressure-dum-d-d-dum-dum-options-for-high-water-pressure.122904/ I hope you don't mind but I thought I'd start a new one as Dwr Cymru could turn up next week so really want to decide what's best and...

Hi all This is only about my third/fourth post, so go easy. Also, I'm only an enthusiastic amateur, not a pro... I'm having issues with the waterboard and can't work out what's happening. For the past three months, they're saying we're using a huge quantity of water - 700 litres per day at...

Hi all I've got a lot of plumbing work coming up in the house soon and had a plumber visit yesterday to quote. Whilst here he checked the water pressure and said it is one of the highest he has seen, at 8 bar. I've roughly calculated the flow rate before and it came out at 30L per minute...

Hi.. Advice please regarding a new Worcester Bosch 8000 Life 35 for a 4 bed detached with ensuite and currently powerful shower which is great. We currently have an old High Flow 400 . I understand heat output will be the same on a 40 / 45 / 50 model but will the 35 be sufficient especially...

I have a Vaillant Ecotec plus 637 boiler. The pressure is very high and pegged to the right - water is dripping out of the outside overflow through the Pressure Release Valve. An engineer has replaced the expansion vessel and checked the filling loop. The pressure gauge is still pegged. (Note...

I purchased and fitted a Swirl high neck monobloc assembly in my kitchen,all is well. However the hot water comes out as a jet. Is this normal?

Hello, Not strictly plumbing, but need your advice nonetheless as I'm out of ideas. We have recently moved into newly renovated apartment (victorian house converted into flats) with new individual smart meters under the pavement. According to the meter our monthly usage is about 20-25 m3 of...

Disclaimer: I know very little about boilers so sorry if my assumptions are way off! From testing by logging energy usage, and that if I turn the boiler on the meter lights up like a Christmas tree, it seems our Santon PremierPlus boiler (PP170E) is constantly running causing extreme energy...

Hi to all in the forum! I have a 6 bar pressure relief valve attached to an under sink heater and it was always dribbling a bit. Today, I finally bought a new pressure gauge and was astounded to measure the pressure at 7 bar! I usually find most mains to be between 2-3 bar and so it seems...

Last night I noticed the Boiler on E1. After a few times in the past having this issue and being advised on how to re-pressure the boiler, I pressured it to just under 2 - Boiler working again! This morning I came down to find out the under floor heating hadn't heated up the kitchen as much it...

The gaffer has decreed we should get a high level wc to replace the downstairs one. For a change I actually concur with her that it would look nice. They seem, like most things, to vary wildly in price. Is there anything I should specifically look for in the specs or any particular make who are...

Hi, My boiler has started making a very high pitch noise when the heating turns on. It seems to be originating from the boiler flue (see video https://bit.ly/3pYMFrI ) Is this an indication of air trapped in the system ? Do radiators need bleeding ? Or a sign of faulty boiler part ? Thanks

Hi everyone, How do I know if the water in my flat has high pressure or low pressure? I have good water pressure throughout the flat but would like further advice thank you. Combi boiler (22kw) Mains fed water throughout building Top floor flat (2nd floor) Boiler in the kitchen to the...

Has anyone come across extremely mains high pressure in a domestic property ?..? I used 2 gauges one at 6 bar and other at 10 bar both were off scale when static. I was shocked at the readings. Have since fitted PRV. Just seeing if people have experienced the same.
