Hi everyone Would love some advice! We have a hot water cylinder which lost 14 degrees (48 to 34) in four hours, with no demand/usage. So I think the heat is escaping. The circulation pump (which you can see in the photo) is off, so could passive convection be the reason? The pump is always...

Ok guys so my Range Tribune He immersion heater stopped giving hot water a couple days ago (I’m a joiner with a limited knowledge in plumbing) also the hot water capacity was never that much it would do 2 showers a day. Any ideas of what’s up with it?

Our attic water tank (which is boarded in and not easily accessible) decided to stop filling up today... (we couldn't hear it filling up) and with the temperature outside reaching 32+ I am wondering if this might have caused a problem. The temp this evening outside has gone down to 21 degrees...

There was an AEG Prosource Hot Water tap (model GYB00418DT) in the kitchen when we bought our house. The 'standard' mixer handle (i.e. not the boiling water handle) has started to leak intermittently - it doesn't switch off and the tap leaks as a result. I can't find a spare tap online...

The hot & cold pipes to my bath are 15mm, shouldn't they be 21mm. The hot water is feed from a hot water tank and is a dribble whilst the cold is very strong. Should I have the pipes changed to 21mm or would an electric pump on the hot water feed suffice? If fitting a pump, are they robust and...

Hi, I've noticed a slight weeping from the hot feed to my cloakroom tap. Does anyone know how this seals? Is it a rubber gasket between the different coloured metals? Not taken it apart as would need to partially drain the hot tank before doing so. The Hansgrohe instructions suggest that...

When I turn on water only on the logic 24 boiler the water heats up and so does the radiators. It’s a a single floor apartment with the boiler recently serviced and the safety valve and 12 litre vessel change. Using the hive heating system.

What are the factors that determine the life of a water tank? Obviously the quality of the water and the materials used to construct the tank are important. But beyond that I'm fuzzy. Is it just the number of gallons of water that pass through it? The number of "fresh" gallons of water that...

Hi all, Just looking for some advice if anyone has worked on a boilermate 2000 try to condense the story, Lived in our home 3 years with the system working fine, but 2 days ago hot water stopped. From research it now looks like the past owner already had a problem. They have changed the...

When I turn on my hot water taps anywhere in the house, after about half a minute there is a humming noise all around the house. When I turn on the cold tap, the noise stops. Any ideas what is causing this humming noise?? Thanks Michael.

Hi we've just had a bathroom fitted with a mixer tap to the sink and mixer tap with a bath handheld shower fitting to the bath and there is almost no pressure at all. Previously we had single taps and the pressure was fine and is good downstairs. It is all gravity fed. We have a shower pump...

We have a shower which has always been too hot no matter how you adjust the mixer temperature but recently it's really burning hot. The shower is in a loft conversion and the plumbers teed off a downstairs shower to feed the bathroom upstairs. There are two isolation valves downstairs for hot...
