Good morning
I installed a Harvey’s water softener recently. Have a semi detached property with 3 showers and a 2 toilets with a mega flow cylinder
25mm mains pipe work with 22mm onwards. I put the softener before the prv which was pre installed with the unvented cylinder as the rep said...
I have been told that I can't have a mains pressure unvented hot water cylinder with a back boiler on a wood burning stove as the heat source is uncontrollable.
Is there a method to make the heat source controllable?
I was imagining that if the cylinder was at its maximum temperature then if...
Hi, new guy here. I've just had my annual service on my combi boiler and the mains water supply pressure appears to be lower. Is there anything they could have done to cause this?
Hi all,
My house is about 28 years old so some things are starting to fail with age. I changed the main water stopcock and well as the PRV as the stopcock was leaking and the pressure valve would not budge from 4 bar (even when it was disconnected).
My main question is - what is the upper...
Hi,
I live in a 9yr old 3 story townhouse with showers on the 1st and 2nd floor, a bath on the 1st and toilets and basins on all three floors.
I've never been very happy with my shower and tap water pressures but have only recently investigated the issue.
The house has an unvented indirect...
Hi all, hoping for some help here.
Over the last 2 months I've been experiencing dips in water pressure from my kitchen tap. The weird this is that these are momentary dips in pressure that occur every 15 seconds. It seems to happen in the mornings and evenings and is making my plastic pipes to...
Hello,
Bought my house 3 years ago, a 50 year plus detached house on the coast of north west England. Lots of heating and insulating projects to do over the next couple of years. So I though I'd join this forum so I can find out some good ideas while getting my house up to scratch.
Currently I...
Hello,
I was hoping someone could answer a query that has puzzled me for a while and nobody has been able to help all that much. I have a new mains water supply coming into the basement which has replaced the old lead version. This new connection is instantly greeted by a pressure reducing...
I was hoping to get a professional opinion regarding whether or not a booster pump (such as a Stuart Turner 'Flomate') would do what I want it to do.
At present the flow rate in our house isn't terrible - about 10 litres per minute at its best - but that doesn't seem to go far if more than one...
Hi All,
Hoping you can advise. I'm no expert on the boiler front but i'm trying to figure something out. I have an Ideal istor boiler with a vented cylinder and boiler all in the one unit. The boiler has a shocking reputation but touch wood it's been great for 2 years since moving into the...
We purchased this to boost our mains water pressure for a new shower build when plumbing works were being done in September. Plans changed and we no longer need/used this as part of our new build. It was fitted by the plumber but not used so it comes with union joins too.

Hi guys!
Silly question I'm sure but voices in head sowing seeds of doubt so apologies if a dumb waste of your time. However, I need to check the mains water pressure before installing a RO Unit. Need to know if need a booster or not. So, do I just buy a mains water pressure gauge (seen one on...

Afternoon all
Please could you advise me on this water mains pressure tester on what type of tap it should fit onto as it looks like it needs a bib tap outside garden tap type thread?
Is this type any good? Its made by Monument at 10bar max pressure.
Many thanks for any advice you can give!

Hi all,
Is it possible (has anyone tried) to combine a gravity fed system (tank in attic) together with the mains.
Basically by passing the tank though putting a non return valve on the outlet of the tank.
This I hope will add the pressure of water up to the mains pressure without need...

We have recently installed a closed pressurized system (magaflo ), in order to support our 2 new bathrooms with decent water pressure.
While pressure is generally not great, between 6-9 am it is considerably worse.
Our plumber believes this is due to increased demand in the neighbourhood during...
