I need to replace a pressure reducing valve on a heatrae megaflow h/w cylinder, not replaced one before on a pressurised system, has anybody any tips on the best way to go about it...?
Particularly in refilling, after draining the system?:confused:
Any help would be greatly...

Whilst I am aware you can take the dip tube out of an oso cylinder to increase its capacity,can the same be done with a Megaflow?
Obviously you have to fit an expansion vessel aswell.

I have a Megaflow system which is about five years old. It works fine except that the amount of hot water available is less than two showers' worth. It's been like this for ages (only just getting around to sorting it!), when we first moved here I'm sure we had visitors and four showers was no...

It has a switch for day and night. I was never told how I should use it. Do you think my bill has gone up so much as we shower in the morning and...

I have an unvented megflow system. The pressure to both the hot and cold taps in the bath is good when using them one at a time. But when both taps are turned on the pressure on both taps dips considerably. I guess the cold water pressure dips because it is feeding both the tap and also...

My mate has a Combi boiler in a very, very large house. I think he has at least 3 bathrooms.
He has radiators and they all have TRVs except the one in the hall.
He reckons he doesn't have a room stat anywhere in the house.
Can this be the case? How does the house call for heat?
