pump

My mum has a Miele Novotronic Premiere Plus, purchased around 1997. Recently, it started to leak during cycles, but was still able to wash clothes. We pulled it out to have a look at the pump (where problems have arisen previously) and now it is leaking far worse. Currently, as soon as we...

Hi all, I'm installing an open vented system for my hot water (bad mains pressure rules out an unvented system) and I'm wondering if I can get away without a pump. I'm going to have 2 bathrooms run off the tank and the showers are rated for 0.1 bar. I figured if i have a 28mm pipe from the tank...

hi, firstly a bit of back ground. a couple of weeks ago the hot water pipe under our both blew off (due to the chap who fitted the bathroom before we bought the house not tightening a compression fitting properly) anyway this led to the hot water pumping out under the bath for around 20 mins...

Hi all Long time reader, first time poster... I'm about to purchase a pond pump and filter which have a 3 and 5amp fuse rating respectively. I planned to wire these into a fused IP66 switch box next to the pond which will then run to the house. At the moment I have an RCD double socket on the...

I want to balance my nan's heating system, as there are a couple of radiators which do not get very hot. I have bled all radiators and no air has come out. I have read various guides on balancing which tell you to work out from the closest rad to the boiler to the one furthest away. The pump...

Just as a quick sketch is this possible? I would like to install a shower pump in my airing cupboard, due to space I cannot fit it below the cylinder, only on a shelf above. I would have 700mm of static head between the cold water storage lowest position and the pump. The shower head would be...

Hi all, My brother has moved in to a new house which has a gravity fed central heating and hot water system. There is a hot water cylinder in first floor airing cupboard and hot water and central heating header tanks in the loft. His current shower is a standard mixer valve (non-thermostatic...

Hi guys, looking for a bit of help. Recently qualified plumber but having an issue as my manager is away on holiday! Getting hot water at taps but it's taking quite a while to come through at certain outlets, I'm thinking it will be a faulty pump but I'm not all that sure on how to fully check...

I have tried a number of local plumbers but unfortunately, have had no success. I have a vented heating system and am running a glow worm 30 HXI boiler, approx 2 years old. It is a three zone system - one zone is the underfloor heating consisting of 5 loops, another zone is the rads consisting...

A couple of weeks ago I had an install of a Worcester Bosch Greenstar Highflow 440CDi with the Worcester Wave controller. It might be my imagination, but I think the CH pump runs constantly. Even when it's been hours since the heating was on, I can hear and feel (near the boiler) the vibration...

Hey guys, so i had this issue where I currently get no hot water or central heating for downstairs rads. I thought the culprit might be the pump since the boiler seems to be working. Anyways I unscrewed the pump screw after shutting off power and a stream of water just came out non stop, is...

Hi all My whirlpool-type bath (see pic)... suddenly stopped working the other day. The pump went from chugging away happily to a whining sound like something had jammed in it. I've tried it a few times since then and it still just hums without kicking in and pumping the water. Today I tried...

Hi, I live in Scotland,UK and have a flat roofed house and my hot water cylinder is in the cupboard of one of the upstairs bathrooms giving a very low head of HW pressure to my two upstairs bathrooms (and low pressure downstairs too). My CW is mains pressure. What I would like to do is fit a...

Hi all, We had a new bathroom fitted about 6 months ago. The company who did the work sent a bathroom fitter who had spent most of his life living and working in the Netherlands. He was a brilliant tiler and meticulous in his work (the job took 4 weeks instead of the quoted 2 weeks!) but we...

Came across this product whilst looking for something else on Google the other day... http://www.showerpowerbooster.co.uk I remember seeing the inventor on Dragons Den. I don't think it went to well but I don't trust contrived TV productions personally, I know how they work! The product looks...

Hello, We are in a 3 floor new build property. The top floor bathroom has an electric shower which is always at pretty low pressure, and drops below the cut out level when any otherp tap in the house is open, making the shower unusable. I was wondering if it is possible to fit a booster...
