Hot water issue with combi boiler Discussion Thread

I have a combi boiler, the hot water to my bath and taps upstairs is hot and stays hot, aswell as the hot tap in my downstairs bathroom, but in my kitchen the hot tap gets very very hot but it only lasts a couple of minutes then runs cold. I don’t know if it’s connected but the previous owner has what looks like a water filter system under the sink. Any advice please?
Thank you

well suction negative pressure Discussion Thread

My pump is lifting water about 20 to 25 ft through 1-1/4" pipe at about 800' above sea level. Can anyone calculate the negative pressure at the pump for me? I'm just not that bright. I've recently installed a check valve near the pump and am having some issues with the system sucking air in and losing prime. Just curious to know what numbers I'm up against.

Shower drain cover - can I get something that will fit? Discussion Thread

The drain cover in my shower cubicle is flaking and discoloured. I was hoping to remove the centre section and replace it with one of those slightly-domed covers, concealing the outer ring. Unfortunately it seems they all come with a 42mm spigot attached, and the hole is just 40mm. I don’t want to turn this into a major project because the shower cubicle itself will need replacing in a year or two. Any ideas...

 

Noisy main cold water pipe, my plumber hasn't heard this before. Discussion Thread

The mains water coming into the property via a 15mm copper pipe, I have a Worcester Bosch Heatslave 15/19 around 16 yrs old to which the mains goes into - just above the boiler our plumber fitted a pressure valve to limit the pressure going into the boiler as we kept blowing the flow meter in the boiler...

 

CRM SOFTWARE - your opinions on the best few brands please Discussion Thread

Hi Everyone,


I currently use E-Works CRM software and feels it does have good customer support & good value for money but I do find it a bit slow to use, to do anything on it seems long winded and more complicated than it needs to be. It does have very good trackers with dash cam though which has come in useful several times.

Also find it glitches often and our outfield staff find it hard to use and it...

Worcester Bosch Greenstar Regular Boiler - Always ON Discussion Thread

Morning all,

I've noticed very recently that our Worcester Bosch Boiler is constantly ON and making a fair bit of noise.

The flame is not on, but certainly sounds like the pump is running, AND the water temperature does seem high considering we've not had any demand for it for a good 48hrs or so. Boiler is a 40cdi Greenstar Regular, Setup CH only and an unvented cylinder.

I recorded a video to help describe what...
