What pressure is your water? No instead you can run the boiler all day and fill as many baths as you want, the hot water only stops when you turn the tap off I would advise fitting a decent electric shower as a back up to the combi, so if the combi breaks down you still have a hot water source.

I had a 10 hr round trip to Derry to put a analyzer in a boiler, so my sarcastic side came out:) How could you doubt me:eek: To clarify i am talking about two types of installation, the correct way and the fruit loop way, i have only seen the correct way in books(i am not a plumber just a...

To prove i was right all along(:rolleyes:) i have found this: [broken link removed] but be aware that what i have written about boiler warranty's still stands and this is completely different from what i have seen, which is backboilers fitted straight on to the flow and return of a gas boiler...

This is the bit i have a problem with when it comes to fitting a secondary heat source, it's easy for a competent installer because it's simple when you know how, but domestically in general the skills are not there, i can't comment on training for plumbers because i am not a plumber, i am a...

There is no difference in the two, the instructions are a guide on how the boilers should be used, if the boiler is fitted in any other way and it has a negative impact on the boiler either in performance, longevity or safety then that effects warranty, what the manufactures are saying is do it...

The manufactures instruction give information on what the boiler is to be used for as far as the manufactures are concerned, they will also say that any relevant regs should be taken into account and list the regs. If a heating system meets those regs or instructions then there is no problem...

Gas boilers have never been designed (as far as i know) to work with a secondary heat source like a back boiler on the same circuit, they have never been tested or passed to work like this, in the UK which most instructions are taken from, installations of this type wouldn't be attempted, i...

Appliances require the correct injectors to give a steady and stable flame as you know, you may find that closing down the control knob you get something, but i wouldn't be happy with it, by using the hob with the gas you have can lead to a problem and it's the potential hazard that would make...

yes, it's unstable.

Your welcome to your opinion, the perceived risk of working on gas is relative to experience, the more experience you have of things going wrong the more you understand how even the simplest job has a inherent risk, which then leads to a healthy dose of gasman's paranoia. What you see as nanny...

Stick a decent thermometer in the room and look to maintain a suitable temperature, either from your central heating or a secondary heat source ie... a thermostatically controlled oil filled heater, Gary.

As far as i am aware, DGOBS got a life ban for calling someone a idiot.

A filling loop is a device that has been specially designed to connects a heating system to the mains water, it has been designed like this to meet the water regs covering this a connection(). It wouldn't hurt for you to have someone identify to you you're safety valve, so you can see where the...

Setting the pressure in a heating system is only a issue for a sealed system filled from the mains by a filling loop, if you have a tank fed boiler then the tank will replenish any water lost and the reading on the guage will only show the effect of gravity on the water and then as it heats up...

Anything Below 0.9 bar the boiler can lock out, anything over 2.5 bar you're getting to close to the magic number of 3 bar where the safety valve is fully opened and emptying your system water to outside (hopefully), i set the pressure to 1.5 bar but 2 bar wouldn't worry me, Gary.

I would think removing a room stat is a backward step, the reason being is without a room stat you can normally only control the temperature of the water moving around your heating circuit(rads) and not the temperature of the room, if you only want background heat and turn down the boiler stat...

Any fruit loop can take and pass the paper, it's not about the paper it's about staying registered, it will take a bit of time to get things right and professional, the plonkers will get reported for the defects they leave behind them by proper gasmen, they will lose their RGII status and will...

Most of the gas boilers i see are fitted outside of the manufactures instructions, this is because until now gas safety in Ireland has been a bit of a joke(and not a funny one) it's only now that you have to prove competents to work on gas, installers would have their boilers signed off and...

Modern gas boilers are very clean, so the day of dust sheets and Hoovers are pretty much over, the purpose of a service has moved away from scrubbing and towards safety, it's very important to have a boiler serviced to check all the safety components, any water leaks and correct boiler settings...
