    No water from bath unless shower turned on

    We had two shower units, both connected to a pump and worked fine. This is in a gravity fed water system. Had the furthest shower (c.4m away from pump & cylinder) changed to a bath. When the bath mixer tap is turned on, no water flows & the pump doesn’t turn on. We now seem to mostly have to...

    Twin Ended Pump?

    I need to improve the pressure in two mixer showers, as gravity is struggling. The house has a large hot water cylinder, and as far as I can tell the cold is on mains and the pressure is good both upstairs and downstairs. So my assumption was that I could add a 3 bar negative single ended...

    Poor Man's Hot Water Recirc. System

    Hello all! Our kitchen sink is a fair distance away from our unvented cylinder, meaning a long wait for hot water, along with the waste it causes. Plumbing in a secondary return the proper way is not an option without major upheaval (plus our old megaflo doesn't have a return tapping). I had...

    Replacement pump outlet wrong size

    I've just replaced a hanyu condensation pump on a dryer but the new outlet is smaller and so the pipe is loose. Feel like I need a rubber sleeve or something. What would an actual plumber fix this with?
