I have worked out a heating/hot water system to need a 35kw boiler but I am not sure which is the one to go for. Has anyone got any suggestions for the best system boiler to go for? The old boiler has the pump internally fitted so obviously it would be easier for this to be the same in the new...

I'm preparing to replace our ageing Myson boiler, and having been put on to Remeha Boilers by a member of this forum, my internet research has been fruitful, and I've been very impressed by the simplicity of the internals, the s/s heat exchanger, the 5 year warranty, the price and comments on...

As the title might suggest, I know diddly squat about plumbing.
Under my kitchen sink, where the main water valve is located, there is a grey plastic pipe connected to one of the metal pipes. This pipe has a small plastic nut and leaver (red) on it which started leaking tonight.
I turned on a...

Hi All.
My system is open vented using an Ideal Mexico RS40 boiler. The pump is a Grundfos UPS 15-45x18 (model A) and is the second one since the system was installed. I'm suspecting the pump has a problem as the full system never gets hot only some radiators, top floor, get hot apart from the...
