Any plumbers out there?

Sorry, that was my typo - the Warmflow website doesn't load!
Try another Trading Standards Officer.

How odd...it loads for me.

My Worcester Combi oil boiler is at least 12 years old and I've never had to repressurise it or adjust it in anyway. Its serviced annually and thats it. (Better not speak too soon though!).

I want a Worcester

I know - its a Gloucester

[Potstubsdustbins]

In one VC in one.

Peanut I have just tried your link still don't load for me but I am a putor flop.

The reason I mention Warmfront is that that is a government sponsered agency installing boilers for pensioners and the like. My inference being that Warmflow have adopted this name in order to be mistaken for Warmfront and thereby gain an advantage in the market.

I am pretty sure your MP would think the same to after all he/she will be a past master at taking advantage.

Did your kit arrive yet?

Colin

[Peanut]

Yes i've got everything....just need to do it now......

According to their Website they've been going for 35yrs. Google Warmflow...you should get something...or maybe i'm just haunted by them!!

[Peanut]

Forgot to ask, as i'm only draining the boiler now how do I add the inhibitor to the rad...I assume I can just drain one rad and inject into that?

[veggiechicken]

Doesn't load for me either Potty so I'm a puter flop too I've been trying off and on all day, and various other connected websites but all I could get was their brochure. Several complaints about the company too but you always get that - rarely does anyone bother to make a positive comment. Its a mystery!

[Potstubsdustbins]

Yes your right about the F1 lets get the main works done and water tight then I will go through the proceedure with you for injecting the inhibitor. Thats the last thing you will do so that you don't waste it if you have to drain down again.

One last piece of advice make sure you have everything you need before you start to strip out the old expansion vessel after all you don't have a van full of kit parked on the drive.

Well its that time of night again the shower & dram do call, catch you all tomorrow.

[Peanut]

Night...thanks for all your help.

[Peanut]

Right....I've made a decision.

Because I only have a Draper adjustable spanner, which i'm not convinced won't slip, a lot, i'm going to hang on until I can either borrow a better one or I give in a buy one.

I saw some, I think, Bahco Spanners? That looked quite nice!


Can you reassure me that by using the boiler for hot water i'm not going to make things any worse, assuming it is only the expansion vessel that's knackered?

Would draining the expansion vessel now and then be of any benefit?

[Potstubsdustbins]

Bahco expensive but very very good professional kit.

No you can use the boiler for hot water no problems. Don't drain the expansion vessel it would be of no benefit.

I stand down now until your ready to go. Then just give me a nudge so that I remember to look out on here for any questions you may have.

Colin

[Peanut]

Thanks a bunch Colin....i'll let you know when I plan to do it.

[Peanut]

Today is D-Day......

I will be doing the deed this evening....fingers crossed please!!!
