Is there any way to get around this? Also can a shower pump be added into the system as quite low pressure c...

New House - No CH programmer or Controller - Is a Controller Needed?

Hi All We've recently moved into a new house and there is (not that I can find) a controller for the CH and HW.

Hi all, Finally got around to unstalling this today and once it was all plumbed in I plugged it in to the mains with a 13a plug and tried the shower to make sure all was well. But it wasn't. There was no water coming through at all. I do not even know if the pump was running. Should I have heard som...

I have now a Bristan Duraspeed 70 and it is supplied with flexible hose for connection to the pump and the copper water pipes. Does the water pipe just push into the end at the bottom of the pic?
