spider1 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) Tank already on 'stilts'. How much further do you suggest or is it a case of as high as is reasonably practical ? Stillts is no good it has to be as high as poss. A platform needs to be built from timber running from rafter to rafter . This is not a d. i. y. job building a platform needs to be done right by a joiner as there is a lot of weight in a cold tank full of water. You need a big a cold water tank as poss so invest in a new tank if needed take your plumbers advice. . You will be able to run a shower in your bathroom then / Remember no d.i y. get a plumber As a thought have you been in false roof and made sure tank is filling right up and there is no blockage inside tank were water runs out. If you want luxury put a pump on your shower // OF COURSE THE CURE IS A COMBI BOILER Edited November 20, 2017 by spider1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detetcive Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I bet this has been posted before but this thread is huge so hope its ok to ask again. My boiler has developed two strange symptoms whcih may be linked - can you help? First - the pressure gauge reads zero when the heating's off but when heating comes on, it goes up to normal range. Second after running a bath or shower, the boiler continues to make a noise (guessing its a fan??) long after the water has stopped running. Do any plumbers on here know what might be wrong? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
