Nearly all UK homes will use a central heating pump that is really the heart of the central heating system. Its funstion is to pump the heated water from the boiler, around the heating systems, radiators, hot water coil or both and then return to the boiler to be re-heated. Should a vital component like the pump fail, then all the services that you need will cease. It is therefore imperative to identify a fault, so it is a good idea to call a professional service like East London Plumbers. If the pump has failed, then a new one is required. Before you remove an old pump unit, make sure you know which way the flow i.e. which end the water comes in and which ended flows out, and the user marker pen to label it accordingly. These central heating pumps only rotate in one direction and have a flow arrow marked on the casing to help when the pump is being installed or replaced. Under the lead on the control box there is a screw connector where the electrical power is connected and fed from the central heating control. There could also be a dial or screw which is fitted so that the pump speed can be adjusted manually by you. An East London Plumber can supply and fit new heating parts. The motor when running normally should make almost no discernible noise, although if you put your hand on it, you should be able to feel a slight vibration, which is normal. The large screw situated on top of the pump is almost definately the bleed screw and is fitted to allow the homeowner or a professional plumber to purge any air that may be inside. No central heating pump is able to prime itself, therefore if air was to leak in, the pump would not be able to get rid of the air until it is bled out manually. This can be done by loosening the screw slightly until the hissing sound stops and then tightening the screw back up again.

This term seems a little over the top but, carbon monoxide is a gas that, once inhaled, can cause serious harm and has the potential to cause fatal results. Gas leaks can progress to the production of carbon monoxide in any property. It is reportedly responsible for the deaths around 20 people each year, so its really important to know how to detect a leak, this guide couldmake sure your home stays as safe as possible. An East London Plumber can fit a detector.?Causes of Gas Leaks.Most gas leaks are caused by faults on appliances, or it could be that these appliances have been installed badly. Poor maintenance is another reason.You should always make sure that all gas appliances are installed and regularly serviced by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Gas Leak Detection.As it is both odourless and colourless, carbon monoxide can be difficult to detect.

The domestic central heating pumps are now supplied in a standard type and size, but should the old pump be different, maybe longer than its replacement you could need to fit extra pieces to allow for this difference. Before you go to purchase the new pump it is a good idea to take a note of all the details of the old one, so you get the correct one. Measure the length of the old pump, and the diameter and type of the connections. The majority of domestic pumps use 1?in BSP threaded connections. Also note the type of pump and the setting of its output regulator (domestic pumps are available with different strengths). East London Plumbers can supply and fit new appliances.Method:1). Isolate the electrical supply to the central heating system and pull out the plug.2). Sketch the electrical wiring on the old pump. A good idea is to label each wire. Then disconnect the wires with a screwdriver.3). Shut the isolating valves either side of the pump using the valve handles or an adjustable spanner. If there is no isolating valves drain the system. Place a bowl and towels under the pump ready to catch any water as you remove it. Undo the union nuts holding the pump. Turn them anticlockwise.4). Take out the old pump. An East London Plumber will remove an old pump. Place the new pump in position using the new sealing washers in the unions. Open the isolating valves (or refill the system) and check that the unions are watertight, then, re-connect the wiring.5). Switch on the electrical supply and try the new pump by turning on the central heating system at the programmer or time switch. You may also need to turn up the room thermostat. When the central heating system is running, check that the open safety vent pipe over the feed and expansion cistern does not discharge water when the pump starts or stops.6). If you have to add too much freshwater to the cistern, bleed any air out of the system in order to guard against future corrosion and to protect the new pump.

There are many parts of a domestic plumbing system including inspection chambers and drains that you need to know, just in case that you encounter a blockage at some stage in its life. East London Plumbers work on drains and inspection chambers and know how they are designed.The pipes that make up the waste system that are found underground are known as drains, and there are holes that join the straight runs of those underground pipes (or show the points at which the straight change their direction) and these are known as inspection chambers or manholes.An East London Plumber can find a manhole and knows how to unblock them if required. The main reason for this plumbing design is to allow access should there be an issue such as a blockage in the drainage system. The theory is that the block is more likely to occur at a bend or junction within this system. Should you take off the inspection chamber lid which is marked well so you can find it, you would see that there is a really clean Y shape of a channel, or it may be straight running through. The clue is when you lift the lid and observe backed up waste or even worse the whole manhole is awash, then, of course you have large blockage. When any one of these types of systems blocks there is a health issue for the public, with local authorities quite quick to in some cases send out a team to deal with this problem, with maybe a minimal cost to the owner.The best way is to call them and ask if they would like to make a contribution. They will probably more than willing to assist if the owner is either elderly or infirm.

There is a large percentage of the United Kingdom that suffer from something hard water, with the houses in the south East and the midlands have hard or moderately hard water. The hard water situation occurs due to a very large concentration of minerals such as magnesium and calcium naturally found in the water in these areas. The symptoms can be scale formations on appliances like the kettle and showerhead. It can also stop soap from properly dissolving away. Hard water that is left to dry, perhaps on something like kitchen working surface, leaves a salty crust in its place which is scale when heated.Should scale form in a domestic boiler or hot water cylinder it leaves a layer of insulation which can stop the heating process. This is a waste of effort on the boilers part and creates high fuel consumption. A pipe blockage will also occur eventually. East London Plumbers are trained in this field.You can limit this problem:1). Control the hot water temperature (Scale forms at temperatures higher than 60 degrees C).2). Add scale inhibiting crystals that are suspended in the cold water cylinder, but the crystals require changing on a 6 monthly cycle. An East London Plumber can advise on all installations in your home.3). Costing a lot more would be to install a water softener into the rising water main-beyond the kitchen tap with a branch to a tap outside. The process will still leave hard water for drinking purposes. It would not be worth softening water for use in the garden.4). The last option would be to plumb in something that appears to be high tec, called a magnetic water conditioner. This is plumbed into the rising water main above the main stopcock. Once fitted this piece of equipment will allow water to pass through a magnetic field and in doing so the field will, through a reaction process alter the structure of the scale forming salts. The salts change into fine particles that will flush through the pipes freely instead of forming a blockage. This equipment requires an onboard filter that requires cleaning every 6 months.

As water is heated in a central heating system it will expand, and the expansion has the affect of releasing any trapped air that is present. Any air in a heating system will cause problems for the hot water to move around the system and its radiators. Corrosion in the pipework will release different gases. A good indicator is to feel a radiator. Hot at the bottom but cold at the top indicates an airlock and bleeding will be required. Locate the bleed valves, which are usually at the top corners of a radiator. Sometimes, they are located behind the back of the radiator and obscured, behind a plastic cover. The water that is moving around the system in the radiators is dank and black, therefore it is a good idea to have a cloth ready under the bleed valve when you begin. Heated towel rails for bathrooms usually have their bleed valve at the top corner. Panel radiators with two sides will usually have two bleed valves, one for each of the sides. East London Plumbers bleed systems after a repair or new installation.Place the bleed key on the square head of the valve and undo slowly anticlockwise. The valve only needs a couple of turns to begin releasing the air, so definitely do not remove the block. The air will hiss as it is released. An East London Plumber has the experience to bleed radiators in a central heating system. The water will then rise in the radiator following the air and will start to leak out, (use the cloth) The valve can be closed when you see water. There is a chance that if it is a sealed system it will need a slight re-fill back to 1bar working pressure. If gravity fed enjoy a cup of tea in front of a nice hot radiator.

By fitting the pedestal sink?in the bathroom it can make the room feel bigger and give the impression of more space. This is applicable for small rooms to. They dont give you more storage space than you already have, but it will take up less of the rooms floor space. Their look is quite stylish too. The best option would be to use the white PVC for the pipes rather than the black (ABS) option, if the sink is light in colour. This will give you a better blending in effect even the area is not really seen. The pedestal sink is normally a two-piece unit with a stand (base) and sink. The sink fits to a bracket on the wall and sits on the stand. We will say that the?water supply lines, shut-off valves, and drain pipe have already been plumbed (East London Plumbers can carry out this detailed work). 1). Fix the wall bracket for the sink and make sure it is level.?Place the stand and trial fit the sink on the bracket and its stand. Make any adjustments as required.2). Remove the sink and mark up where the floor bolt is going to be, this connects to the stand.3). Drill a hole and fix the bolt with a nut under the floor or use mortar if needed, then fit the stand.?Connect up the water valves, handles, supply lines, stopper, and drain piece for the sink. Sit the sink on the bracket and stand. 4). Using glue, stick an adaptor coupling with threads to the drain stub pipe.?An East London Plumber is qualified in all aspects of this kind of work.Finally: Fit the plastic trap piece to drain and adaptor on the sink. If required, attach a short piece of PVC pipework to extend through the adapter, now, tighten the trap’s compression nuts to the adapter and drain threads. Re-instate the water supply and check for leaks.
