    central heating advice sought please

    i`m a plumber so i`ll give it a try, even if a pump is fitted on the flow it could still suck in air via a venturi effect this could be due to the velocity / head of pressure of the water being pushed through the radiator is greater than the static head of the system pressure. i once...

    another household electrical question.

    thanks for the replies, i have been told by an electrician that a surge suppressor is just a gimmick and doesn't help to regulate the voltage 100% of the time, is this right?? The voltage was read on a digital multimeter so the voltage may well of been higher + the boiler is a combi so not...

    another household electrical question.
