Had to back fill my house water system as it had low pressure cause the tank isnt raised up, its
fine for ages then if you have the bath running & the kitchen tap running the pressure goes down
slowly. Bath panel off tis a heavy feckn thing too, join the hot & cold water feeds together then
back fill the hot pipes with cold & then open the taps one at a time.
I will need to fit a hot water pump into the thing feckn plumbers are w@nkers no isolating valves
at the tank it was the only part I didnt fit :mad:
Couple of cans of pipe freeze it will be then fit a pump & isolators. Now I need to look into pumps.pfff

Right first thing to do is check or replace the ball valve in the tank if that is not filling the tank quick enough the level will go down to the connections and it will suck air in and cause an air lock which is why you have to back fill ( i usually hold hand over the end of the mixer tap and turn both sides on, or use a length of hose over the ends of single taps)
if you want valves in the system you can plug the tank out lets with a bung its cheaper and a lot quicker and less stressful than trying to freeze the pipes

but the plugs will not work if the tankcons have luggs on the inside at which point as you have the mains water of to sort the ballvalve just drain the tank and fit the valves
hope this helps any more questions just ask away:)
 
Morning All :D
I am late. I slept in because herself was getting the paper and some shopping for her mother.
It didn't help that I have a very sore neck after yesterday's "adjustment" and a very sore head after last night's excessive drinking. :(
Off to my lads later to wish him a happy 36th Birthday. :)
Have a great day. :D
