We’ve been renovating it for a few years. There are things off as there’s a whole other manifold section that isn’t in use yet for an additional floor. So they can be ignored. has it ever worked properly? Not perfectly!

Hey all, so we have UFH on separate manifolds for upstairs and down. however, the pumps seem to take over and either push heat to one or the other. For us to heat up the hot water, we have to do this in the middle of the night when the heating isn’t running. any ideas on how to fix this? thanks! (I’ll post some photos of the system)

Upstairs manifolds

Also in the cupboard

Downstairs manifolds and pump. About 5 metres from the boiler in a cupboard

The boiler. Under the stairs on the ground floor

It was dripping a fair bit. I tightened it but it only slowed it down, not stop it.

Well yes, that would definitely stop it 🤣 that’s why I turned it to that so it wasn’t leaking all night! photos coming shortly

I should add, I tried tightening it and it didn’t help

Hey all, our upstairs UFH isn’t working atm and I’m pretty sure it’s because of this leak. is it easy to sort? Is it a particular washer that I’ll need or will it need new parts?

The house has warmed up and stayed warm! I’ve booked the original plumber to come and do a full service in the new year and flush the system (mostly so I can see him squirm). im going to clean it again in a couple of days and see if it’s got anymore in. thanks again everyone

Pretty sure it’s from installation. When it was first fitted it used to rattle in the pipes and I was told it was normal, but I’m not sure it was
