Some help / advise, on a system, cold it's 1 bar, when hot it's 3 bar, it starts to rise from 2 to 3 bar over a short time, a few days, its a combi boiler, unvented, when I release some pressure, when hot, it then goes really low? Like 0.5 bar? The system is from 2008, its a heatline boiler, 15 mm rad pipe work, I cannot see a expansion tank,

[@mohana.6185]

hi your videos I great and really help me. your to go into the thing about the magnetic field and the magnets in the pump. Could you please briefly tell me about it? thank you

[@igy5403]

Hello, I have one question for you, namely, why did the E- sign suddenly appear on my pump? Namely, the pump turned on but did not drive water through the pipes, but the E- sign appeared on the pump Then I turned the thermostat - button on the thermostat to a higher temperature, after which the pump turned off. Then I turned the thermostat - the button on the thermostat back to the same temperature as it was before the problem, and the pump turned on normally - there was no longer an E sign on the screen, but the temperature was 45 C, and now the pump is working normally. I wonder what was wrong or why did it happen that the pump turned on, the sign E- was on it, and not 45 C, but it did not send water through the pipes I sincerely thank you in advance for your reply.

I think it's really important to understand how components in a system in order to fault find better. I'm a vehicle mechanic in the army at the moment and constantly get my new tradesmen to explain components and systems to me so that they know how they work otherwise they are just a fitter. Great job as ever James and you are inspiring me more and more to become a plumber when I leave in a few years.

[@davem3833]

david cross be a gas engineer instead

[@ExtremeShez]

I hope you are successful mate.

[@plumberparts]

Thanks David, no worries!

[@peterryan7827]

Great video again thanks PS loving the bath chair

[@plumberparts]

ha! Thanks dude!

[@ElTelBaby]

Have U done a video on how the internal electrical works on these C.H. pumps I.e Just how they control the speed;... 1 = Slow 2 = Medium 3 = Fast;... How that side works...?

[@joeb6915]

Everyone should touch James’s Bell, then you’ll get a notification when the next educational video is for you youngns, a good insite to new products for us us oldies plus a laugh and that’s what what it’s all About. Happy plumbing people

[@plumberparts]

Haha!

[@FlibbityFlib]

Great video! Your pulling apart and simple explanation of how the pump works allowed me to take one apart, take a look, realise the impeller had seized up thanks to magnetite. I managed to free it with a little elbow grease, as a stop-gap solution before replacing.

[@mr.dahliaking.202]

I bought the cheapest chinese ch pump you can imagine, cause back in a day, when i did my first boiler install back in 2015 i didn't know any better. Pumped fine, until hot water hit it from the boiler, and it stopped pumping. Had to put out a fire with fire extinguisher in cast iron boiler, so not to damage it. The bloody thing stopped spinning, because the impeller is just friction fit on the ceramic shaft, and hot water expanded it and made it larger and it basically stood in place while shaft was spinning. Put in a 100 euro grundfos smart pump and 3 years past, still works wonderfuly. The chinese one went outside to my small pond to circulate water, so to trap mosquito larvae, and keep water clear. Also, cause cold water, worked fine for 3 years. Moral of the story don't buy cheap pumps, it will only give you a headache.

[@ThePoniatowski13]

@plumberparts Is it possible to replace the original pump in combi boiler Ideal for that from the video? I've installed one additional massive radiation on my kitchen and now the 1-2 radiators on the 1st floors are a bit colder than usual.

[@wilbauk]

With the Wilo SB30 for recirculation or in general can the head be removed and replaced upside-down? It will make wiring, fitting and maintenance easier.

[@wilbauk]

That's a very good question William. Yes loosen and remove the two 5mm alan key bolts, reorient the pump head to your liking and reassemble being careful not to over tighten the bolts. It can be helpful in a confined installation. Don't forget observing the manufacturers instructions always ensure the pump itself is aligned correctly.

[@aymanbari2961]

You have taken over bruv hands down m8! “HOLD TIGHT” 💯

[@dermotnangle3648]

Excellent entertaining explanation.

[@qurandawahlive]

In two seconds I said to myself this guy is extremely fun to watch...your so much fun no one would ever get bored man...i havent even gotten a chance to finish watching this..lol because i need to get to errands but ima come back for this later God willing

[@plumberparts]

Haha! Thanks man.

[@odonnghaile]

You probably could do with some Ritalin. Now does it go on the returm or flow? Nice wilo drop at the end mentioning the head and rad count, would have being nice to hear more of the other two

[@slockey]

As usual James, lots of good advice. One thing though, I needed to replace a Grundfiss that it no not in production. Emailed Wilo, weeks ago now, nothing heard. Now Grundfiss were very helpful. Guess which one I have gone for?

[@ExtremeShez]

Where did you get the table from? Make? Looks excellent. Keep up the good work. Love your channel.

[@mikes6844]

Shez Sattar I’ve just had a look on eBay and there is something similar made by Keyter for about £65. It’s these little snippets that help almost as much as the main topic.

[@plumberparts]

Yeah that's the make!

[@MultiOutdoorman]

Go with da flow dude !

[@b00dah1]

This guy is amazing 👍🏾

[@petersutton3054]

Hi m8 great videos I have been looking on KZbin for someone to explain how to do conversation from heat only boilers with cylinder and changing to combi how to go about changing pipework ect can you do something like that would be great.

[@theafamilyvlogs2023]

Love your vlogs. I have subscibed ages ago! I'm an old codger! Just turned 50. Want to become a gas engineer, Am I too old? Got to pay 6 k for training, before I spend it need another opinion. Should have done it 10 years ago, never got round to it!

[@af6727]

Thanks for the video, Where is the gasket exactly? Is it the black rubber surrounding the four screws?

[@itfben]

Need a video on the different settings on a Tio UFH pump 😭

[@getbry7452]

Thanks again for taking the time to make the video. Might have been good to talked briefly about pump turbulence and air separation? I think the Willo has a purge option as well, which you mentioned in an older video you did when swapping out a pump. Loving ya work, dude! 👍 Enjoy bank holiday.

[@plumberparts]

Cheers Bry. Might do an in depth review on that pump actually....people have been asking!

[@paulwright8378]

Do they still require mains pressure water pushing through them or can water just be there an it will still pull an push the water

[@MrPaddy1000111]

Well, I went out and bought one of those tables today, thanks.... haha!

[@plumberparts]

Haha! cool!

[@suerowe53]

Good video...but can you tell me why a central heating pump stays on continuously and how would we turn it off as ours won't turn off! Thanx

[@Captain-Paul]

If you were moving a hot water tank from downstairs to upstairs would you also move the pump upstairs with the hot water tank or leave it downstairs with the boiler in its current location ???

[@markcranmer92]

Also them pumps are great the 8m one i typically use is 180mm in length instead of the usual 130mm as it’s the bigger bad boy

[@kylemierau6367]

wish I was your apprentice

[@garnhamr]

i've got a ups3 (the one with no control button) in my combi boiler. It's got a PWM port with nothing connected to it, so it just runs at full speed. It doesn't seem that there's any PWM function on this boiler so why the PWM pump? Tempting to change the head for one with a button.

[@Ed-fp9rx]

Hi, are the pumps fitted with compression fitting?

[@odyssewsD]

After I saw your video o pumps I bought one will 25/1-6 about a month ago. Worked OK for a month but now is too noisy and keeps running non stop even though my heating is off. can you tell me what might be the problem?

[@glennfryer1539]

Hey James where can I get one of those work tables from !!! Nice video..

[@getbry7452]

Glenn Fryer believe it or not I got my one from B&Q. £49. They are very good and sturdy

[@glennfryer1539]

Dont Get by Get Bry ... cheers bud for the info, much obliged....

[@plumberparts]

Well done Bry!

[@funksoulbrother3620]

Hi. What would happen if the pump was wired the wrong way round i.e. live/neutral reversed? Would it spin "backwards" and if so, what would the symptoms be in the central heating system? Or does it not matter?

[@Benzknees]

What does the 25 bit mean on the pump's name?

[@TrueDJ]

I have a grundfos pump and it set to speed 3 which sounds noisy, could I try it on a lower speed with out causing any serious issues?

[@ronandaly96]

Morpheus shouldn't be a problem. Sometimes having the pump set to 3 could actually be the issue. It's possible the pump is pumping the water too fast. Creates air.

[@TrueDJ]

Ronan Daly thanks for the reply, we recently had a new boiler fitted and when it is heating the hot water it does sound like air going through the boiler, we have a unvented water tank and a oil combi boiler.

[@plumberparts]

Good shout!

[@twiglet2214]

Song goes - I'm reaching out to peoples hearts - i'm reaching out with plumberparts and if you're heating's got the hump then reach out for a Wilo pump,but first to help you win the fight just check that it's not magnetite ! Or could it be the thermostat - for purrfect insight - ask the cat.You're feeling cold and getting number - call plumberparts and bring back summer ! Russell Crowe has made a film about a Roman plumber - it's called Radiator. ( That's not part of the song BTW )

[@lonhowell1]

top job.

[@plumberparts]

Thanks dude!

[@SteveGeoghegan]

Why is Tim Roth presenting a plumbing video?

[@plumberparts]

You mean Bradley Cooper!?

[@SteveGeoghegan]

@@plumberparts I've watched a few of your videos VERY good, completely installed 2 bathrooms successfully on the back of it. So thank you for that. Unfortunately, the compliments end there. It's still Tim Roth, but Tim Roth in Pulp Fiction, not She-Hulk. There. I played nice.

[@klystron1]

thanks for sharing. wilo or grundfos?

[@oojimmyflip]

Grundfos ours is 21 yrs old and still running.

[@francopagliarella]

Hold tight 👍

[@Shandybrother]

which pumps are the best wilo or grundfos?

[@plumberparts]

WILO! They've got some great functions on them!

[@popeyyepop123456789]

Grundfos - no brainer

[@plumberparts]

Slow start after a years dormant? Auto de-air function? Ultra Quiet? GERMAN!? How can it get better!

[@gappuma7883]

I love vilo cheap aswell

[@thewolfydragon1989]

Can tell my landlord is cheap then putting in a "new" fixed pump (and set it to the wrong speed as half radiators didn't get hot until I changed from 1 to 2)

[@davidjones4452]

great singing

[@oliversmith8220]

Can we get chance to win a wilo pump? James? 😁😁

[@plumberparts]

I'll see what I can do! Loads fo people have asked for a quick review on the Wilo pump so might do a mid week cheeky video on it!

[@phillipbull3673]

Is that chair a bath that's been cut in half lol

[@plumberparts]

Yes mate!

[@Chrominance87]

Isn't that a circulator?

[@cerulyse]

Mine won't switch off?

[@davezeraschi7936]

Alright jimmy #alearmy. Can I get one of those tables from your amazon store? Also what’s it called would help me out 🤣🤣 🤘🤘 #fucktheagenda #alearmy.

[@peterhyatt6751]

What’s the difference when a engineer tells me a pump or shunt pump?

[@oojimmyflip]

Do you know what an impeller is mate? 🤣

[@markcroft3619]

the white board can't be seen with that green pen. shame really I want to understand it better. hold tighter

[@plumberparts]

Buying new pens today!

[@arry35boobs14]
