    Brillant. Just back from holiday and see you've been back on UA-cam last 3weeks. Made my Monday.
    I'll sit back and enjoy the catch up of your videos.
    Nice to see you back. ❤

      No problems mate, I like working on unvented cylinders as they’re fairly easy to drain and work on

      Great idea as I’ve got loads of little bits that I’ve added and would be a good video! Thanks for that idea

    wow that second one was really weird, wonder if the condi pump is drawing water down through the condensate and creating the vacuum?

      It was so strange mate, I may have an update for the next video on this as that really tested me, that was 3 hours in the end
      I’ve heard all sorts from people on instagram as I put a post out asking for people to comment as to why this happens as I have had this before on 1 about a year ago on a combi

    • @douglaughton7626
      @douglaughton7626 8 місяців тому

      I think I agree. The condensate pipe from the boiler must be underneath the waterline. If it is not possible to fasten it so it stays above the water, I would recommend a tundish to keep an air gap.

    Tprv are usually bullet proof, why did it need changed, 9 times out of 10 its the expansion relief that needs changed

    • @snapgas9832
      @snapgas9832  8 місяців тому

      It was leaking when the hot water was put on, faulty temp sensor I’m guessing
      The cold water prv was fine

    How’d you deal with the Worcester condense issue? You took it off and it worked, when putting it back in it stopped faulting out or?

    I’ll currently undergoing a gas entering course and I’ll be fully qualified this may, however I’m worrying about the boiler ban from 2025 on new builds. Will this be a serious impact or will gas engineering still be well and alive as a career choice
