Better call Saul Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Not to clued up on these things but there ain't nothing coming through the toilet or taps the pipes look like they are fed from a tank in the loft that looks full but we have a combi boiler and all other taps etc are working fine Any help is much appreciated Ferris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Dan Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Airlocked. If you can attach via a hose from the main cold tap in the kitchen it should shift it. If you’ve enough puff you always try blowing up the cold tap in the bathroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Dan Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Depending on the type of taps you have in the bath and sink, the hot tap is from the mains albeit at a reduced pressure at the taps you maybe able to feed the hot tap into the cold tap which could push the air lock back up to the tank.

Go with Dannie’s idea, but turn your boiler off first to stop the possibility of you from becoming scalded. Either a hose between the 2 taps then turn them on, or if a mixer put your hand over the spout and open both taps or put in the middle position.

This finally worked ..but also had to turn of the water going into the toilet as the water going into the cold tap was feeding into the toilet .. but i then could here it gurgling away and hey presto . Thank you all for your feedback once again . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
