Plastic pipes in CH
Hello all you DIY Sages!
I've just dug all the central heating pipes out of my concrete floors in my bungalow ~ the joints were not protected from the cement & were leaking all over the place. I now need to replace them all & was wondering whether or not to use plastic pipes & pushfit connections. Obviously they won't suffer the same fate as soldered copper joints but how do they compare with respect to their performance & reliability? I have also discovered that I have 2 pumps in the heating circuit (11 rads) ~ currently only one is powered, the other looks pretty defunct. How much resistance to the flow of water would this non working pump add? Do you guys think I should whip it out whiilst the system is drained, replace it or leave alone? Thanks for the anticipated help Mike J |
