Hi Boilerman2 Thanks for your reply. In the last 48 hours I have run 2 full regenerations and there has been no water in the bin at all during these. So there seems to be a fault with the filling of the bin. Otherwise the regeneration processes seems to run normally to the end. We spoke to...

Hi there, I have a Monarch Midi Water Softener installed since 2009. In the last 6 weeks since we came back from 2 weeks holiday it has not auto-regenerated. We noticed the water getting harder and the softener wasn't using any salt. Today I emptied out all the salt to ensure it wasn't...

Can you help? Last year I had a lot of work on the house plumbing: new bathroom and a water softener added, all functioning fine. However since the work was carried out I have had an irregular pipe noise. It happens the morning after the water softener has regenerated (which happens at 2am)...

I am having a new shower fitted with a pumped shower sited in the loft. The old shower was fed by hot and cold pipes directly from the loft tanks via standard gravity system. My plumber has used plastic stoppers to block the old pipes. Is this a safe and durable method? Or should these pipes be...

Hi Doitall This stack empties to the highest point on the underground drain - I assume that is what is meant to "head of the drain"? so if it is durgo'ed then the next vented stack is lower down the drain We are also at top end of cul de sac so the durgo would be on the highest point of the...

Hi all Thanks for the various feedback. When I wrote AAV I did mean Air Admittance Valve i.e. the generic name for the Durgo. Sorry for any confusion. Whilst putting the Durgo/AAV in would give a slight space advantage and improve look of the bathroom (as it would mean sink is not tight to...

I am refitting my ensuite which currently vents off a stack through the roof. There is a shower, WC and basin all on the same stack. My plumber has suggested fitting a Durgo/AAV and removing the stack to give more space in the bathroom. The AAV would be at around the same height as the basin...
