Diyisfun - when you say "tried", was it successful? How much difference did it make? :?

I recounted my own experience in this earlier post. You may find this helpful. //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=577295#577295 Regards

The website of your water company should tell you. Also you can get a strip of paper to test, from a plumbers merchants.

If you go to here http://www.salamanderpumps.co.uk/Products/Right.htm you can download their installation doc where around page 12 it says "CT50/75 pumps are characterised by high pitched hum or whine" which suggests it's bad if Salamander say that themselves :shock: On the other hand...

Picking up on gas4you's point about noise, I too am in the same situation, and plan to have a 1.5 bar shower pump installed. I've heard that whilst Stuart Turner might be better-made and more robust, the Salamander ones are quite good and are quieter, especially if it's just to pump the shower...

I have read the earlier posts on this topic and just thought I'd add my own experience. I have had one of these for 6 months and it DOES work. BUT, you have to bear in mind that it is a "scale reducer" and not a fully fledged "water softener". Our water is extremely hard, and wherever...

Hi. I'm planning to have a concealed thermostatic mixer shower installed but there are SO many different makes to choose from, all with similar styling! Are there any makes where you'd say "..don't touch them with a barge pole", or any where you'd say "I've fitted loads of these and not a...

It usually says "pop-up blocked" at the bottom left corner of the screen, without the gold bar. BUT when I try to download Flashplayer (eg to view Youtube clips) I do get a message saying I may need to click on a gold bar at the top of the screen. However, the gold bar doesn't appear and I...

No. That is to say I definitely haven't "knowingly" installed one!!

Can anyone help me please. I'm using Windows Explorer 6 with Windows XP and I have disabled pop-up blockers in the Tools menu. However I am still frequently unable to open stuff from the internet and I get the message "pop-up blocked". Is there some other setting I need to change? Thanks.
