Just a conclusion to the thread. I replaced it today with latest model (Monarch Midi), immediate pressure and all back to normal. I did a manual regen and voila soft water tonight. In this case I was unable to remove the head unit from the tank (as mentioned above), to replace the resin, it...

Thanks for the replies . As stated no flow problems for many years until recently so I presume the existing pipework / hoses are adequate. I've literally taken this thing apart. There are no filters on any pipework apart from one (see below). All pipework is free of obstructions. First thing...

Thanks. I'm busy today but did a regen last night. This mornings shower was immediately hot/cold / hot. I got out bypassed the softener back to mains supply and all was good. Missus then had a shower and all good as well so defo water softener. Will have a look over next few days. Cheers, the...

Hi. We have a Monarch Midi water softener I installed about seven years ago. In the last few months we've noticed hot cold / fluctuations when using either of the two electric showers (not at the same time ) and usually when the washing machine is on or someone flushes the loo. In other words...

Hi..traps are clear . This is the plumbing under the utility sink- ie washing machine waste- spigot? (is that what you mean- apologies if not). Waste pipe through wall and I connected about 3 foot the other side of wall.

Oh yes, the one going up. Would that cause the smells or something weird to happen. Would the traps not still work ?

Under sink plumbing - the smell comes out of either sink. This was how the original was plumbed in so just replicated it using old fittings and a bit of new . This is where I teed it into the waste pipe to the soil stack

Yes Will do see pics

Just before we had a new kitchen fitted (and on ripping out the old one ) I fitted the old kitchen sink in the integral garage. It was a temporary thing but I've decided to keep it as its handy for washing decorating brushes and also when I'm working on the car etc. I plumbed the old sink waste...

It probably wouldn't conform. There's 18 inches of plastic pipe showing, embedded in a concrete slab backing onto a block / brick wall at the garage door end but some jobsworth fitting a smart meter thinks my house will blow up as a result. Corgi didn't pick it up when they checked the whole...

.

Just further and after more googling. SGN quote If SGN dig the trenches £796 +VAT If you dig the trenches £547 +VAT SGN to refit the meter £101 +VAT SGN to refit the meter and reconnect meter outlet pipework £203 +VAT These prices look reasonable and must be kind of subsidised...

Thanks for that, I thought deep down after googling all day that was probably the case. I guess we need to wait to see if these guys report it, what follows from then onwards and take it from there. I'm amazed that isn't a sleeve and was permitted outside in full glare of the sun and the old...

We had a large extension added about 15 years ago. The whole extension had to be piled (built on clay) and a concrete slab added. The old gas meter / cupboard that was previously on the outside wall wasn't touched and is now inside the integral garage of the new extension. The supply is now...
