Yes, and I seem to remember a sack of coal, was delivered as an CWT sack. I remember the coalman's lorry, they would have a stack of coal on the back, scales, and a pile of empty sacks. They would pull up, fill and weigh a sackful, then tip down the coal hole. Some would have the coal, ready...

Wouldn't a hand held grinder, fitted with a thin cutting disk be better for that?

Yes, but you are on a much earlier fix of 25%. The later fix is 32% of peak charge.

I don't believe it should be like that, it's acting like a funnel, to wind blown rain.

I would guess at that wide, gaping gap, showing in your first two photos.

I seem to remember when reading the instruction for the instal of my new one some years ago, that it advised pointing it up a few degrees, for best reception.

As you get older, you may miss the ground floor facilities.

I've heard it mentioned several times, that the plastic cased Magnaclean can be troublesome from a leakage point of view, there are other, perhaps more robust versions, from other manufacturers of mag filters. I have an Omega TF1, which I find is effective.

Yep, it's as simple as that! In the controls, will be a mains switching relay, outputting live and neutral to the circulation pump.

Remove the kickboards, and see what's behind?

You will be repeating that again, in another couple of years..

Well then, it's fairly obvious - you apply the probes across the pumps terminals, to see if you get mains voltage at that point, then work back. Removing the chrome bleed screw on the pump, to check for rotation, might be another way to ensure it is running.

You still need to post a picture from further back, so we can appreciate the overall layout, but... That slow stream of water, in heavy rain conditions, looks as if it might flow straight under that lead work.

If you don't already know how to do this, then I would suggest it might be better to leave to someone who does know, rather than risk injury.

Whoops, in which case no problem with a DIY investigation. As above, check the circulation pump.
