I installed a pump for my shower which seems to be of the same lay out that you have. I bought a Salamander 1.5 bar Pump. It is recommended that 22mm pipe is used to the pump and 15mm from the pump. It was also stated that the shower head needs to at least 18" below the header tank and if not...

Thanks for your reply Joe 90. Does the masonary paint offer the same type of protection as you would get with a sealer? Its a single skimmed wall so am guessing this problem will always pop up every few years. It also gets quite condensated and there is no heating in the conservatory. Will...

Hi all, My mum has had a conservatory up now for about 15 years and the render was falling off on the inside. She has had it stripped back to the brick, (single skin wall )plaster boarded and skimmed. It was also treated on the inside with some kind of bitchumen (excuse spelling) before the...

That last paragraph didnt read right there. I mean painting with as in gloss or satin and not as in a brush or roller!! Jase.

It could also be peeling I believe because it was never painted with primer from new. (Pros correct me if I am wrong here) I have replaced all my skirting boards, architrave and some door frames in my house with new so I have had to sand, apply knot paint, primer, undercoat and then a couple of...

Many thanks all for your replies. I have seen some digital types on the market. They look a bit like room stats so I may research 1 of these. Although there is no comparrison to just cos it doesnt look nice to saving a life!

Thanks for your reply Boileman. Yes I did mean CO instaed of CO2. Silly me!! I have read through the instructions hence why I asked the question on here. Under the section of where to install it states locate at least but no closer than 2 metres from all fuel burning appliances. Do not place...

Hi all, Not too sure if I should of posted this in the Alarms section or here and I am aware that I cant put it in the Gas section. I have a Kidde CO2 Alarm that I have purchased and after reading the instructions it states about installing on to a wall or standing up on a table but no mention...

Dont worry about the wood. It was just a stray bit that was on the side of the wall to hold up the shelving. I pulled that all out to work in the airing cupboard. The pump is on a cut piece of concrete slab which is on a piece of old carpet. Ive no carpets in my house yet as ive been...

You might have to change your pipe lay out slighty around where the Surrey Flange has to go because that will be higher. Also if I am correct as I have done mine this way, when you fit the flange the connection at the side of the flange would be for the pump and the top is for connecting to the...

The Surrey flange is designed to reduce the air going in to the pump. Too much air in to your pump can damage it and void the warranty.

Hi, If you dont get an answer from anyone here you may be able to get the results you need from B&Q's radiator brochure. Thats where I got my information from. Another factor you will have to include is how many of the walls in that room are external, think you have to add 10% for that but...

If when fitting your pump, it was tee'd off from the pipe that supplies the hot water then you will get this problem. Pumps should have there own seperate supply for a shower hence why Andy is asking if you have a Surrey Flange out the top of your tank. I have some photos of my set up if that...

Thanks for the reply. Would the method I chose to detect if air was being drawn in through the vent pipe still prove that this is not the case? I did use a surgical glove to block it off thinking that if too much pressure and eventually the glove would burst but when I inspected it there was...
