Thanks very much!

Many thanks for your replies, all the advice is really appreciated. I'm running the pipe work through the loft and as I've already tiled the bathroom (long story), I'm not going to be putting any pipes in the walls, so all the joints would be accessible one way or another. I just need a...

Hi all, I have been reading up on installing an electric shower, but can't find a definitive answer on the use of push-fit connections. I know that it is recommended to use a brass compression fitting when connecting to the shower, but would it be ok if the rest of the pipe work was copper...

Hi all, I have recently installed a single impeller Watermill PR50s which I bought on ebay. I have fitted the pump myself using polyplumb pipes and connections. The pump works fine for about 2 minutes, then splutters and cuts out. It'll keep spluttering and starting and stopping until I...
