What happens if his machine breaks down ? There musst be a contingency for this as i know people who have bottled oxygen supplied.

When my meter was installed they removed the stopcock altogether !! Just a meter at the bottom of th hole , all my neighbours are the same

Well if too much force is used and stoptap gets sheared off they could argue that it was my fault and try to charge me for it which i would dispute. I know of a sheared stoptap but this was fire brigade so no problem. No personal knowledge of any disputes,just wary.

Having lived in a house with 3 showers off one combi i can vouch that they are better as users end up battling with each other for the supply. I agree about the electric shower reasoning but some customers are not happy with the flowrate from those.

Does the tap outlet have a screw in filter with notches in it ?

Thermostatic showers are supposed to keep the temperature constant irrespective of fluctuations in the hot and cold supplies. If someone turns a tap on elsewhere they reduce temp fluctuations. If you have a combi they are a good idea. If you have a tank based system thy should have seperate...

Aqualisa outlets have a short thread and most of the generic hoses from B&q etc will leak. Get an origional aqualisa or replacement from a plumbers merchant. Take in the old one. Shower heads tend to have standard threads.

Sounds strange , where are the instructions ?

One trick i have used before is where if there is only a stoptap then ask about going to a metered supply. Need to check your usage though, last time i did that there was only one occupant.

Large uncontrolled leak, generally give a good response to that. Had one customer insist i should turn up with a pipe freezer as advised by supplier, not thames in this case but arrived to find full flow out of pipe. 2 nd suggestion bend pipe and hammer over , 3 in old lead available. If i...

I think it depends on the system meeting "spec". I have seen flat with boiler in cupboard with expansion tank immediatley above.No headroom so expansion pipe was about 2 ins above rim of tank. Fine in summer but overpumped in winter when boiler temp was turned up. Should have been a...
