I haven't Rob, I'll google it. My mains water pressure is very good.

Sounds like full scuba to me. Good luck with that mate.

Hi guy's, thanks for that. All shapes, sizes and lid positions but definitely not a full length lid, so that nips that one in the bud. It was worth a look because the prices of the dedicated loft storage tanks (especially the coffin type) get pretty expensive when you get to these capacity's...

Hi all, can this type of cold water storage tank be used to replace black type cold water storage tank in domestic loft. With the obvious mods of course. I ask because I need to upgrade my 50 gallon tank to 100 gallons and these are much easier to find used and can be had at bargain prices. As...

Madrab, thanks mate. That makes it clear. Lots of sound advice here. Appreciate all the help. Dave.

Thanks guy's, the existing tank is 140ltrs. It is definitely only enough for one bath fill at a time, usually takes about 25 mins to refresh.The 3rd bath/shower room is under construction so not actually up and running yet. Seen a 206 ltr indirect vented cylinder on ebay, would that make a dent...

Hugh Jaleak, just googled it and realised that the flanges that I have seen drilled into the side of the tank were in fact Essex flanges. I feel that the Surrey flange is a lot more doable than the Essex. That will sort the shower out. Looking at the info on Essex flanges, the inter web...

Hi Muggles. thanks for your response. I did fit the pump, I have yet to sort the stabilisation for the feeds but didn't know that I was invalidating the warranty. Hi Hugh, thanks for your response, there is no power to the immersion at the moment. I will go away and google the Surrey flange on...

Hi all, I am looking at this shower Mira mode: model number 1.1874.010 it is already pumped for gravity fed systems, but I have recently had a Stuart Turner three bar monsoon pump added to my domestic hot water system. So I have to supply water to the digital mixer pump for the shower before...

Hi all, I am putting in a new soil pipe and have got to the connecting to the existing part and am unsure of the best way to go about it. Could really use some advice. Cheers.

Thanks "Novice".

Hi all, I have had a pipe come apart in my loft over my boiler. The jet of water hit something upstairs causing the rcd to trip before the water got to the boiler. (phew!) The water has pretty much dried up except for behind the control board. And if I look from the front there is water inside...

Looking at your type of window I can see how that would work. When I asked the UPVC window manufacturer (they have to match my existing windows) they asked me for a drawing as there was nothing off the shelf. I don't want the front of the house to look odd because of an unbalanced division. I...

I don't want to risk anybody getting hurt now or in the future. Would another pier of bricks directly behind (on the next skin) with ties between them negate the issues?

I appreciate the input of course, but can't understand why there would be any great strain on the pier. It would definitely need to be fastened to the main structure mechanically, but that doesn't make it a "bad job" It is 2 sides of 8, 6 of which are mechanically fastened to the main structure...
