Cheers baxmax, Exchange rate is good at the moment (5,000 Lao People's Democratic Republic Dolars to the pound at the moment) So i guess its a very cheap job to do :D Cheers mate.

I have a baxi 105he instant that keeps loosing pressure. I have to top up the rads everyday now but to be honest it only takes a quick blast on the filling loop to get presure back up. I did a little investigation today and i have noticed a drip from the pressure release pipe? I am assuming...

Just a quick update and a thankyou to softus for the info. I took the bar mixer back and got the mira power shower. Plumbed it in today and all is working lovely. Cheers softus, I owe you a beer.

Cheers softus, I think i will connect it tomorrow and see just how bad or good it is. I will then decide wether to fit a pump. Would you advise a twin impellar type then rather than a single ? Are the pumped dhowers electricaly heated or do they just pump the hot water from the tank ?

I had a thought, Isnt there some type of shower that has a small pump built into the unit that runs off 12V or something ? I feel this may be the bast way to go considering all this technical stuff. Do these have a cold inlet as well as hot ?

Cheers Gas, What do you mean by the above ? Are you trying to say that what i am attempting is a waste of time ? The guy at the plumbers said that a pump was a waste of time because the hot water tank is only very small (stands around 24" tall) and the flow rate of the pump would mean that i...

i have just fitted a new bathroom suite and installed a low pressure bar mixer shower. I originally thought my boiler was a combi (fitted about 2 years ago) but it is infact a conventional boiler with a hotwater tank. I am now a little concerned with regards the pressure the shower will have...

At least he's still allive then.

Yes the stuff i used was medalion. Good gear but like trazor says, ensure you have prepped the ground.

Not sure if you know what i mean? I know what a bell cast beed is, what im trying to explain is that over the window there is what look like fibre board ( the stuff you use on roofs for the verge) This creates a kind of reveal above the window. Its definatly not a bell cast beed :? at...

I am quite competent when it comes to plastering and rendering but i have often wondered how the effect is atchived above the window ? I dont have a picture to explain but what i mean is, it looks as if a piece of cement board as been used above the window to create a kind of flat underside...

No Its grey T & E

Hi all. My dear old mother has a power shower and i have said i will re vamp her bathroom for her. The system is gravity fed thus the powered shower. i notice the old mira control on the wall has a cable going to it BUT it isnt an electric shower. The cable is very thin 1 mm2 so im assuming...

I hope you are joking. She told me she was meeting you ? Maybe she is having an affair ? Oh **** i knew it was a bad idea posting her piccie. Please tell me you are joking.. :cry:

Hi John, How did you find the wife ? WAS SHE ALL YOU EXPECTED.
