His point was made using two characters so its difficult to tell but I suspect he was simply saying you can't tape up the end of a freshly cut cable ?

That's really helpful not just to me but to anyone reading this thread. Thanks so much !

I need to leave a t+e cable in the ceiling void for a few days - no longer. In the past I'd strip the cables, then terminate with wago and wagobox. I'm wondering if I could just tape the end of the cable. Presumably I'd need to at least make sure the live conductor is poking out beyond the...

Thanks a lot for giving such a good answer. Could I ask though, do you think that makes it as "dangerous" as the cheap screwdriver types since they work the same way ?

Yes if you touch with one probe only (the main one) a 240v terminal, it will beep and flash.

When in single pole mode? It has a plastic case so surely there is no way for a circuit to complete as a screwdriver tester would when you touch the metal cap. I should add I'm extremely pleased with it and should have got one years ago instead relying on multimeters or worse those dodgy...

Surely a funnel at least....?

In the past I've always drained down a touch and then added into the FE tank in the loft. Draining a rad seems like another good option especially where there is drain off as part of the rad valve (I assume you can isolate the RAD that way and also drain it cleanly?) The filter seems to provide...

Looks good but can't see how it would pump the stuff in overcoming the pressure from the F/E tank ?

Thanks a lot for that! How long do you reckon is long enough? 5 mins with pump going?

Well I've never had a mag filter before so though I'd try out its features. In the past I've used the header tank but that has its own problems: either wasting water to get the level right down or pouring it straight in which would likely mean a long time before it got mixed properly into the...

Ahh so that Litre is quite a big difference given a lot of the bottles come in litre size. Sounds like I need to get used to closing it so it just stops leaking. Still not sure if you can fill the m8, run the system for a minute or two then top up the filter ?

Just in case anyone gets here before I can write something sensible one urgen question: It seems the filter can only dose around 300ml or so. Not much. So can I refill, reconnect and wait for a minute or two before doing the same thing again to add more inhibitor etc? OR should I wait a good...

Happy Christmas all. Does anyone have any experience of this or other Adey competitors? Given the 28mm Adey one is over £200 this seems like a bargain but is it any good? Oh and a bonus question is can it be fitted to a horizantal section of pipework ...

Right so I'm 98% swayed to follow the advice and do the floor properly first. I dug out some old photos when the new floor went down and back then I stupidly thought using spare loft insulation would be good enough. Given this room was retrofitted years after the garage was built is it quite...
