No, no electrical paperwork at all. I can ask for one, but I think that might be challenging, especially given their installation failed within a few months.

We've recently had a new drive fitted, including outside lighting. The new lights failed within a couple of months so their electrician is coming out again but I've taken another look and the work is not great. They tapped into the existing outdoor lighting circuit that's used over our porch...

The shower specifications list 9l/min at the handset, I'm pretty much getting the maximum flow expected through it now.

Err, guys, I'm getting 8.7l/min now from the hot tap, and 8.4l/min from the shower. Your suggestion of checking for valve that was restricting the boiler was spot on.

I did, that's where the new 8.7l/min figure for the hot water came from.

It was set to 60, it's max is 65.

Oh, interesting. That took me down a rabbit hole of checking combi flow rates, leading me to high flow combis. The Logic 30 should deliver up to 12l/min I believe, although the 8.7l/min we get today isn't bad. Another option would be to refurb the bathroom, using a digital shower where the...

What I'm wondering is whether I can make use of the stored hot water and the combi boiler for the shower, to avoid the problem of my teenage daughter running the shower out of hot water. The stored hot water means I can run a higher flow rate hot shower than the combi alone can supply, and...

Based on this I went and double checked and found one of the valves under the boiler is very stiff and wasn't fully open. After opening that I'm getting 8.7l/min of hot water from the bath tap. I then swapped the high pressure shower head my wife bought for the original Mira one and we're now...

My initial goal is to undertand what I would need for the best possible shower, and just how good that could be. I know the 15mm piping and routing isn't ideal, but there's more flow and pressure available than we're using today, with the hot water being the main limitation in the bathroom...

I did a quick test running the bathroom tap and garden tap together. That gives me 15.9l/min combined, 8.7 from the garden plus 7.2 from the bath. Madrab, to answer your question, the whole house is fed off 15mm. There's a stopcock in the lounge with 22mm coming up from the floor, but it...

Weirdly I had the same kitchen tap running when I saw the drop in pressure yesterday. It's a different time of day, I wonder if we're seeing higher water pressure this morning from the mains supply.

Getting a little over 12l/min from the outside tap. It filled a 2L jug to the brim in 10s.

Ok, more measurements: This morning I'm getting 2.5bar static, and still 2.5bar with both the bath & kitchen tap running. I took flow rates from both taps and we're getting 14.4l/min combined. 3.6l/min from kitchen cold tap and 10.8l/min from bath cold. It seems to me that there's plenty of...

Hey all, I picked up a pressure gauge off Amazon to see what I'm working with. The only tap with an accessible screw thread is the garden tap which possibly isn't ideal, but is located right behind our combi boiler. Static pressure is around 2.3 bar, with the kitchen tap running that drops to...
