*Update* I got an "Access Controller Pro" on eBay, for £300, a bit of a gamble, but works flawlessly. I had to call a number in the USA to register it. I just gave an address from a holiday villa I once used! Very pleased with it, I'm even considering paying a subscription and changing my 2...

My current access system is failing so needs updating. When someone rings my bell at driveway entrance, it calls multiple handheld devices around the house (Ultracom system), I can then buzz the gate to open from the handheld. I'm considering the Ring system, but think I need to add the...

Almost 9 years since your problem, did you manage to fix it? I have the same, and would rather repair than replace.

Thanks for the reply Nick, I did used SBA in the sand/cement mix, but only a small amount. I just used the basic Cempolay self levelling compound, recommended to me by Jewsons. I don't really want a floor other than painted concrete. I guess the Ultra Strong can be poured on top of the...

I have laid a floor in my new concrete shed - the base is about 6 months old. The shed is 2mx3m The base was pretty uneven, so advised by a chap in Jewsons, I made a sand (sharp) and cement mix (1 mixer full, 1.5 bags of Blue circle & water-proofer) to even out the low spots, this covered the...

Hi, did you get around to fitting it?

Makes good sense. Thanks :)

Thanks Daniel, how does this look:

Forgot to mention, I'm having the cylinder custom made locally, so can have any fittings I need in any position.

I'm upgrading a bathroom in a bungalow. It's in an extension a good distance from the main hot water tank. I intend to make the water to the bathroom independent, with a dedicated Economy 7 hot water tank, and a dedicated cold water tank in the loft, both to supply an electronic power shower...

That is interesting, says it works with an open system. I'll get someone in to assess/do it, but did you get a noticible difference, was yours bad before?

Thanks, exactly why I asked. Info I hadn't considered!

I'd like to increase the water pressure at my mothers house. It is a bungalow, with a cold tank in the loft, as high as it can be. Pressure would be 0.2-0.3 bar at the taps. The kitchen has been fitted with a high pressure tap which means warm water is just a dribble (cold is okay, but doesn't...

I have the AF10 coming tomorrow, should I use an inhibitor too, or does this include inhibitor properties, if I need one, I guess any Fernox one should be compatible? Cheers Nads.

Okay, thanks chaps, it's more the smell that my tenant is complaining about. I emptied it and scrubbed out the header. All the water in the main cylinder came out fresh/clean, so is just the header. It does have a lid, the lid is fitting properly. There is a small gap around the filling...
