can anyone gove me any adivce on these please. I live in a hard water area and have seen the ones where you wrap a coil round the pipe and this supposedly descales your system. I have been looking on the net and they seem to range on price from £90 to £400 but they sll look the same apart from...

My parents have an old one pipe system , and teh flow to each radiator is in at the top of each rad- some being new rads and some beign old cast iron rads. The return comes out of the bottom opposite corner. They want a new combi in and have been told that the rads will be ok left as they are...

Hello all, Just a query please. Can someone please put my understanding right if they dont mind 1/ a spur can only be taken off a socket that is not already a spur and can only be a maximum of a double socket. 2. a fused spur can be taken from any socket(even if that socket is a spur itself)...
