Thanks for the reply guys, Am i right in thinking the new tank will take the mains feed & ballcock and the second (existing) will have the draw offs (allready in place). I then join the two at low level with 28mm pipework. How do i control the level of water in the second tank, do i fit a...

Sorry can,t resist this one, Seahawk is not only a leading authority on electrical matters but it seems he is also an expert on criminal law!!!!! Commiting a criminal offence does not always mean it is an arrestable offence :wink: Insulated handcuffs! now thats an idea.

Your a very brave man for two reasons 1. Even attempt what you propose to do :shock: 2. To post a question like that!!!!!! I,m not an electrician but these guys are, and the majority are the dogs ********, they know there stuff so dont be offended when you read some of the replies...

thanx for that slippy, works out at around £36.00, just as a note of interest I found out that The Plumb Centre (recommended by danfoss) still sock the old mechanical 24 hr job £50.00 :?

Just read the majority of posts and replies regarding overheating shower switches. I,ve got a triton bewitch 10.5kw unit, supplied by 10mm T&E over a run of 10mtrs clipped to joists avoiding any insulation material. At the CU it is protected by a 50amp mcb on rcd side. The supply terminated...

Thanks guys for your detailed replies I now understand. I,ll let her use the lawnmower next ! :D

Hi all Please help, got a nice new split load rcd protected cu. Over the weekend my wife was using the dreaded hedge trimmers and cut through the cable, bit of a spark but she was ok, my main concern is that the rcd side of the board didnt cut the juice! all the sockets are on the protected...
