    When I say "Scolding" i don't actually mean BOILING i just mean You can't keep your hand under it for more than say 2-5 seconds. I will admit am sensitive to heat (dreading the next few days due to the weather lol) but my wife isn't. She can literally get into an extremely hot bath thats been...

    Sadly, No the shower head was attached still. 90% of it went into the jug as I was holding it close to the head. I Just went and checked and from the cold taps it's about 5-6 seconds. The shower was set to ECO mode (If i put it on full i wouldn't be able to even hold my hands under the shower...

    ty for the vid! Maybe I am wrong but the video seems to be describing a different issue. This video seems to be for people whose shower goes hot and cold without touching any settings. My issue is it's either COLD or Hot. There is no in the middle nm what settings I touch. It doesn change from...

    Purchased a house last year (June) and it had an electric shower. This is the first time I'd ever used an electric shower as my previous house had a mixer tap. The shower has three settings 1: Cold 2: Eco and 3: Max and a temperature knob. I quickly discovered that i couldn't get a good...

    Outside plug - How easy would it be to wire it into a plug socket rather than to a 3 pin plug?

    ty! it's not a spur but not sure what a ring final or radial is sadly so I can't be sure about that one. I'll just do it through a plug then lol ty.

    hi. A few years ago with the help of you lovely people I saved £300 and did my own outside plug. It's been a GOD send. I used one of these or one like that. I wired it in myself to a 3 pin plug, sealing it etc and it's worked fine! However, now i want to add one to the back garden. I was...

    (Kind of a follow up post to my previous post here but you don't have to read it as this is pretty much a standalone question) We Moved in not so long ago and sadly bad luck bit us in the arse hard. My wife became ill and had to give up work and it'll be that way for around 2-3 more years. Ive...
