Ooops. 2 cables, 1 pair of cables per room, each of cable is 4 pair. Either way, it's working nicely now!

Thanks guys. I've done this now and neatened it up a bit (there was also a cover for the box, it was just off for the photo). Internet connection is 4 times faster now which is great. No idea what the previous owners here were doing. You have misunderstood. I mean each room has 2 pairs of...

The box and strips are not branded.

Yeah that's right. The black dropwire is the feed and goes underground to the BT manhole in the street. The white 10pr goes from the garage to the utility cupboard. That grey box just links them together. Thanks, I think this is what I will do. Also means if BT ever take issue then I've not...

When the stop is closed AND the tank/pump bypassed there is no water in the house (kitchen, or otherwise). When the stop is closed, but the tank/pump is not bypassed there is water in the house in all rooms (presumably from the storage tank?). This includes the kitchen tap. When the stop is...

The valve set bypasses the 230L storage tank AND the pump together, rather than just the pump. My main concern is still why the drinking water is coming from this setup too. Surely drinking any water that has stagnated in an open tank is a terrible idea.

Just moved into a property and the plumbing layout doesn't seem to make sense to me. The property is a 4 storey town house built as part of a larger development around 12 years ago. At first glance, it looks like drinking water is fed from the cold water storage. The mains feed enters the...
