My push button no longer inflates the bellow to activate the flush. I’ve tried reconnecting things but no luck. Is there anything else I can do without replacing whole unit? Thanks

I have underfloor heating system (hall, kitchen, utility) but the hall has stopped working. Are there any checks/troubleshooting I could do to see what the cause might be? Thanks!

hmmm anything’s possible I suppose. Do you mean the in/out pipes. The water is being softened though.

Yes, just did a test on the water. Hard on drinking tap and soft on softened tap. So water is defo soft. Just a really noticeable change to the softened water tasting salty.

Hi, our water started tasting very salty (but we also have separate drining tap), so we did a test and the water is showing as being hard. The salt is going down in the unit. Any idea what could be happening in this situation, I was confused with the water being salty but still testing hard...

Hi All, Our softner has stopped working, i.e. using salt/regenerating. Is there anything a DIYer can check? They are maintenance free so nothing obvious springs to mind... Thanks!

No I don’t have a multimeter.

Yes you are correct also power the storage units as well which are coming on. As you can see from this photo the bottom spur only has switch unless there is a fuse inside.

Hi, my night hot water has stopped working (bottom element on picture). I have done the reset but no luck. Can I replace this thermostat part easily (I assume that’s what it is)? Thanks for help.

Thanks, is there a specific timer you would recommend. I have used this before but wondering if there was a simpler solution?

Hi, I have these heaters in bathroom, but want to limit the time they can be left on eg. Max 5 mins or so ( to prevent them accidentally being left on). Is there something I can fit myself DIY? Thanks.

Hi, bit stuck trying to fix wobble my tap has developed. I have tried tightening the long brass screw underneath but it doesn’t move, not sure if this is because it’s already tight or I can’t get enough leverage due to awkward position. Any thoughts? Is there a specific tool to tighten without...

We have a flat that was built mid-90s. The cold water tank sits above the hwc in the airing cupboard so there isnt a huge amount of gravity but we never had a problem with hot water flow until we changed our taps. The kitchen has a mixer tap, bathroom 1 sink has a mixer tap, and bathroom 2 sink...

Hi. Yes, because I’m not getting the amounts/details off a bill I’m getting them direct from the meter. I take a reading at the start and end of a guests stay. I’ve done this for 2 years so I know exactly what to expect from my bill. Hence why I notice when there’s been high usage from a...

hi I rent a small flat thru Airbnb so bills are included. My last guest, who stayed for a month, has racked up a huge electricity bill specifically on the economy 7 rate. I’ve only had this happen once before in 2 years but it was a much shorter stay so it didn’t bother me. All we have on the...
