For those that are interested here are a few things I found out about salamander pumps: 1. if you ring them up after you buy the pump and register for pumpwise (or is it pumpsure, pumpclever?) - you get an extra year of warranty on the house. something that I unfortunately did NOT do back in...

Update on the pump situation: I turned on the tap and shower in the bathroom to try and force out any possible air bubbles. The pump has now changed from being off to switching for 1-5 seconds, then off for 10-20, then the cycle repeats. Any ideas? It does appear to be that on/off switch...

Hey all. I've got some similar issues with my Salamander CT55 single impeller pump. It was installed 2years and 4 months ago. It's been running perfectly ever since, really (except one time when it wouldn't shut off and I had to switch off the power for a few hours, when I'd plugged it back...

Sounds like I'm being stupid and mistaking the hot and cold supply for the overflow drainage. How certain is it that the blockage is after these appliances? I suppose it's pretty certain, because the sink backs up into the bath, but is putting a litre of sulphuric acid down the drain with no...

Took me long enough! But, here is the inscription: 1/2-20UNF Any clues from that? Cheers Vlad

Hi guys, It was put in place as a room divider, so It isn't covering anything. There are some plug sockets built into it lower down - but nothing higher up, where I want to mount the TV. Cheers

Hi all, Was wondering if anyone had any advice for mounting a TV onto a wooden column as opposed to masonry (which would be ideal but you can't win 'em all). I have a column in my kitchen/diner that the wife wants the TV to be mounted to. The dimensions of this column are roughly 63cm...
