I know these seem like Snake Oil but I bought a similar device from a car boot sale for a couple of quid new/unused. I am an electronics Engineer and very sceptical of all these things. Anyway, I've had it years now and it does work! I'm in a hard water area too!

I believe it is a Prestex 69 but the length is more like 90mm rather than the 75mm this appears to be

But where did U get the internals from?

Hi all, Any ideas whether I can get parts to fix this stop cock from anywhere? Basically I need the head. House was built in the 1970s. I turned it off to do some plumbing and it seized shut. Tried taking it out but it is in such an awkward place, managed to get the nuts undone but there is...

Hi all..... I have a porch with nothing under it (if that makes sense) the roof is felted and the underside clad in UPVC. I got on the roof at the weekend as I wanted to check the seals around the window above. On getting on the roof I noticed that the left.most section in the picture below was...

Hi All, My Ideal Isar HE24 seems to have a weird problem. It works but when hot water is called for & the flow is not fully on the pump cam be heard to ramp up & down continuously. The pressure also them rises & drops with thepump noise. The pressure rise is only a few hundred mbar but...

Hi, Got given the above MacBook Pro. It came with no hard drive. I have put a SSD in but need to install the operating system. I don't have another Mac only a PC. I've asked around and no one I know has any Mac install media. How do I go about installing it? Thanks in advance

I have removed the gearbox several times on a couple of Citroen C3s over the years. Each time the slave cylinder had to be replaced as the seals leaked after removel from the clutch lever. This was obvious before re-fitting as fluid was dripping out the end. I could have ignored it & got some...

When it kicks out the reset light only is lit continuously. With the F3 in, the pump turned up a notch & the heating zone valve head off so that the boiler heats the heating system whether heating or hot water is selected it seems to be working (Famous last words)

The boiler runs fine for quite a while but then kicks out. Radiators getting hot.

Hi all, My elderly parents boiler is playing up. Had a heating Engineer out as it kept doing silly things, various error codes. He replaced the PCB, thermistor and phial. Since then it has been going into reset which I understand means it has overheated. Called the plumber back, he promised to...

What is the L shaped metal rod for on this mitre gauge. I have two bandsaws and both have them and done a search and can't find what they are actually for. Help!

Hi all, I thought I would check the expansion vessel pressure on my sealed heating system. I put a tyre gauge on the vale and no air came out. If I use a pump to inflate the pressure vessel the boiler pressure goes up but I still can't get any pressure reading from the valve. I don't get any...

I can't for the life of me work out how to adjust these hinges on a set of fold out patio doors. Quite old and fitted to my garage but the main opening is now hitting the other door. Help appreciated!!!
