I'm actually replacing it for an old one that needed replacing and this shower is designed to be used with a gravity system.

I'm trying to install an Mira Elite SE electric shower that is gravity fed but the feed has an airlock which I'm not sure how to fix. I've no way to isolate the feed from the tank so I've shut off the mains and emptied the header tank. I did have an airlock on the cold tap too but once I...

I have a Mira Elite QT electric shower and while it's working fine there is noise coming from it that doesn't sound too healthy. As you can hear from the below video there is a loud screech when the shower is turned on I had a look at the brushes and while there is a fair bit of use I don't...

Thanks @Wayners. I had put them tablet dehumidifiers into the kitchen and while it soaks up a lot of moisture I don't think its enough. I did find out my father bought a dehumidifier from Aldi a while ago that is still in the box. I will put that in the kitchen and monitor the wall over the...

The paint in my parents kitchen is falling off the wall and I'm not 100% sure why. Last year there was a lot of mold growth on the interior block walls (ie not an exterior wall) and the paint was falling off the walls. I put this down to the fact my parents refuse to turn on the heating and use...

No Tool Stations in Ireland however this seems to be the same product https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pipestation-15mm-Isolation-Valve-Pack/dp/B06WRQDWNC/

Perfect @terryplumb thanks very much for your advise. It's very much appreciated.

I was a bit confused about this as I couldn't visualise it but then I came across this video were he talks about the end of the fitting isn't flat and would cut into the rubber washer thus causing a leak in the future. Then re-reading your first reply and it all makes sense. Am I correcting in...

I've tried readjusting the flexi hose but it always seems to want to go back to the kink. Guess I am better just to replace the whole hose?

As I'm in Ireland were 1/2" pipes are still the standard it could well be. Just so I understand you correctly you are asking me to loosen the nut at the flexi side and take a photo of that? Or on the pex side?

Installed a new kitchen tap and when I was tightening up the flexible hose to the mains feed I noticed I had put a kink into the hose. I did untighten it but then it started to leak but once I tightened it up again there was no leaks but the kick is there. I've no leaks but should I replace the...

I'm just very much surprised a professional used silicone to fix the toilet. From what I've read online it does seem to hold up but it's not recommended. I would be surprised if it would be allowed on a industrial setting and would likely be flagged on a snag list for a new build no? If a...

A four year old toilet in my parents house had a leak coming from the cistern, had to cut off the wing nuts to see the coupling plate was completely rusted. After cleaning up the area I add a new fixing plate with a new rubber doughnut but once I line it up with the wall I noticed the holes in...

So do you think I would be wasting my money to get survey done on the house? Something similar to the type two survey listed here https://scsi.ie/consumer/property-healthy-check/building-survey/ as I'm wondering is there anything wrong with the structure that I'm not aware of or should I just go...

I've been keeping an eye on letting around the area to get an idea of what rent we could get for the house but the house hasn't been done up in many years (last big change was 15 years ago when all new windows and doors were put in) so I don't think it would get a good return unless there was...

My father owns a house in good location in a small town that has been empty for a few years. He isn't keen on selling it and we are now toying with the idea of refurbishing the house before renting it out. Should I first be looking to get an engineer to carry out a structural survey or should I...
