The Stuart Turner Monsoon is designed to fit to 22mm pipework - mine is 15mm. Is it OK to connect it to 15mm? I'm looking at the 2 Bar twin pump

I've had 5 Salamander Pumps in the past 7 years. I got the original from Screwfix and wwhen I take it back they simply replace it FOC. Previously the pumps just packed up - one evidently had a broken bearing. The last time, I upgraded from the CT50 to the CT75 in case the CT50 wasn't man enough...

How do I check/fix a flow sensor issue?

I have a Salamander CT75 supplying two showers and a Bath. Recently the pump has started to stay on after turning off the shower or bath. Repeated turning on and off stops it. Nothing has changed plumbing wise. Is this an indicator of an issue? Cheers Kevin

Out of interest Exedon, is the Stuart Turner 3 Bar a straight swap, plumbing wise, for the Salamader CT50? Could an amateur swap it out?

Do I need an S Flange if the pump is on the floor - 3 feet from the top of the Tank?

I had a Salamander CT50 Pump fitted around 5 years ago to supply a Bath/Shower and an en-suite Shower. It worked fine for 3 years then it started making a racket (probably bearing failure) and I replaced it. The second one lasted just under a year, the third about 6 months and the fourth is now...

Hi Chaps I removed a wooden Curtain rail that was embedded in plaster and some of the plaster came away. It's too small a job to get a plasterer i so I'm going to have a go at it. From experience, I need to add a scratch coat then a 2mm or so finishing coat (thistle?) but as you can see from...

Thanks Oldbuffer. I mis-described it as a Electric Shower, point taken. The new Shower is exactly the same as the previous shower so no problem there. My question has been answers! There is no water tank - the reason I ask about it being mains-fed is that I always understood that only the...

Thanks chaps - so out of interest, does the mains feed all cold water in the house when there's a Combi Boiler?

I am looking to replace a Power Shower at home. It's straight replacement with Power and cold water. The Power is a switch on the consumer unit. My issue is that I can't find an isolator for the cold water feed. The pipe comes out through a tile. The house is new and there are no exposed pipes...

the hollow side goes into the Caliper, there is a threaded shaft with a ball on the end then rests inside the piston. when the shaft is rotated by the Caliper motor it moves in and out pushing the piston against the pads. The hollow side is inside the caliper and was full of fluid when it was...

Thanks Harry, there are two of us doing it. The front Discs and Pads were simple but when doing the rears it turned into a bit of a challenge! Still, every problem is the opportunity to learn :)

Mottie Thanks for the quick response. That all makes sense - thanks! Kevin

Hi all While changing brake pads on a Merc A180 I damaged the brake piston so I have one on order. I know how it goes back on but should the rear/hollow of the replacement Piston be filled with fluid first or does the piston fill up when I unclamp the brake fluid pipe? Where does the air in...

Wow - some comprehensive answers - great information. I agree that Ground Source Heat Pumps are possibly the future. Thanks @flameport for the rather obvious :oops: calculation - and yes, it's quite an expensive conversion. I won't be making the change anytime soon. Kevin

Hi Hyporthetical question: If I replaced my Gas CH Boiler with an Electric CH Boiler, how much would my Electric bill be? How do I calculate, using my existing gas usage, how much the equivalent Electric usage would cost? Any pointers would be great, Kevin

Chaps My Gardin has artificial Grass. After a few minutes walking on it if you touch anything metal you get a sizeable shock. My dog yelps everytime he puts his nose on anything. Is it possible to Earth (parden the pun) the lawn or somehow mitigate the static build up? Kevin
