Just checked the adapter there and to be honest it felt actually hot at one side, I've decided to remove it, I don't suppose there's any plug in rcds you know of that are designed for continuous use?

Yeah it is. I assumed having an rcd downstream of the board and immediately protecting the filter pump would add a level of safety?

The filter plug itself seems ok to be fair

I've made a bit of a mess of my reply to your previous question, my reply is part of the quote for some reason

Yeah there's a single rcd for the entire board

Hi all I bought a fish tank for my daughter at the weekend, it has a filter that has to be run constantly. I'm never a big fan of mixing water and electricity so for an added bit of protection I bought an rcd adapter (non branded, just from local supermarket). I noticed tonight that the...

Hi, neighbours work was done approx 2 years ago, I reckon I 1st noticed this debris around 6 months ago maybe.

Hi, struggling to get a clear picture, this is about as good as I can get from ground level. Any ideas what these things are?

I don't think it's been replaced so just painted I think

Fair enough, I suppose I left myself open to that. What I was trying to ask is what actually happens when a roof is reaching the end of its life, is it a case that for some specific reason the whole roof just becomes "done" and needs replacing or is it normally something else where its more...

I'm using water treatment I think (filter booster or something like that), was told in the pet shop that plays are temperate water fish and don't require a heater

Hi, Just putting a couple of platys in it, no heater just the filter

Sorry for the awful picture quality, it's hard to get a clear photo from ground level. Basically for the last few months I have noticed there are 2 "things" on my roof (highlighted in picture), I initially assumed it was something a bird had dropped there but since they haven't moved in months...

Thanks for that, since you seem to know what you're talking about is there any particular pump you'd recommend as being decent? I think the one supplied in this starter kit is a bit cheap and nasty Thanks

Cheers for the reply. My board has an rcd but I'll nip up to screwfix tomorrow and pick up an rcd adapter for a bit of additional protection

Got my daughter a starter kit for fish today, we've set up the tank and filter but the filters fairly noisy, I'm also not entirely comfortable withy fully submerging an electric pump! Does any one know if you can get non electric filters (either battery powered or just passive)? Also does...

I need to replace the cold tap in my bathroom sink. Since I can't get the exact replacement tap I'll have to replace the hot aswell. Should I turn the combi boiler off when I'm draining the hot tap down? I'm thinking that if I don't then as the water drains, the boiler will be trying to heat...

Thanks mate, especially for the photo, that helps. Just checked and my local plumbers merchant is closed until Monday. I'm wary of removing the inserts today incase I can't get the correct replacement and they leak ends up worse when I refit them so I think I'm going to leave as is until the...

Thanks, so are these pretty specific tools I'd need? I'll have a look, I was hoping to get away with some gland pliers and a shifter... I had posted a thread previously where I was told it would be hard to get the replacement insert, I'm going to buy a set of flomaster inserts from screwfix on...
