    Last question for 2024. As said earlier the hose from the existing fan, it raised from the fan then dropped into a valley then back up over the insulation down to its exit vent in the soffit.

    shower pump pipework

    I know this was many moons ago. But I fail to see if 22mm hoses at the pump are any better than that of 15mm, when both hoses use 12mm bore flexible hoses and the swaged plastic fittings both ends have 8mm bore with further flow restrictions ???

    Shower pump anti-vibration hoses

    I've been advised to change my 15mm x 3/4" pump hoses because they have isolating valves because they not being full bore. Yet if I measure the bores on both the isolating and non-isolating hose they both have 8mm. Advised to change to 22mm x 3/4" hoses, measured a non-isolating hose with a...

Although some say to use a 5:1 mix, I found this leaves the pointing sandy/crumbles so I use a 3:1 or 4:1. For...
