    Silencing a Salamander Pump

    I would not take that advise as red, it will need at least 100mm from obstructions but it does not mean that you can box it in the issue as seco intimated it needs free air flow. You can create an attenuator to quieten it which allows air flow but deadens noise but it cannot be enclosed, if...

    Shower Pump

    4 meters of 22mm allows for a lot of water movement hence pump activating, try fitting an nrv to the outlet of the pump on the hot side, I cannot say this will work for sure. Normally this solution is to stop hunting generated from long pipe runs after the pump. As you are aware the only...

    Shower Pump

    Camel with the hump, Richard's questions are perfectly reasonable and I think an appology would be nice as he was only trying to assist. The plumbers that you have spoken too obiously do not have the knowledge that Richard has. For an explaination the flow switches on that pump are...

    Swan neck mixer tap, weeping at base of neck

    They are standard o'rings you should be able to get replacements from a good merchants or even a car showroom. They are round normally so the edge has been flattened with wear, try turning the o'ring so the round edge is on the outside and use Silicone grease on them to lubricate. If you...

    Recommended replacement shower pump

    The cylinders are not always a standard size but are normally 28mm if that is the case then it is as simple as you discribed. I cannot see in the picture as the emmersion electrical cover is in the way but have a look and see if there is a reducer to 22mm or a bush at the top of the cylinder.

    Recommended replacement shower pump

    The New team jetforce is a great pump from durability point of veiw but is is really noisy and as you say expensive, If you are prepared to repipe then do not use the duraspeed or any other NT product as none are continuously rated. Look at the rsp50 as a good quiet pump as long as you are...

    Balancing again!

    I think that you are slightly confused, Ignore heat dissapating just think of even temperature distribition. The idea of balancing is to ensure that you will have a restricted flow through the hottest radiator therefor allowing the c/h pump to be able to distribute the water to radiators that...

    Rubbers for 22mm Essex Flange.

    If the flange is fairly new i.e less than 5 years then you should be able to just tighten it, I would not have thought it would need new washers. if you need new washers go to decent plumbers merchant they should have some similar to the originals.

    Ikea sink problem

    This is a cracking idea, is a waterless trap http://www.tapstore.com/acatalog/Senzo-Space-Saving-Trap.html it has a silicone section that forms the seal, have used them myself and they work very well. You can then connect your w/m using a spigot adaptor of some sorts.
