A quick update. I took off the back cover for the freezing element, And took a look. I noticed the air vent that runs to the fridge was totally frozen over. So i left the fridge open and took off as much ice as i could. This defrosted it and cleared it up, also cleaned out the drainage hole...

Hey guys. Another one for help. A long time ago i bought a hotpoint WF340 washing machine. It was only used for about 2 months before the flat was made empty due to a fire. Since then the machine has never switched on. (The machine wasnt affected by the fire). So, i checked the fuse...

Apologies, i am adding edits as i am reading the responses. When i took over it a week ago, i called nPower and they cleared the £40 debt for me, and made me a new account, which is due to go onto a Normal monthly E7 tariff. The flat is all electric. Heaters and water. And yup i mean...

Hey Guys. I bought a flat back in 2005 as an investment property. It came with a load of storage heaters and an economy 7 supply. Lounge: Storage + wall mounted (i think the Storage doesnt work) Bedroom 1: Storage Bedroom 2: Wall mount Bedroom 3: Wall mount Hallway: Storage Kitchen...

Hi Guys, just realised. Isnt the double check valve to the right of what i installed (someone called it a standard isolator). It has an arrow on it to show flow direction? If not, i will just get a plumber out - i am easily confused lol.

Hey guys. Sorry i dont get notifications from the site about my threads.. Isnt the thing on the right (of the new tap) of it the double check valve? I am a bit lost???? Is that true, or sarcasm lol? Have i broken regs? if so i would rather not...

Hey guys thanks for your help and explanations. So i embarked on the correction work. I couldnt find my pipe cutter, so bought an adjustable clamp style (i know they are not great but i am an occaisional DIYer lol). I took of the piece of pipe where the Self Cutting tap was fitted, which...

sorry for being a bit dim, am i right in thinking a double check valve is to stop the back flow of liquid? I presume i need this because i shouldnt allow dirty fluid back into a fresh water system? I did consider the T junction, with a washing machine tap.. but i know very little about...

Hey guys. I have an outside tap kits with a self cutting tap kit. Its been installed for some years. For a year it was fine and worked well. But for some reason now water just trickles. I find that as i turn the self cutting tap i hear the hiss of water passing through, it gets higher...

Oh cool. I left the back cover off to see if it comes on. It did. Put the cover on.. so wish me luck!!!

I just spent the day de-icing the whole thing. There was a lot of ice clogged up over time in the vent to the fridge, and around the drainage hole and pretty much every where else. I have finally got it clear. Poured water through the drainage whole to check if it will empty and its fine...

Sorry i hadnt updated the thread in ages. I just came back to the forum for some stuff, so thought i would update. I was ill for 3 years on and off. So finally had a year of no illness :D Knowing me give it a month and i will be back in the dilemma!

Just a quick update. This plan went to pot. Eventually i got ill and the Mrs got angry lol. So no marine tank.. Problem solved.. for another day!

The one that is Safe for bathrooms runs of a shaver plug and is no where near as powerful as the other one :( I did try plug it into a 3 pin shaver plug adapter and using it on the 110 / 220v shaver plug in the bathroom, but it seems to start well, then die quick. Could i do what...

Did this work? I have the same problem with no alarm sounds. Is there any quick way i can defrost the drain?

Hi Guys. Sorry i didnt get any updates for this thread. Then got busy and forgot.. Is this the less powered one? i didnt find it useful enough for me.. i like the deep clean feeling lol. I just read on another forum about this. So getting this transformer unit in the loft, and wiring...

Mark thanks for that :D I did check the wp-450, but its no where near as powerful also with having 2 adults that use it i like it working on cut through stone mode (higher water pressure). Where as the mrs likes the gentle squirt. I will have a look into the FCU thing. As an alternative...

I did try to use it on a shaver plug adapter, but i suspect it doesnt give enough power to it. Its why i am looking for options :D Whats an FCU? Lol i was asking for that, i tried not to use that word, but couldnt describe my OCD in a better way lol. Thats the first one i looked...

Oh yeah, i was still hoping to find away. Its pretty gross to floss at the kitchen sink (i am a bit anal at times). Are there no options?

Hi guys, got a strange one but need a desperate fix. I purchased a Waterpik WP100. Unfortunately it comes fitted with a 3 pin plug the device is rated 230v 45W, unlike its less powerful counterparts made by Waterpik which are 2 pin 110v. In my bathroom, i have the bath tub along the...
