i imagine so, its the obvious thing to do if you dont know they should have special types. major failure of design i think

oh no! i suddenly realised that my consumer units are all located under a potential water source. I was that alarmed, i felt the need to don a shiny hard hat tut and shake my head in disgust. now, where should i relocate my consumer units so that a leak in the roof cant possibly affect my...

Hi, I have a raft built house, 1950s brick construction on clay soil, floorboards and about 12" void between the floorboards and concrete raft. The damp course is 2 courses above ground level at least all the way round, airbricks are fitted all the way round too. I have problems with...

this is the valve in question http://www.pegleryorkshire.co.uk/EN/ProductDetails/Regulations?Id=14c6cece-cffc-4d38-bf02-89c61153be20&Rid=e4841a07-fde8-485a-8724-5fe0bd419bb3&d=0 i think screw down valves are a bit old fashioned and take them out where i can

I cant think of anything that should need it, no bath, just a shower, basin, toilet, kitchen sink washing machine and dishwasher cobmi boiler so no stored water anywhere i dont mind fitting one, but dont want to reduce the flow, which was the reason for fitting the full bore jobbie in the...

well, i have a pegler full bore lever valve and the water board said its illegal and needs a non-return valve, thats why I thought it was a bit odd, the outside tap has got a non-return, was always under the impression that outside taps needed them but not much else.

Hi, does anyone know the requirements or know a link to the requirements that the main stop tap needs to meet, non-return valves etc? I have had a look but cant find anything official thanks :)

i bet that the armour is cut back well behind the back box and just the centre is brought through, the backbox isnt earthed either, but its probably glanded off at the garage end with it being 4mm, its probably on its own breaker and its at the height of the other sockets just to keep it...

I understand they base past useage on a 7 days use with the new meter, so far, i seem to be using around 10kwh a day, if that averages over 7 days, its been wrong for some time, so should be in for a big refund. even still, i shall be a bit careful with what I use when the new meter goes in...

and its not likely that i will have my air conditioning running 24/7 on 16c, while washing and drying everything in the house that moves on a 90c cycle with 9kw of heaters in the shed, and taking 3 hour showers either :D

well, i told both suppliers about it when I decided it was faulty and they said it wasnt likely to be faulty and my usage has steadily risen over the 5 years the meter has been in, they blamed that on me buying more appliances. I dont know when the meter went faulty, it looks like it...

Its definitely the meter at fault, the display has gone blank and the LED has stopped flashing, just got to work out how to get my money back now!

always looks like overpriced tat for gullible people. at a time everyone wants standardisation, apple make things that are designed not to work with other things

why do apple feel the need to redesign things that have worked perfectly well for years? this is why I dont buy apple products

thanks, simon, the brultech one looks interesting. really, i was asking about the meter rather than anything else, with a load of 0a, the meter is still clocking up usage.

Hi, i have a Bosch washer dryer, when its drying, it recently has started to steam excessively through the soap drawer to the point that the floor in front is wet, any ideas what i should check? thanks :)

well at least it was typically non-constructive

it was me

they want £50 up front, so i thought it would be easier to be certain in my own mind before i have to dismantle the kitchen for them to fit a meter, to then remove it and replace the faulty one a month later this is the device im looking at...

thats what i thought, the ones i have at work are several thousands to buy, was just hoping of something cheap and cheerful using the pc as the datalogger. im just gonna get one of those owl jobbies, you can set the voltage on it, hopefully its fairly stable here, im next to the substation...
