Many thanks to all those who replied. I've found a retailer for the Altecnic Prescal 535 http://www.advancedwater.co.uk/prod-014-467-0706.html and will order two for the job. Thanks

Can someone please point me in the direction of a decent pressure reducing valve to reduce a hugely increased water pressure (10 bar) down to a more manageable 2 bar or something. Also, is there anything I should consider other than just cutting the pipe and installing one with compression...

I was thinking about an existing property, perhaps a small house or bungalow on a plot of land where I purchase the property with the intention to demolish and rebuild on the land. My involvement would be to plan it and pay for it ! It is the costs to get someone to do it all I am trying to...

As part of a potential longer term idea to buy land and build my own property, I wonder just how much it could cost to demolish and remove a current building, say an old house or bungalow ? To the uninitiated it seems terribly easy. Secure services away from the works and knock the damn thing...

That makes complete sense to me but it is not the stance of Mira engineers in situ nor on the phone. The burring or other nasty would presumably not be a case with a complete new assembly which Mira put in last time, to supposedly rectify the problem.

I have a Mira 723 on high pressure where the flow piston (see attached image, diagram 13) is chewing up the small O rings on the pointy end. Mira have replaced the complete spindle but it broke again the next day. Now they suggest it might be my water pressure. However, their engineer...

I'm having a little trouble understanding how a pressure equalising valve can operate successfully with a shower. It just seems counter intuitive that a valve which seeks to balance pressure can work in tandem with a temperature gauge whose job is the create imbalance between the hot and cold...

Dulux Decorator Centres was £70.66 for 5 litres. Any better prices ?

Is the Trade Diamond Eggshell really that much better ? Options for me in Sweet Pink are http://dulux.trade-decorating.co.uk/products/info/dulux_trade_diamond_eggshell.jsp or...

Cellar conversion completed or thereabouts and I want to get the paint ordered. I just wonder whether I really need to use a primer or not ? Walls are 12mm MDF with seams covered. Probably using either...

Does such a fan exist ? which can either extract or ventilate depending upon which way it turns. The aperture is in the middle of a 60cm square window which currently has a cord operated manual shutter. Thanks.

I have 2 electric toothbrushes and would like them both to charge from a dual 230v socket. I see millions of 115/230v options but no dual 230v ones. Any ideas ?

Printers are not wi-fi capable so will need to be hard wired. Will have to look at connections and would rather not use any Apple stuff really though I know plenty of tablets are available. Will probably set up in a large hard cover briefcase or similar to allow easy removal so a one to many...

Thanks for the replies and suggestions. The specialism of the printers is that they print not only receipts, which I know could be done on thermal paper via battery powered hand held if required, but the other printer prints laundry and dry cleaning tickets where the paper is highly...

I need to run two small printers from a power source whilst on the road in a van. At present these are 240v regular plug in items but very small and operating only for a few seconds each time they are used. I doubt they drain very much electric either. There is also a touch screen but I am...

Problem is that Econ 7 is not predictable enough with Scottish Power in my region. Every day the time is different, sometimes marginally, sometimes up to an hour different. Either I accept only say 5 hours off peak or I open myself up to potentially an hour or more at peak rates at the...

Thanks Muggles for the very detailed reply.

I really only want one heater in the room. I already have the storage heater (was unused elsewhere). It heats up somewhat in as little as 15 minutes and gets very hot after a little over half an hour. After that it operates as would an oil filled portable radiator. I'd say that even after a...
