Can alternative plastic fittings, such as FloFit, be used on Hep2o pipe?

I'm wanting to install a concealed thermostatic shower from a combi boiler. Must I install a pump? The one I'm consiering says it needs high pressure.

I'm replacing radiators. As well as thinking about heat output, should I take anyhing else in to account? I actually prefer the look of rounded topped ones (the house is Victorian) and they seem slimmer but the equivalent size with the grilled tops give out higher btu.

Many thanks for these comments. Yes I've submitted the notification. The work is to be carried out and certificated by an electrician. When getting the quotes, there were different opinions about taking it out under the floorboards, our preferred way rather than having plastic casing along the...

I'm adding an ensuite to my groundfloor flat bedroom and would like to lead the ducting under the floor. It's about a 4m run to the external wall. It's an old house with 30cm spare under the boards, the walls are thick but there is an airbrick on the external wall. (The ensuite will be...

I need to lay new waste pipe through a concrete floor but am worried about the central heating pipes run across the channel run (damaging them when breaking through the concrete). Any advice or comments?

Thanks folks. Can't take it through the roof though, it's a ground floor apartment of a 3 storey old terrace. Sounds like I'll have to have something along the top of the bedroom wall going out to the external wall.

Any tips on the easiest way of doing this? The en-suite will be in the centre of the house with no immediate access to outside wall. It is close to a boxed in fireplace / chimney breast though.

I'm looking to install a new en-suite. If I go for an electric shower, am I likely to have fewer problems with pressure? Also is it likely to be cheaper to install? (I'm presuming usage costs would be cheaper running off the combi boiler??)

I'm converting an existing kitchen to a bedroom and thinking of leaving the combi boiler (boxed in) where it is. Is this OK?

I think I've resolved the problem. Some of the holes (There are about 30) that the water comes through into the soap dispenser were clogged. This appeared to limit the amount of water getting through to the drum. It's definitely better since we gave it a brush but we intend pulling the machine...

It is cold fill only. (The Instructions refer to 'Optima Wash system')

I've noticed that after washing, the clothes seem rough/stiff as though the soap hasn't been rinsed out properly, . Although water seems to be coming through via the soap dispenser alright, the water level in the drum appears very low (actually only sufficient to soak the clothes with little to...
