The plumber who came over thought the same thing to begin with but after testing and emptying out the cylinder, (to no avail) he advised the pump.

I want to increase the preassure of just the hot water. It's a standard hot water and central heating system with a big 50 gallon cold water tank in the loft and a hot water cylinder on the 1st floor of the house. The bathroom taps (also on the 1st floor) literally dribble water and the...

Hi, I have been told that I need to have a negative head pump installed to increase the preassure of the hot water system in my house. I just wanted to know what the difference is between this type of pump and a positive head pump or a standard water pump and if I could use something else in...

Hi, just reading this post, does anyone have a diagram detailing the best place to put the pump and how to connect it up?

Not sure if this is sarcasm, but you could actually very easily do just that ! There was a case not too long ago about a programmer who wrote a virus which hit hospital computers - needless to say what could have happened, seen as computers control everything from temperature controls to life...

It's not yourself who I'm talking about. to be brutally honest, you were actually very polite and I apprciaed that, it was more the other comments. With regards to the programming, I can see where you're coming from and can appreciate what you say. But myself personally, I would simply reply...

You're right, My apologies to the professionals out there, just not to those who think it's okay to sit there looking down at me without knowing anything about me. Those who think it's fine to say things like I mean who are you to judge me or to tell me what's beyond me? I'd be the first to...

seemed to have touched a few raw nerves out there - I take it it's all the electricians who charge a good 3-5k to rewire a house being told that you don't need to be the brains of britain to rewire a house ? When you buy a newly packaged item, you don't always expect it to not work. Even...

[/url] Thanks for that, although it's not exactly brain surgery, I've managed to rewire the entire house with relative ease at a fraction of the cost of having it done by a 'qulified electrician' and have had it passed by the council's electrician with no problems at all. The whole point...

Hi, my extraction fan in the bathroom does not seem to work. It's not isolated using a 2 pole switch - I know this should be the case but I have not gotten around to fitting one just yet. The positive goes to the positive terminal in the ceiling rose. The Negative goes to the negative...

Hi, not sure if this post is in the right place but as it's to do with Gas plumbing, I thought this would be the best place for it. I'm renewing the kitchen at the moment and have bought a gas hob and a seperate electric double oven. I bought a rubber pipe for the gas hob which fits into the...

Ahhh yes, that's the other thing, I forgot to mention, the wiring lends itself to a double pole switch rather than a pull switch....

Hi, I've bought myself a 10.5kw Electric shower and have been looking for a double pole switch to isolate it but cannot seem to find anything above a 45A dp switch anywhere? By my calculations, I need something just slightly more powerful than this or will this be sufficient? Many thnaks.

Thanks dude.....

There's only me in the hosue and so I'm fine with that, but just want to make sure that the signal is good enough as the longest co-ax is almost 25 meters long - Just want to make sure that the TV connected to that cable has a good signal reaching it?

Thanks for that, how would I cut the skirting? Is there a special tool which I'd need to do this with?

Brilliant, just wondering if there is any rubber type conduit which fits around corners etc? Trying to get that wire through plastic conduit around 90 degree angles will be problematic? Know of any types of rubber conduit?

Thanks for that - the standard conduit that you get from Wickes is good enough I take it?

Hi, I'm setting up co-ax cables in the cupboard under the stairs in my house so that I can use a co-ax switch to basically send that signal to 1 of 3 rooms. I want this system to work with sky as well but understand that I will need to boost the signal as it goes into the cupboard. 've...

Thanks for that, to be honest, I just want a quick and easy solution, lifting out the old floor boards would be too much trouble for me if I could get away with the plastic sheeting idea? In your opinion, there is no problem with the plastic sheeting in that case?
