Hello, Ive recently moved into a new house and have had the whole water system drained down (as ive had to do a few repairs, change radiators...etc). Anyway ive refilled the system and bled where possible...so all radiators, all bleed valves (both in the cupboard next to the hot water...

Yeah il have a look into that. Was hoping there maybe an easier way though, like a different design plug and waste Which would fit the standard bath hole! I thought having a pumpedshower system would be really nice and was keen to get one fitted, however Im now realising I may have to spend...

Lol...ok, what pump the waste line?

Hi. Just installed a bath with a shower mixer tap which ive pumped as our hot and cold feeds to the shower originally were poor. Anyway I've installed a standard bath 50mm waste and is plumbed using 40mm tube into the drain. I've noticed that due to the shower flow the drain is struggling...

hi all, im wanting to replace my mixer shower as my bathroom is getting renovated and am after a mixer shower that has the following... 1) can handle 2 bar pressure from pumped gravity fed system without leaking 2) has to be thermostatic 3) have pipe inlets around 150mm apart what...

so realistically how reliable are these fittings? Say i re-made the pipework where the problems are with new fittings, new pipework etc then tested and all was ok...do they have a typical life expectancy before they fail? Or is it nothing to worry about?

Hi, Need to do some modifications to some polyplumb pipework that has been 'bodged' in my bathroom. What i would like to know is once the polyplumb pipework has been modified, would it be ok to concrete in under the floor? Basically i have a hot an cold feed coming into the bathroom in...

Ok, thanks for the response, thats made things easier...and as you say using tank fed hot and cold the pressure will be balanced!

Hi, Just removed a shower tray from my bathroom to fit a bath. Currently the bathroom toilet and sink cold feeds are mains fed. Both hot and cold feeds for the shower are gravity fed via the cold water tank in the loft and the hot water tank. I believe this to be correct. What i want to know...

good question. i will find out and let you know!

i installed a 2 bar gravity fed pump a couple of nights ago. All is well, the shower now has much better pressure and flow, however i still have 1 issue... When the pump is running the mixer valve on the shower leaks slightly. I stipped it down, cleaned the O rings, re-greased and rebuilt the...

hey! just pulled up the vinyl flooring in my bathroom to find a right mess underneath. We have a double shower tray and no bath. Water has been getting under the vinyl and onto the concrete floor from splashing. Its a right mess. Someone who installed the bathroom suite has simply laid a...

yeah i see what you mean. should be ok. bought all the gear the other night. went for a 2 bar as i works out better. started plumbing it tonight. hopefully if things go well and ive done it right, it should be working very soon!

ok...did a bit more reading last night regarding wiring...so im fairly confident how to wire the pump. i was going to use a surrey flange on the top of the hot water tank to eliminate air. as for the cold water tank size...this is what i need to do tonight to measure the size to work out a...

Hello, New to the forum! Just bought my first house! (well bungalow)! Anyway to cut a long story short in all of our rented accomodation prior to buying, the showers have been rubbish. First place we didnt even have a shower, second was a mains fed 6kw electric (flow rate a trickle in...
