    Apparently Sentinel now do their own Biocide, X700. Don't supose you have used that though so it's effectiveness is unknown :) You make it sound so simple!

    Basin Pedestal

    Unfortunately I can't do this as the bolts anchoring the sink to the wall have no way to adjust vertically. The sink is where the sink is :? Aha ok, thanks, I'll take a look later for these holes!

    Basin Pedestal

    So I fitted the basin to the wall last night using one of the basin fitting kits that involves putting bolts into the wall and hanging the basin from them, similar to this kit; http://www.screwfix.com/p/fischer-basin-fixing-kit/71804 However due to slight misalignment (I guess), the basin...

    Wireless thermostats - a useful extra?

    As others have said, I'm sure it's a costing exercise. Fitting wireless is less work for them (no cable running etc etc) and therefore less cost for them. Of course the unit itself will have a higher cost, but they'll just pass that onto you with a markup anyway... If you are interested to...

    Manky Gunk in F/E Tank!

    Thanks for the detailed response. Sounds like they are both taking features on from the other then. Seems the debris filtering spirovent is actually called a SpiroTrap (the 'vent' only removes air?) and uses the vortex you describe to remove particles, but in the latest version they have...

    Manky Gunk in F/E Tank!

    Aha, cheers for clarifying that, and I guess I'll stick to my manual one then, after all it shouldn't need bleeding THAT often :) I thought that might be the case :( In order for me to connect to the boiler return after the cylinder and central heating and bypass /towel rail connections it...

    Manky Gunk in F/E Tank!

    So if it is slime or crust it will be bacterial? From what you have said I do hope it is neither of those, it didn't seem to smell at all, which I would have thought a bacterial infection would? As you recommend the Fernox AntiBac, is that also the brand you would recommend using as a...

    Manky Gunk in F/E Tank!

    Appologies, I've not actually touched it yet, but the jam-jar did when I was testing the vent. It not a fungus like crust, nor would I class it as slime. Perhaps more of a 'scum'. Like if you left water in a basin that had had a bar of soap in it, or say a sink of washing up water that had...

    Manky Gunk in F/E Tank!

    Ok, the title sums it up really, but here is some background :) Pumped Primary, open-vented system. Indirectly heated DHW. Last year my heating system had issues with various rads not getting warm etc. When I tried to clean the system the water that came out was black, so I ran some X400...

    Wireless thermostats - a useful extra?

    Appologies for the 'mini-hijack' but the site won't let me PM you John. Out of interest what programmable stat did you get? Thanks :)

    Fitting Toilet Battle!

    Supposedly it is an 'Armitage Shanks' Seville bathroom set, which was purchased from B&Q. However as only the box (and the flush push button!) are branded as Armitage Shanks I have my doubts about the suite itself. I'm also having some issues with the sink waste, but that's another story! I...

    Backlit mirror in bathroom - RCD?

    Cheers, is that 'all-in-one' or do I need to get a seperate back box for it? Also I came across another item, wondered if it would be suitable? Item number: 260597793295 on the popular auction site (not sure if links are allowed, but if not mods can remove the link and just leave the number...

    Backlit mirror in bathroom - RCD?

    Cheers. Yeah, it is on the lighting circuit, and it is a no-contact infrared switch type to turn the backlights on or off, but I would just move more comfortable that if it's made of metal, has electrical connections in it, and the kids can touch it in the bathroom, I'll stick it on an RCD :)...

    Backlit mirror in bathroom - RCD?

    I have a heated & LED backlit mirror in my bathroom. Obviously the front is glass, but the back frame is metal. It has an Earth connection, (so is not double isolated), and is connected to the lighting circuit (which runs in the loft space). My CU is one of the old type with the rewirable...
