But what am I to do? He stated that he'd run it in plastic to outside the house cos that's what reg say and therefore I can only assume he's quoted accordingly. Then after install, he says the regs have changed and what he's done complies. I had in the region of 7 or 8 quotes for this...

My feeling is he's genuine. But my concern is that he's run the discharge to waste thing as bit of a cost saver as I screwed him down on price.

His photo is definitely on the Gas Safe Register. Doesn't show a photo of the G3 thing but lists it under the areas he can work on.

My installer says that the regs have very recently changed. Was on a course about it just a couple of weeks ago, apparrently.

Hi, It's definitely a Megoflo. I specifically asked for Megaflo and sure enough, the logo is on the cylinder itself. He's also G3 qualified. I haven't actually seen his ID but the Gas Safe Register says he's G3. Is that sufficient? I don't think he's dodgy. He's very knowledgeable and...

Hi All, I've just had a Megaflo unvented cylinder fitted (airing cupboard) and installer has connected the discharge pipe to the basin waste (in bathroom next to airing cupboard). He cliams the building regs have just been changed to say that this method is now compliant. Anyone here...

I'm also in the same situation. I like the look of the WHS Halo (Rustique) and looked at a couple of samples. But company I'm thinking of using has given me a profile22 sample. It's so much heavier than any other sample I've seen, with really thick metal reinforements in it. So I'm...

What is the tool called for doing them up? Screwfix might have them? Or if all else fails, could I just use an ordinary jubilee clip?

I suppose I could just use the hose off the old unit, but I feel I should get new brand new parts as it's under garantee. Was hoping to get Brisan to come out and do it, but put off with their pay up front approach. They want 125 pounds to visit each shower, yet they only cost 100 pounds...

I'd love to tell him to get on his bike, but in doing so they would keep the money they take at booking stage. I think I will have to fit myself but concerned how to undo the clip. Any tips? Note: the pic above is one of the old units that I replaced. The clip on the hose is slightly...

I've spoken to Bristan. They say they will send out replacement parts for free and then I fit them, or will send an engineer who will fit for me. But they say that if engineer arrives and finds fault is due to bad installation etc. then they will charge 125 pounds per shower. But they want...

Here's a pic: Leaking from where the red arrow points.

Washer is defo in place. Just trying to work out how to up load a pic to show you the leak location.

New update: Both newly fitted showers are leaking out of the bottom of the units. One is only slight, the other is very bad. I've removed covers and run shower to see what's leaking. I can see that water is leaking from the outlet hose just before it fits into the screw in hose (external...

Quick update: I ended up just replacing both faulty showers. Got two from this company: http://www.showerstoyou.co.uk/product_desc.php?id=387&strtitle=Bristan_8.5kw_Electric_Showers__White__Chrome_Finish Good price and efficient service from them. All fitted and working fine now...

Are there any instructions or videos for doing this? Couldn't really see how to remove solenoid valve.

Difficult to replace?

OK I'm at my Mums now. Turns out both showers have got a fault. The one in my Mum's house is leaking water from inside the unit. (It's not the PRD valve). With cover off I can see it's coming from the yellow piece right in the centre of the unit. Any ideas what I need to do...

I called Shower Doctor today and they said same as you (solenoid valve and pcb now available as kit for this model.) Guy I spoke to seemed to think it's more likely to be the pcb, but I think it would be either pcb or solenoid. I'm going over to my Mums tomorrow so will test the solenoid...
