    Lights dim every day at the same time

    I've often wondered what might have been the cause of this and thought here would be a good place to ask.

    Finally getting around to fitting a shower pump, though just want to check something. I can easily get access to the hot and cold feeds in the airing cupboard (cold is fed from the loft cold water tank, hot from a separated feed from the hot water tank), so I can site the pump at the bottom of...
