How would it effect the hot water, when all hot feeds come from come only indirectly from the mains ? Wolfboy

Sorry, but what's a strainer? Wolfboy

:?: The instructions for the Boast, (I have ordered it now, no going back) state that mains pressure must be between 1 and 3 Bar. I had my pressure tested at the water meter and it's 8 Bar! I will have to fit a PRV, but knno nothing about them. Are they best fitted directly after Stop Cock...

What's the best way of getting up a section of tounge & groove chip board flooring. Is the only way to use a circular saw with a depth control on the blade. If so can you recommend a model that is reasonably priced but will do a good job. Wolfboy.

Thanks guys, just what I needed to know

As a result of fitting a new bathroom I will be boxing in areas such a soil pipe stack etc. What's the best material to use bearing in mind that I want to tile afterwards. It would be good if I could tile direct, no plastering etc. Thanks Wolfboy

For anyone fitting the Trevi Boost I have checked with the manufacturer and the term 'as close upstream as possible' means as close to Shower Head as possible. Now we know. I intend to fit one over next couple of weeks so will let you know how it goes.

Thanks for all your, I will check upstream bit with the maufactuer. Anyone know a way of checking the mains pressure without using a meter, which I assume would mean spliting the pipe work?

the wording is 'as close upstream as possible' so I guess that's under the batth. Is this the sort of thing? http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=16281&ts=12660

I have been reading the instructions for installing a Trevi Boost shower. It says that it's essential to fit check valves on both hot and cold supplies, to prevent crossflow. It also says to fit as far upstream as possible. What does the Check Valve do, are they talking about preventing...

Please could you check out images for best place to fit hot feed for power shower (Between cylinder and T or just below first T) Or do you need to connect direct to tank. Also picture of pump, there is a service valve in pipe coming out top of pump. Would this be to isolate the feed from...

Did have to install a seperate hot feed from the hot tank. If so did you cut into the tank ot T off the existing pipe work?

Hi, I have been researching showers, and I can across this Trevi Boost, which meant to be better than an electric or just tank pressure. (But no pump needed). Anyone got any comments on how good or bad they are, + connection details. Also I was a bit suprised at the cost of the pumps...

Ok, I found the header tank, it's tucked away behind the coffin tank, it's almost impossible to get to. I noticed that in the airing cupboard, there is a 15mm pipe from the pump with a service valve that goes into the loft, could this be a way of isolating the header tank, when draining the...

Looked at cylinder, cannot see any markings, why do you ask? Wolfboy

Ok will check toinight.. I'm thinking that an electric shower maybe a better solution for me.

What's the worst that can happen, I assume the shower will cut out to avoid scolding? Is there a danger of the pump running dry and being ruined? Also, I can't find the header tank for the central heating, it may be hidden somewhere, or could it have been removed when the coffin tank was...

The existing hot feed is 28mm the shower requires 15mm, will it be ok to use that and reduce down. The tank is 200 L , is that big enough? Regards Wolfboy

I would like to fit a power shower, and have been researching the topic. It seems fairly standard that the cold feed to the shower comes from the cold water tank in the loft. In addition, this feed must be 6cm below the cold water feed to the hot water tank. However, my loft has been...
