hi big burner..i assume part L is a regulation...what year would this have been pased anyone know/ Thanks, Mart.

Im genuinely not sure as i havent actually seen it yet..was just talking to him over the phone about it. If as you say the top of the water tank was full of air surely it would still lose heat a lot quicker than a conventional cylinder? Cheers, Marty.

Ignore earlier post as i wasnt sure what type of system i was referring to. My question is: Shoould there be insulation between the bottom and top tank on a combination cylinder? Logic tells me that it should to prevent heatloss from bottom to top...but the one my da has appears not to...

Hiya, Speaking to the old man this eve about his new place (that i havent seen yet) Anyway he was telling me about his hot water setup that neither of us have seen before. Basically from his description there are two cylinders stacked and both then insulated. The top one is open top and...

Cheers, Yeah i can live without the bath/sink functionality being on the unit(dont take too many baths!!) so i might just do waht you say and wire a regular timer in before the sink/bath switch. Is there any wireless timers that people have used?? The reason id like this is because id like...

Guys, just wondering if there is such a thing as a timer i can get for my dual immersion that i can set to alternate between bath and sink on my dual element immersiont heater?? Ideally id love one that is remote/rf such as the honeywell central heating room stats. Marty.

Yeah...dont like the dot n dab idea TBH!! Ill try laying it on heavy before notching it out...so anyone able to tell me what notch size trowel for walls????? (have only done a floor and a splashback before and used a 9mm one as advised by the shop) Cheers, Marty

Cheers guys for the tips...to be honest i pretty much know a skim would help and that big tiles wont!!(but they are bought now!!) Anyways dont have the time/cash to get the walls skimmed. What i was really asking was "how to apply extra adhesive"...do i lash it on and smoothen it with the flat...

Have done a bit of tiling and have the basics Ok. I am about to tile the bathroom with largish tiles...300*450mm and the walls are not the straightest as its quite an old house. Any tips for tackling this?...would using a deeper trowel help??..i have a 9mm one i used for tiling kitchen floor...

Cheers roughcaster...ill get a bag of bonding and build it up with that and ill get a lad to skim it the weekend for me. Many thans, Marty.

Hiya, Last night i raised the height of an old chimney breast by 2 foot. Basically its a 3 foot wide chimney breast that i am recessing a cooker into...i raised the height so it could comfortably house the extractor) Now..it is of block construction and i want to plaster the new bit of...

Softus...your input is useless. And i really dont think you are capable of doing much more than trolling here. Ive read your posts...only a day or so ago you told someone they must drain their whole heating system to replace a rad valve!! And as for yor crap about rising damp a while back...

You are unbelievable... So you think its not possible to use a multimeter to measure current then??...ill show you how if you like. I have used a clamp meter but as i dont live under the same roof as my old man anymore i dont have easy access to it anymore, nor do i know if he still has it...

Softus..i AM a qualified electronic engineer....dont work as one anymore...havent worked in that industry in 9 years. And just for the record i have actually never used a clamp meter through college or work...my old man used to have one and its the only one ive ever actually seen in use...so...

Softus: My guess was an educated one!!...and i was right...:-) John...ive no clamp meter anymore...pity be handy for this...could use the multimeter to check current if it comes to it. Ill check the resistance of the elements tonight but that aint going to tell me much other than one is...

cheers guys...kinda guessed it would only be one at a time. Its EXACTLY the same as the one in the link i attached...same make and all. Havent put a meter on it to measure the current draw but have watched the meter and it seems to spin faster when sink is selected which initially drew me to...

yeah ive a multimeter...im an electronic engineer so no worries working with leccy ie :-) My element is the V same as the one here.......2 elements i reckon as there are 4 wires...can someone answer me whether or not both should be on when batch is selected or just the longer one...

Hi guys, As above only heating top half of tank when either on bath or sink. I watched the meter spinning and it would appear that when on sink there is a higher current draw...now its been like this since i moved in 3 years ago but only getting around to solving it now...any ideas?? Ive...

Cheers guys..good tip on that G4U...only read about that today to prevent stagnation...i had previously fitted 4 tanks in the attic and had not taken this into consideration!!...however on removing them this evening i realised i had fitted them correctly more by accident than design though...

Oh well...i fitted it this evening!! I take it if the flow is rubbish(which mine is in the attic...filling for well over an hour now and not really getting far fast!!)...the bigger tank i need?? Only 2 of us living here...one bath and shower combined and a toilet...what would be the norm to...
