We have the 3 bar version of the same pump. After 12years of service it started doing the same thing, but continuously until powered off at the switch for a few seconds. Fitting a (full bore) non-return valve on the outlet pipe fixed the issue.

That metal rod passes through a clip on the side of the float. Pinch the clip together and it's possible to move the float up and down the rod.

This is pretty much the same as what I'm doing with my bathroom refurb, though I'm going to use tile adhesive to bed the tray. Be aware that 12mm Jackoboard probably requires studs at 300mm centres....your's may be wider apart.

Just come to install my 112cm high Geberit frame for my wall hung toilet and discovered its not exactly square. The central welded section which the threaded rods for the bowl screw into isn't square in the frame. To get that level, I have to make the frame's uprights go out of plumb left to...

Hopefully the photo makes it clear what I'm attempting to do. Wall is to extended out to the left of the photo, with new doorway going in. I've already put in the new stud at the right hand edge of the new doorway (I'm actually doubling up on studs as I tend to over engineer). Two sheets of...

I am in the process of widening a room and moving the doorway. The position for the new doorway partly overlaps the existing stud wall and partly overlaps the new section of the wall (still to be constructed). The plasterboard has been completely removed from one side of the wall. On the other...

I am looking to fit a new bath in a different position to the old bath in our ensuite on the first floor. The bath will be parallel to and over a laminated joist. This joist is about 2.0m long and is carried by a I-joist at the end I've uncovered. I suspect the other end is also fixed to an I...

Hi I'm looking to relocate a toilet in an ensuite. This ensuite is adjacent to and shares a soil pipe with another ensuite. Current soil pipe setup is thus. WC2 is the one being moved. Would connecting WC2 into what is currently the dry part of the stack as per diagram below be okay and...

Sadly not. The cap is fitted directly into the top of the branch section so I think cutting the cap is my only option.

Hi I'm hoping someone can confirm that the changes I'm planning to make to my internal soil stack meet regulations. The existing stack has an offset in the floor void of the 1st floor of my property. The upper section leads up to an AAV in the loft. There is a toilet connected to one of the...

That looks just like my shower (though I can't confirm if its a 609). I had same problem of it leaking. You will almost certainly need a replacement thermostatic cartridge. They are easy to fit. You will need to remove the Aquilasa badge (its just stuck on) to get at the screw. The rubber seal...

Scott Burnerman has given good advice. I advise the use of large stainless steel washers under the bolt holes to level the Metsockets - they won't crack/fall apart like plastic shims might. Don't rush setting the metsockets in place - aim to get the posts absolutely vertical so it looks...

Dishwasher model: DWI 710E1 The dishwasher is repeatedly stopping shortly after starting the cycle The lights indicate a 'E2' fault - safety pressostat intervention. According to the manual, the defect can be caused by: - defective pressostat level - difficulty to connect the pump or...

Thanks in advance. I have karndean flooring laid on plywood. There is a step down from this floor along one edge. The flooring bounces at this step, causing the hidden beading on the plastered edge to flex and crack the plaster. I have removed the decorative metal strip to reveal the...

This may turn out to be a long post so please bear with me..... I have a fairly standard (cheapish) apex type shed measuring 6 x 10 feet. I have dismantled it to renovate it as some of the original floor bearers were pretty rotton. I'm now at the point of re-assembling the shed but I...

Thanks everyone for their advice. Job done.

If you are going to replace the Potterton EP2002 controller and you haven't yet done so, my advice would be to replace it with the EP6002. The back plate is the same on both so its a simple swap if the old one isn't faulty. I speak from experience. The EP6002 provides three timed periods per...

Thanks madman. Your advice is pretty much what I expected though I hadn't thought about pulling the RKP fuse. The battery was replaced 18months ago so should be in good working order. I know for sure it is at least holding some charge.
