Many thanks, I bought two of these, fingers crossed.

Hello, the supplier has just told me that the female threads are "european standard DIN ISO 228 it is similar to the BSP" Looking up "DIN ISO 228" I have found it is also called BSPP. I presume then that I need an adaptor from male BSPP 3/4" to, say, make 3/4" BSP so I can use standard...

I have measured the inside diameter of the female thread it is is around 23.70mm - 23.94mm. What fitting is that would anyone know?

My gas meter is very old, maybe 30-40+ years. the electricity meter is maybe 15 years old. I have been getting very large electricity and gas bills and while reviewing the whole situation I was wondering about how I could check whether the meters are functioning properly. Is there any...

I have a 20" water filter, with two canisters, that apparently uses a 3/4" port. I visited two plumbing supplies shops yesterday and the "standard" BSP (or was it BST) 3/4" male thread does not fit, appears to be too large, but just. The suppliers of the water filter in Germany say that this...

Thank you for your reply. We regenerate the air gap every so often. Right after a refresh is when we get the almost explosive pressures. As time goes on (months) the pressures get smaller and smaller, until the next air gap regeneration. This can be a few months, typically I think we do it 2 or...

Hello I have been using a Megaflo for 17 years now. For those that do not know the Megaflo is a pressurised, steel, hot water cylinder. Internally it has an air gap and when the hot water gets hot and expands, the air inside the megaflo gets compressed. When it heats up there is a significant...

Thank you. I now have a 500W pump and a couple of 20" filters on ebay, I will put the pump straight in at the mains, with an easy to use bypass, followed by the two 20" filters, then the water softener, and then the rest of the house. Currently the water softener alone steals a lot of pressure...

I have just discovered an older thread where I read "if I was an end user I would just buy a Grundfos UPA 15/90 and to hell with the rules :LOL:" Read more: http://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/booster-pump-with-accumulator.301343/#ixzz3wYmWTQfA" I went to look for the Grundfos UPA 15-90 and I...

Ahh thank you - this is the "pressurised tanks" I was referring to. I am now looking at those, there seem to be a few of them, I am making calls to get prices, so I have a bulk park idea what expense to expect. I aim thinking of installing it in the garage or the sauna (both outside the house)...

Hello, my house is fed with a plastic mains water pipe that runs underground for a distance of around 80 metres. The external diameter of this plastic pipe is approx 22mm and the internal diameter is around 15mm. There is a water meter down at the property boundary with the main street. Static...

Of course yes. My neighbour (a few doors up) has done exactly that, applied for a very large extension to a house and also to build a new tripple garage, there is nothing like it around here, the garage has the largest roof I have ever seen on a garage, it dwarfs everything else, and yes, he has...

Thank you for your reply. We bought in 1999, but I know the history of the street quite well. The drives have been this way since the beginning. The neighbour has not ever caused any problems at all, since we have been here, however when we come to sell the house, and most importantly when he...

I have applied to extend my garage's length (sideways as we look at it from the front). The garage was built in the 80s and its back wall sits on the boundary between myself and a very uncooperative neighbour. In other words the back wall of the garage interrupts the fence line. I want to...

OK, because it is "material" it means I need a full application, got it. But I would like them to consider it along side the house extension, which is already approved, because the extended garage fits better the new/proposed house than the existing house. What should I do? Re-apply in full...

Back in spring I applied to have the house extended significantly and its roof raised from 4.8m to 6.3m. That application was approved. In autumn I applied for the detached garage to be extended significantly and a pitched roof to be built over it at a height of 4.5m. That application was also...

There is nothing in the deeds regarding this common drive section (about 4 meters long) and there is nothing in the deeds about party walls on all the boundaries of the properties. Because this situation has been since the beginning (1980s) you are saying that both I, and the neighbours have...

I emailed the planners with draft sketches and had a reply that I need to make a non material appication, which I made today, online, through the planning portal. The new size of the roof is larger and they may ask me for a full application, but it is worth trying, as all other dimensions remain...

I have just sent just an email, to the department, there was no direct email address for the planner on the documents I read. You may be right about the councillors. I have long suspected there must be some connection and a reason why they allow 3 storey monoliths to be built in very prominent...

Hello My neighbour and I share a common drive off the street. The drive is 4-5 meters long and then it spits into a Y. On both sides of the drive facing the street both plots have enough land to have completely separate driveways, but the original builder 40 years ago decided to build...
