It is a B&Q showerhead, and it says it is suitable for all Electric showers. But it must of restricted the flow to much??????

I have been suffering from lower pressure on a Gainsbourgh 965 electric Shower. So I decided to change the shower head. Everything was going smoothly, pressure 100 times better until...... 3 mins in from using the new shower head the pressure drops and water starts firing out of the back of the...

I suffered from this problem too, its very annoying! In the end I replaced the loo with a cistern which is enclosed inside a unit. A bit of an expensive way of getting rid of a problem but it works! I did read somewhere on the internet that you can empty the cistern and wax the inside. What...

So if I get 4 litres a minute that is the norm for a 9.5kw shower?? Would a smaller shower head help?

It put 4 litres of water in the bucket at normal shower temperture. Would a power shower be my solution???? I have seen one that delivers 14 litres per minute, but it raise these questions 1.Do power showers still feed off just the cold feed(because thats the only pipe going to the...

Is this 4 litres per minute heated? or on cold?

Even with the power off running cold the flow is still severly restricted. (Same with shower head removed) Will a 10.5kw rated shower give me more flow?????? Or am I wasting my time??

I have just had a new shower (professionally) fitted. It's a Gainsbourgh 9.5kw. (model 965sdl) The flow rate is pathetic, the temp knob has to be turned almost completley to the highest heat position to get the correct heat and this makes the water flow really really bad. It replaced...

Yep, that end gets hot first

I've read somewhere that a TRV fitted at the wrong end of a rad can make it noisy????? I have a rad in the bedroom which has started making a deep metallic clunk. There is a rapid burst of these clunks when the radiator very first kicks in (long before it could be effected by expansion due to...

After following ChrisR's advice by pushing the pipe into the fitting, then loosening the screw a little, pulling the pipe and then tightening the fitting, I've had a dry night (sound like a 5yr old bedwetter :P ) and the leak seems to have stopped. Fingers crossed it stays OK. Whilst spending...

They where corgi registered......why is what they did a big no-no?

I'm still having problems. The joint looks like this...is this a new or old type http://www.screwfix.com/prods/74470/Plumbing/Push-Fit-Fittings/JG-Speedfit-Equal-Tee-15mm-5Pk

Thanks for the advice ChrisR.....it's back into the loft to give that a try. Can I just ask, is it the norm to use plastic piping in CH systems? Is it just as good as traditional copper?

Hi Chris, cheers for the response The pipes are grey with Hep2o written on them. The Joints are white, can't see any writing except maybe a sp on top can't quite see?

I had my central heating fitted over a year ago. They fitted plastic piping and jointing in the loft, which I wasn't sure about but they said it's stronger and more frost resistant than traditional copper.(Piping had to go in loft due to bugalow with concrete floors) Anyway, now one of these...

I thought this was easy...then I read some of the posts in this forum. I have just installed a cooker Hood.I want to add a single socket to the ring circuit to run it. I live in a bungalow so I was going to put the socket in the loft directly above it, drill a hole in the ceiling then plug it...

Thanks :D

Hi, I need to replace the hot water tap in my bathroom. It is fed from a combi boiler. Obviously I need to turn of the cold water feed coming into the house, but knowing very little about boilers, I'm a little bit concerned about getting an air lock in the system when I turn the water back on...

To be honest JohnD, I think b&q don't know what theyre talking about. I think it is just a vented type(to outside) then the fact that the outlet is in the chimney is not a problem because the air will vent straight into the PVC tubing. You right, I think recirculation is a bit of a waste of time.
