i was uncertain about something... I have a brand new 2 bedroom property which has a high pressure water system (tank in loft + hot water cylinder), i.e. the mains water supply coming indoors is underneath the kitchen sink via 22mm pipes and not the standard 15mm. When measuring the pressure...

appreciate all your advice JohnD... You have guided this amateur through a once thought of as 'daunting task'. I have downloaded a few manuals and all seem to coincide with the knowledge acquired from yourself.

oh ok, so you have to isolate the main drinking water tap from the softener system aswell as a garden water tap...cool Does this mean you run a seperate pipe direct from the main supply and split this so that one feeds the drinking tap and the other feeds the garden tap? or is there some other...

cheers John Any tips with plumbing one in, is it a simple case of connecting to the rising main? What pointers can you give with the drain from the softener, where can this be connected? The overflow seems straight forward, but again, any advice on its positioning? i know youve previously...
