Hi I need to investigate a blocked drain to see if I can resolve it myself before resorting to calling in a pro, but I can't lift the recessed cover in my garden. I can access the lifting keys no problem, but it won't budge. Two of us have tried lifting and the weight (even with slabs inset)...

beautiful, thanks chaps. Any recommendations on what to use for insulating?

hi all Firstly, forgive my use of terminology which is likely to be wrong - feel free to correct me as i go and hopefully i'll make enough sense to convey my questions properly! We are wanting to redecorate our spare bedroom but before doing so wish to make some repairs to some of the...

apologies for the (2nd) shameless bump All advice gratefully received :oops:

apologies for the shameless bump :oops: All advice gratefully received :D

been spending a bit of time with the pump manual (i didnt install it so to be honest was not too familiar with the instructions) and have read that "all up and over pipework must be vented at the highest point on the outlet of the pump..." Page 1, point 13...

ok, thats helpful. Of the two option you mention which will likely be most cost efficient / produce the better results? I appreciate if that may not be easy to predict. If i were to go with the esp pump, is there a particular model you would recommend? The Salamander range seem fairly...

50 cm to ceiling (false ceiling) then 35 cm to actual ceiling in bathroom. Tank sitting about 10cm above joists in loft. the original bathroom pic shows the false ceiling

pump starts and runs ok, still a little sensitive to changing the temperature and raising up the showerhead. I would suggest there isnt much more than one metre between shower head at normal upper usage position and bottom of cold water tank in loft.

ok, good news is that when i put the shower head into the tray i get a good constant cold flow. So that supports your suggestion. How can i remedy this long term?

sure, right here http://www.salamanderpumps.co.uk/Download/instructions.pdf sorry, thanks for your patience

salamander ct50. Can you explain 'not enough static head'? Would be difficult to change now as shower fully tiled and enclosure installed.

hot to and from pump (horizontal pipes). Right of pic shows pipe dropping down below floor (from pump) to shower

1) No, from tank to pump, pump, down under floor to shower (shown up from floor in pic 1 above). 2) Yes, with good pressure 3) No, not when turned full on cold. Short flow (as described above) when turned on 'cool' (part hot, part cold) then cuts out cutting out pump. Uploading a photo...

ok, how would i identify this and how would i remove it?

to elaborate a little on the problem... If turning the shower on full cold we get nothing but a dribble. If we turn it on 'cool' we get a short flow of good pressure before teh water warms slightly as the cold flow reduces and then cuts out completely (cutting the shower and pump off). The...

ok, here goes... (hope these come out ok) pic 1 Shows cold feed to shower from loft (in old set-up this was taken direct from the tank, now from tank, to pump, back up to loft to join this pipe. Hot comes up from h/w tank via pump pic 2 Cold from tank in loft down to pump in airing...

happy to. What would it be useful to see in particular?

hi, i wonder if someone could offer some advice. We have recently had a new thermostatic mixer shower installed, along with a twin pump. The cold is direct from the the tank in the loft above. Hot to the shower runs just fine, but cold is pretty much just a dribble. It flows for a while...
