    Knee pads

    Hi, I'm looking for some knee pad recommendations by those of you who are wearing them continuously for long periods. I've been using a pair of cheap Vitrex pads for some time now and although they do the job in terms of being cushioning to kneel on, the big problem is that the rear velcro...

    New bottom entry fill valve, very slow fill

    No drop of water this morning and no signs of moisture around the back nut so it looks like that extra 1/2 turn did the trick :-)

    New bottom entry fill valve, very slow fill

    Well the small drop of water was there again this morning so Ive given it a 1/2 turn just to be sure - will check tomorrow but fingers crossed.

    New bottom entry fill valve, very slow fill

    Ok so I get up this morning and think that I better just check that there had been no leaks overnight and I find a small drop of water on the lino, about the size of a 1p piece...grrr. After investigating further, I think there is very slow seepage around the plastic back nut on the bottom of...

    New bottom entry fill valve, very slow fill

    Picked up the Fluidmaster Pro45B this afternoon and I've just finished installing it - works perfectly, 2 mins for a 6ltr fill. The most fiddly part of the install was trying to get the cap off the top to do the recommended flush through prior to final install. One thing I will say is that...

    New bottom entry fill valve, very slow fill

    Thanks for all your replies, much appreciated. Stopped by another plumbers merchants this morning as I've seen the 'Flush Daddy' valves in there before, thought I'd pick their brains as to whether they can only be used with a mains fed cistern and they didn't really know, they said they'd be...

    New bottom entry fill valve, very slow fill

    Many thanks for the quick responses. I haven't repeated the same test with the bucket on the new flexi hose, I just assumed it would be the same but I guess it is something I can double check. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by restrictors but there was nothing else in the pack, just...

    New bottom entry fill valve, very slow fill

    Hi, I’ve fitted a new flush valve and bottom entry fill valve to our toilet cistern this week and now the cistern is taking over 15 mins to fill up after a full flush. We originally had the old style ball valve but when I asked my local plumbing shop for one of these, they said that due to...
