Not unless its damaged

Depends how much money you have. I tend to stick to Bristan as a personal choice Mira are good as well. If you pick a Bristan Shower, tell me what one and what price before you order it. I use an Artisan at home its a chrome bar with on/off one side and temp control the other.

Why import from italy? Im glad you asked that Oilman. I was going to ask but as I couldnt answer the origional question, I thought it best keep my big mouth shut. :lol:

I quite often go out to pubs and use sulphuric acid based drain cleaner its very good I use one big shot to get it clear then the customer uses another litre over the course of a week to clean it. It saves a lot of disruption. Make sure the trap is clean first and stand back coz it takes...

Boiler pressure gauge is for central heating circuit only. It has no relevance to the water pressure in your taps You need to put a pressure test gauge on the end of the tap to find out your answer. You can get some great showers that work from 0.2 to 5 or 6 Bar by the way.

it depends on the style of pan to how they fill up and drain away, this sounds quite normal. :)

thermocoupling

In the attic is a big tank check to see if the ball valve is stuck try giving it a wiggle, while your there have a look in the small tank (Im guessing you have a vented boiler) if there is water in this tank then your central heating will be OK.

I normaly just give the pipe a quick twist with emery tape. Well it fills me with confidence and I havn't had one go yet.

it may say that. But im not risking my head, not to mention the stonking great fine I will get if the water board in there infinite wisdom say I cant do that. I think I read somewhere that the fine for getting it wrong was £2000.00 11 years ago. As far as im concerned you cant pump...

Are you sure you have low pressure. Or a low flow rate. If as I suspect you have a low flow rate then a mixer shower can still work. I say this because a combi heats up your cold mains as its used so in theory it should be the same pressure as your cold. Stick your finger under the tap...

oooooooo risky business thats why we are insured me thinks. drain it down and play with it safetly. The valves have been known to completely fall apart

you cant have a pump, its illegal to pump mains water. :cry:

You need to check with your supplier to find out the working pressure of the mixer. Bath shower mixers have a minimum working pressure, if you have bought the high pressure model then an exhange will be probably be your best way out.

Dont over do the silicon! you may need to get it off the wall one day. Try and keep it near the top, so you can get a knife down there and cut the silicon away.

its usually system design if perhaps the pump was put on the return pipe origionally you can draw air into the system from the vent pipe.(not always though) silly question but is the pump on the right way round? or if the vent pipe was put in a bad position it will draw air when the...

as a general rule you get what you pay for the diy centres can have great deals going on, nothing wrong with them but the quality of the bath and fittings is low. I have a £175.00 shell style suite in my bathroom from a diy store its been in for 5 years no problems.

did you drain the tank to do this job, you could have an air lock. Open the cold tap in the basin and blow up the bath tap if you can, Dont Drown Yourself Though. :)

Open vented is as the name suggests open to the atmospere unless you have a water leak sealant will have no effect.

you can use a basin mounting bracket. Lip it over the top where it dips in the middle or a few dabs of sealant usually does the job for me
