    citric acid from ebay *(powder form). Fill the exchanger with the crystals and add hot water until it starts to come out of the holes. Then heat the unit with a blow torch until it starts to boil. The water will turn green. Let it boil for 10 minutes and then rinse. Repeat until the water colour...

    Bath fluctuating hot water

    I replaced all of the showers in the house with these simple mixers. Cartridges always fail and can be very expensive. I use a continuos water heater for the showers so we tell it what temperature it should be and it will never go higher or lower (flow rate might change)

    Heating circuit loses all water yet can't find the leak

    each radiator (16) can be isolated and drained without having to drain down the system. So there is a drain pipe and valve that comes off the return side so it dumps the water.

    Heating circuit loses all water yet can't find the leak

    i had sound proofed a floor by adding a lot of mass (cement boards and insulation boards and 18mm chipboard from under the floor. I could not hear the gushing water until I went under the floor to inspect. Still, I know the sound insulation is working :-)

    Heating circuit loses all water yet can't find the leak

    Having made some pipe diam changes over the summer I thought it would be a good idea to fill the system and check it, ready for the winter. On filling the circuit I noted that it seemed to be taking longer than usual to fill so checked for leaks and started to refill again. Got the circuit to...

    iMac back up to 1TB SSD drive doesn't work

    whatever software you BUY will be linux...I'll take any bet with you on that. But as you point out, if all you have ever been is a simple user of a simplified system (windows) then you will have zero comprehension of how computers actually work. Its not your fault mind, it was made this way so...

    How do I prepare marine ply base before fitting shower tray?

    Perhaps you should be made aware that marine ply does not mean its waterproof lol If you are not using cement boards or foam boards then you are wasting time, money and will be having problems with leakage and rotting in the near future.

    Soffits - spray paint vs roller?

    I'm spray painting bedrooms at the moment (40 years of roller painting) and the quality of finish is of no comparison (spray is better for me). The preparation time is daunting though but once complete, rooms are covered in no time at all. In any job, preparation and keying are the essential...
