I thought it might require that I'll see what I can do thanks !

I have an existing 6 inch aluminium flue liner running up inside an old chimney. It runs up appprox 10 feet to the chimney cowl. (The flue was previously used to vent a gas fired Aga). The chinmey narrows very quickly from the hearth to approx 9 inches wide so it makes installing a...

I've just had a separate pump installed as opposed to a power shower as we have a number of showers to run and the mains pressure generally isnt great. I would say that whilst the water now comes out of the taps in fireman hose fashion the noise is a nuisance. The further you can site it away...

Thanks Richard C. I'm kind of getting used to the whizz now (!) but I'm going to have a bash at reducing the noise with some insulating materials. Failing that I'll stick the guests in the room nearest the airing cupboard! :D

Is it possible to put the pump on a timer so that between say midnight and 6.am its switched off? ie do they inhibit the water flow when they are not working ? Obviously from time to time someone might use the loo and (or!) wash their hands in the middle of the night. etc

I've paid quite a lot ! How can the quality of the installation affect the sound of the pump?

What are the views on the noise issues relating to pumped hot/cold water systems? I'm concerned that the location of the pump on my new system (in airing cupboard next to a bedroom) will cause problems during nightime use. Should the pump be audible across a hall way with the both the...

Many Thanks Thermo. That was the one I was thinking about, I think I'll go for it ...anything particualr I should look for with regard the compressor?

It's a Listed building, I'm replacing 'like for like'.

Hi Thermo, Which particular one were you thinking of? Thanks

Cheers chaps I'll take a look and let you know how I get on.

I'm in the process of repairing my tudor built house. To cut a long story short we are now in the position to replace an awful lot of lath and plaster walling. I'm wondering if anyone could recommend a nail gun that would fire the correct nails for this job? Many thanks!

Indeed, I keep saying to myself ...water tank or snooker room...hmmm

Good point... fortunately I'll be constructing a new garage block and intend to put the tank in the loft space. Unfortunately it looks like I'll be building the worlds tallest garage!

[/url] Nice one thanks. I was intially thinking of using a pumped system but I quite liked the idea of maybe using a single small pump running on off peak electricity to fill an elevated tank. I could then use the stored water at my leisure without using any further power, assuming I could...

Lovely thanks KevP (By the way thanks for all your help on my last visit. Your advice was invaluable and my waste swimming pool water venting system is working a treat). :wink: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++= Oh dear that means to reach a lowly 15 psi I need to elevate the...

Does anyone know roughly what the average mains water pressure is in pounds per sq inch? I'm trying to work out how high I need to site a water tank to supply collected rainwater around my garden at a reasonable pressure. ie close to mains as I can get. My plan is to link numerous water...

I have a semi concealed gas meter that is in the "wrong place". Legally do I have to get Transco to move it or can I employ a corgi reqistered plumber to do it? Many thanks.

:lol: Superb :lol:

Lovely thanks, Guys I really appreciate all the advice. I've printed off your suggestions/ recommendations and am meeting up with the plumber this week. I will pass on the info and see what he comes up with. I'll post again with some photos! :D
