Hi Tripty, Here's a copy of my Instruction Booklet. See page 6 for an image of the two cartridges at either end. http://www.tradeplumbing.co.uk/assets/images/bristan/INSTRUC.PDF-1044824-D1.pdf Meanwhile, have found the following interesting page...

Tripty, many thanks for your help, above. Have just spent an hour doing as much of a check as possible. 1. Both the hot and cold filter-nets were clean. I even held a towel over both outlet pipes and then switched the water back on hard, to flush out any heavy grit that may have sunk down...

Thanks very much, Tripty. Yes, my unit looks very much like the one in your pic. When you say I ought to try cleaning "the non-return valves", are these the two filters - where the hot comes in and where the cold comes in, from the pipes in the wall? When you say I should try taking...

Thanks, Ianniann. Your suggestion has reminded me that we suffer from quite marked limescale problems here, in kettle and in the toilet-pans must noticeably, so those two magnets (which are both pretty powerful) haven't been doing much of a job! Nevertheless, as you also suggest, I'll put...

I went to switch off the cold water / mains tap the other day and found that a few inches along from the actual tap a previous owner fitted a plastic "device" which has the words "Mini Wizard" written on it! All this "Mini Wizard" is is two strong magnets. It appears that you put one magnet...

We would rather like to start taking showers again, now that the worst of the winter is over! A professional plumber installed a Bristan shower mixer-unit here a year ago and at first it worked fine - although the water was never as hot as we would have liked it. I understand from the...

Hi Jon, Well, the job's "done", I hope! Got a sachet of Everbuild wallpaper powder, mixed a really thick quantity, and then beat it like hell till it was clear and transparent, then forced it onto the back of the paper, really working it into the paper, and then attached the pieces of...

Thanks, Jon. Good thinking re. those signs stuck on the inside of shop windows. They wouldn't use something that would be a bugger to get off. Hmmm. Might be worth popping up to town and asking a few shopkeepers. Have got a number of alternatives together now. The two major factors are...

"Border adhesive" sounds interesting. Haven't heard of it before. Have done a Google search and found Solvite do it: http://www.makingdiyeasier.co.uk/solvite/overlapborder.html Do you reckon this will stick heavy paper to glass? Re. the sticky-back plastics, unfortunately I've already...

Thanks. Good thinking! BUT . . . the next occupant of this room wouldn't be able to remove the wallpaper and enjoy the mirrors. I'm wondering now about criss-crossing the mirrors with double-sided tape. I think that might work given the paper is heavy and quite stiff . . . but it could be...

Hi. I have a room which has a fine built-in wardrobe all along one wall. Each of the five sliding doors has two framed panels and in each of these these is a mirror. Now this would be OK if this room was being used as a bedroom perhaps but it's now a study. So I want to apply a suitable...
