    Pump pressure switch and pump contamination

    Hi, I'm on a private water supply. I have a water pump and 60L pressure vessel with a particle filter and UV treatment system in line (before the pump obviously). The setup was installed when I bought the house and I've always thought the pump running wasn't right. It seemed to run a long time...

    In line extractor for hob

    As an alternative to the traditional bulky noisy hob extractor unit above the hob I would like to install an in-line extractor fan. The idea is to have the fan motor unit out of the way above the cupboards or ceiling and just a compact(ish) vent over the hob. I'm wondering if anyone has done...

    Instant electric water heater for shower and sink

    Without boring you with all the details I do not have a hot water boiler or hot water tank in my house and I don't intend to install either.

    Camray 5 oil boiler firing up but no hot water

    I have a Camray 5 combi boiler in my house which I moved in to in May. It has been working fine for the past four months but last week I turned the hot tap on to fill the kitchen sink and the water that came out was only lukewarm. Ever since I haven't managed to get any hot water out of it at...

    Wiring for outside lights, power & shed

    I am in the process of renovating my bathroom and have just taken out an electric shower and replaced it with a thermostatic mixer. I want to use the now redundant wiring for outside lighting, sockets and eventually to the shed. My bathroom is a ground floor extension. The shower had its own...

    Help! Scary electrical problem

    Hi, This evening I wired in four LED downlights to replace the single 60w light bulb in my bathroom. Before starting I switched off the light and for good measure I switched off the circuit breaker in my consumer unit. I had wired up nearly all of the lights using 1.5mm2 twin & earth and...
