Hi Looneyfitter, thanks for that constructive helpful suggestion, actually I'd already come to that conclusion several months ago after studying my how my father's caravan water system works and realised I'd need a similar thing. I'll be looking into this again after months of inactivity -...

I've used both in my home, its unusual being a "sectional building" where even the outside walls are 3x2 stud walls. So I'm limited with thickness - so Airtec seemed a good supplementary option to boost the effective level of insulation. The theory is that the 6mm ish thick foil is equivalent to...

cheers Robin - brilliant - a very useful link for anyone considering this method of hot water provision if they need to use this method like I have - definately agree with a lot of the FAQ's on that page.

Ignoring you Bengasman, you're not being helpful.

bengasman... I'm doing my own bathroom, I'm not a plumber - and I don't want to make a career out of it, or start training for months just to fit one thing that could be done in a day - and never use the knowledge again - that seems a bit daft. I enjoy learning and doing things myself - The...

I've got some experience with a 12kW RedRing Powerstream. Its a nice small compact unit - however apart from the huge cable and circuit breaker you need for it - when you open it up you'll see why its absolutely useless for filling a bath or big shower. Inside is a single loop of pipe, which...

Thanks for all the info chaps.. Re flow rate.. Sorry - Its not 20 litres a minute that the shower produces actually, sorry I misinformed on that. What I meant was that looks like the theoretical maximum of the supply looks like it is this - with a tap on the end of the pipe that feeds the...

bengasman - I want to understand the reasons behind the laws on it thats all. Additionally most people's water systems in their homes in the UK are not the same as mine, I have no room for a tank and a flat roof - and being in a remote area there is no gas so a combi is out of the question, and...

Hi seco services - thanks for the reply - Surely the reason for the bye-law issue of contamination is due to mixing stored (hot tank water) and cold mains water together directly though one unit, my system doesn't do that its all directly mains fed. Remember its not a conventional stored...

My bathroom shower is directly mains fed via an instantaneous water heater, my pressure is 3bar on the mains and 20 litres per minute in terms of flow rate. I've fitted a nice bathstore Cloud 500 huge shower head and plan on adding 4 shower jets around the shower area. The jets are seperately...

Brilliant, thanks for the advice Mark!

Hi there, I'm new to plasterboard socket boxes... I'm currently gutting my home to improve insulation throughout, and have a situation now where I'm about to start putting up plasterboard over some internal stud walls, in lieu of eventually having it skimmed with plaster afterwards for a nice...
