Looks really nice. I want to do something similar, but am hopeless at designs/styles for tiles. Where did you get yours from, and what colour are they? Also, where did you buy the suite? Many thanks.

Sorry if I have started something. :oops: I see what Agile is getting at now, please correct me if I am wrong. When I go to the ironmongers, the bottle will likely be 32% strength. But, you're saying I need a strength a third of this, so mix 2 parts water to 1 part acid. The mix will then...

Thanks for your reply. I'm confused by the maths though. One part acid to two parts water is 33%, not 11%? Can you confirm the mix acid/water please. Thanks to all who replied.

>>BUMP<< Any advice guys? Will be doing it this weekend. Don't want to melt my heat exchanger!! :o :o :lol: Thanks to all.

Got a bit delayed doing my Turbomax's plate heat ex, meant to do it weeks ago. Anyway, definitely doing it this weekend. Couple of questions; 1) What ratio of water to spirits of salt should I mix up to pour into scaled water side of exchanger? 2) How long is best to leave the adid/water...

I want to descale the plate heat exchager on my boiler this weekend. Where can I buy spirit of salts from? Also, how long should I leave the SOS in the exchanger for? Will it damage the metal if left too long? Will SOS also clean the primary side of the P Hex - not that I think that...

Thanks for all your replies. 75p. That's way too strong for me. :wink: Seco hit the nail on the head. Rubble sacks. Was talking to someone in the local who happened to be a plumber. He reckoned 1200 guage DPC membrane. Sure I got some sacks or membrane in the back of the garage, next to...

The diaphragm has split in the syphon of my toilet cistern. Can you buy the correct type of plastic sheet to cut out a new one, from plumber's merchants, etc? Or, is there any other source of a suitable plastic?

Can you believe that $od is censored? How quaint! :lol:

Put a new O ring in between flow valve and inlet. Still leaks. :( Think I know why. The installer who put it in 10 yrs ago fitted the supply pipe straight into the rear of shower. The pipe should have an elbow on the end, to bend either up into the inlet compression joint, or down into it...

Thanks again Seco. No, Mira weren't feeling generous, so I paid the 8 quid for the seal kit. Still a lot cheaper than a new shower! Can I ask you, when I remove the inlet clamp, is it then best to undo the compression fitting on the inlet where the 15mm supply pipe goes in the back? Will...

Many thanks for quick reply Seco. I was hoping you were about, as you seem to be the resident shower guru. Will get torx driver tomorrow, and whip inlet clamp off. Hopefully, it a straightforward job. If it's the o ring, is it best to get one from Mira, or elsewhere? Thanks again.

There is a steady drip from my Mira Advance shower. It's about 9 years old. It's coming from under the inlet clamp (see pic.), where the brass inlet joins the flow valve. I didn't have a torx driver to remove the inlet clamp, will buy tomorrow. Is it likely to be the join between inlet and...

Thanks for your quick reply. I have a Boiler Buddy ready to go on. No other filter will fit, as it's a bungalow and all 22mm F and R pipes are horizontal and close to loft floor. So, when the 2 torx mounting screws for the PHE are removed, the HE will just pull out of the back of the...

My ongoing hw problem with my G. W. 30cxi has been dianosed as blocked plate HE on this forum (hw running hot and cold & F14). I need to DIY, due to recent job loss. Normally removing the PHE involves removing gas components, but I have a cunning plan. My boiler is on a frame in the loft, as...

Thanks Mickyg. Yes, I have seen F14 once over the last few days in this ongoing saga. F5 and a lock-out seems to feature more though. Getting other 'interesting' symptoms too. Eg. 1) Today, arrived home, 3/4 filled kitchen sink with hot water, turned off hot tap, and radiator behind me...

BUMP. Me again. :wink:

ALSO - When hw is going hot and cold, the tops of the rads get warm. Is this also a scaled plate HE? Thanks

Thanks for quick reply. Is that limescale? Bristol has hard water. I'm a bit surprised as I have a Cistermiser combimate. Or is it dirt from system? Can HE be cleaned or is it replacement time? I have done a couple of jobs on this boiler, is the plare HE DIYable? If yes, any advice...
