Many thanks for the detailed info, very useful and yes, it's the new main shower head that made me think I should've gone 2.0 bar. The old head was 170mm diameter and I really struggled to find anything remotely close to this size. Additionally I was rather taken aback at how much you can pay...

Just to finish this off and say I fitted the newer version of the same pump from Stuart Turner this week and also took the opportunity to replace both shower heads as well and the shower has never been better. In hindsight, if I was doing it again, I might go up in bar pressure slightly but I'm...

Perfect, many thanks (y)

I'm inclined to agree tbh. At the risk of being told 'if you have to ask, you should probably get someone in' how easy are they to fit ? The main issue I can foresee is that the main hot and cold pipes that are attached to the two flexible inlet pipes on the pump do not have isolators which is...

I've had the pump switched off at the mains for over half an hour, just thought I'd give it one last go to see if it was truly knackered, switched the power back on, turned on the shower and it worked perfectly. I'm not sure if the pump sounds as smooth as it did previously but then again I've...

Many thanks for the quick reply. Yes, it's on both hot and cold I just checked. Interestingly / worryingly, while I was moving the temp control from hot to cold, I also thought I'd disconnect the hose from the shower itself, the shower was running maybe for two minutes, I then started to smell...

Hi, We have a positive head Stuart Turner Showermate Eco S1.5 bar Twin pump, Part No. 46502, fed from a cold water tank in the loft and a hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard (at the foot of which the pump is located) that has given 9 years faultless service. With no obvious sounds of...

Too late...just ordered the S21 256GB to take advantage of the free earbuds. Trouble is the home button on the S6 has given up and it makes navigation around the phone a bit of a pain. I've been going around in circles for a couple of weeks, thought about an S20+ but for every good review on...

OK many thanks - I wasn't sure exactly where to post it.

I know we could waste years of our lives arguing the in's and out's of resolutions and megapixels etc but with my finger poised over the confirm order button on an S21 (and much debate over the fact the S21 screen res is technically a downgrade from the S20), I thought I'd compare the S21 with...

Thanks for your reply scott1980 In the small amount of research I've done over the last couple of days, its seems that there's not much middle ground - it's either a cheaper system that's almost not fit for purpose or it's a much more expensive system that will have many more bells and...

secureiam and handymanjo many thanks for your replies. This is exactly my point, I don't know anyone 'in the trade' personally, so would have to find some other means of weeding out the cowboys. The first company I found in my area by using the search facility on the SSAIB website appears to...

No I don't, which is exactly why I asked the question. I don't want something for nothing, neither do I want a load of 'gizmos', I just want clarification on, what I see as, a couple of key points to help me understand what is possible in order to achieve a reliable system. Thanks for your time.

Hi, Following an attempted break-in a few doors down this week, it has once again brought the subject of getting a house alarm to our minds. Now, setting my stall out early, if money was no object and the house was about to be gutted and redecorated, I'd go for a fully wired system...

Thanks for your replies. Alan, thanks for the link to your own experiences, I'm suitably reassured

Hi, We've just replaced a very ancient halogen security light with a LED version. The light is on the side of a shed, the shed is wired with a small ring main connected to a 'garage' CU and the old light (which had a plug) was plugged into a 13amp socket (inside the shed) on the ring main. If...

That scaffold netting is a great shout lostinthelight (y) wonder what its lifespans like in strong sunshine ?

No just PVC really.

I definitely feel there's a gap in the market here lol ! Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Hi, I'm looking to replace the corrugated plastic roof on a large'ish garden shed. I know corrugated plastic is looked down upon a bit but it's the only type of roof it's had in a long life and the last time I replaced it was about 20 years ago so I don't have a problem with it's life span per...
