Okay cool.....but I'm guessing all I need to do is clean filter and drain down the water every now and then as there's no filling of it.

(sorry forgot to update the thread) So, weirdly whilst their telephone support was hideous, Twitter came to the rescue and they classified it as an "emergency" change...a guy came out within 4 hours and added a box. Job sorted, and for free!

Hi guys, I purchased a portable AC unit several years ago, and it was the best thing I've ever done for those hot muggy nights! However, it's been in storage for a while and now we're starting to use it again it got me thinking about legionella and other bacteria. I've reviewed the manual...

@securespark That would be great. There is no email in your profile so I've messaged your number instead :)

Nope, not an active line. Broadband is via Cable, and we don't use landlines at all. Everyone is saying BT should be sorting this but they just keep asking if it's a "junction box" issue. When I ask them to tell me what exactly they mean (after I've explained the situation) I get hung up on...

What do you mean?

Worst comes to worst then, I'll rock up there and put it behind a plastic box to make it neat.

Cheers guys. Yeah I know we don't NEED to fix it but it looks awful and we're about to put our house in the market. So, are you saying that this isn't a 'provider ' problem and just needs a diy solution?

Hi guys I've tried Virgin and I've tried BT - both hung up on me when my request didn't fit a script they had in front of them (honestly!). So, birds must have gotten to the box that usually terminates the phone line to a house, as the box is no more and the wires are all over the place. Can...

Cheers guys - I'd wired it up as so...was just waiting for the experts to confirm before I turned the breaker in again :) I'm not dead so yay!

Ok cool...... Can you help with the wiring ;)

Hi Guys One more to do so thought I'd ask the brain trust again. Here is the old switch. It has 4 terminals and has live to C1, L2, whilst Neutral is on L1. My new switch has 3 terminals; Com, L1 and L2. How do I wire that up? I do have an intermediate switch available too with 4...

I know yes sorry - I was writing whilst waiting for somebody. Essentially when I use something nonconductive to 'tap' the fuse box responsible for the lights, on the consumer unit, the lights come on. It's like something is loose yes

Hey, We have a converted garage and a new circuit box was out in many years ago. We have found that sometimes the lights don't work in there. When checking the curricula box the circuit for the lights only has a fuse that is pushed in and doesn't have a trip attached. When investigating we...

Sorry I was being facetious.....the "high sensitivity mode" means I didn't check the wires properly :)

Another fun fact: I actually have one, and I "thought" I tested every wire....it wasn't in "high sensitive mode". I've learned my lesson :D

I've used the other one on another double light switch I had :) Now I know it was indeed the correct switch to use, I'll go and get another. Fun fact; as I was replacing the old other switch, I forgot that the switch served both an internal and external light - I forgot to turn off the external...

So if I use another spare earth cable I've got and run it from the new switch back to the wall bracket where the other earth is? Or should I remove the earth from the back box and instead put it on the back of the new socket? I did the former on the lights I just switched out. I actually have...

So, to confirm, in following @Taylortwocities post/instructions right?

Thanks for the replies. I noticed that the intermediate switch has the same wiring on the back, so I thought I'd just get one of those? Thoughts? @RandomGrinch there is one in the backbox already but there's also one on the switch which the instructions "demand" you make use off- I have some...
