The water pressure in my pub is really poor. One example is if two toilets are flushed they seem to take forever to fill. I have chased it up with the water co for months now, but no joy of any improvement. An idea we had was to put a storge tank in the loft and soley just feed the toilets...

One of my property's water pressure has recently completely diminished to the point where the upstairs water barely works. In recent weeks water works have been done in the area, I have spoken to the supplier and they're denying it has anything to do with them and have checked the water...

I have recently noticed in our pubs gents, the cistern has stopped stopped working; ie,not filling or emptying. I had a look up there and there's not much to see apart from the water pipe sticking out of the wall with some type of valve attached, there doesnt appear to we any wiring to it(i...

The pressure to our house is 9 bar and we have a combi boiler. I am wanting to install a reducing valve as i am putting an on-suite in and the shower we're putting in wont be able to handle this pressure (or the instructions say it wont) The ideal place, i believe is to install it some...

Plumbed in a bath today, there appearsed to be no leaks what so ever. That was until i filled the bath, then emptied it, then a tiny drip appeared under the bath, but 2-3 inches from the waste, there is no damp from this drip back to the waste, so its not a run. so i thought there must be...
