Sorry, don't recognise the description, and have never seen any "worm" type creatures in any of our water. Have seen a variety of fresh water shrimps on one occasion, but they are extremely rare these days. Had other things reported but there has always been an explaination once the problem...

WD should do the trick, if not try a PTFE based spray, that should sort things out for you.

By Thames Water, I pressume thats tap water and not water from the Thames..... :lol: Was it actually a worm? I have seen many things, but worms are very unusual. The only way a worm could get into the water supply (hypothetically) is if there has been a burst main in the locality and one...

yep, I have to admit, you got me there :oops: Been watching too much countdown.... they only have 9 letters on their board :?

Is it Jabba The?........ :lol:

Hey, there's no fooling chris.... bet you need a lay down after working that one out :lol:

I can assure you its free. Check the website first though as your area and info is probably on there, but there is no harm in having the water from your tap sampled. Results normally take 7-10 days to come back from the labs, but I doubt that the iron would be causing the black deposits. If...

BMX Q:what about the bath toys though. would some kind of filter help me? A: Same thing as taps, kids play with them then they are left damp in a warm damp room. No filter would cure this, so save your money to spend on yourself :D Chrishutt "It seems that gelatinous growth is often...

Morning BMX, I think i can answer your question regarding the black deposits you're getting in your taps and shower head. Working for a water company, I visit customers who call with this type of query quite often. From what your are describing, the black slime is something called...

There is no room temp control at all on the system or on the programmer. The heating is either on full blast or off. Controlling the temp in the room isn't that important really as we usually switch it off when we get too hot. My main concern is controlling the water temp, not only because...

Great pic from the link Dig :D Ours is the same system (gravity hot water/pumped heating) So, from looking at the link, the job doesn't seem as big a job as first thought. Is it just a case of fitting a zone valve and a anti-gravity valve? Wonder what difference that makes to the...

I have a gravity fed back boiler set up, but there is no thermostat on the hot water side, so as you can imagine the hot water is scolding hot when its run. There isn't a thermostat on the central heating side either, just controlled via a Honeywell ST7100 programme timer. The cylinder is...

I would take Gary_M's advice and go for the TomTom. They retail at about £299 for the basic 300, which is still a great piece of kit. I bought one for a friend from currys on line which had about £40 off, then I searched for promotional codes for currys, found one for a 5% macdonalds discount...

Yes the bylaws term is an old term, especially since water regs came in, but I would say that most plumbers would know the bylaws inspector, rather than the water regs inspector. ..... and he is a plumber too :) Also found out from an old mate I saw today, that he had come across the...

Thanks for that Softus, From what you have said it should work ok as long as i fit an anti-vac trap? I will give it a go..... do you know anywhere that does the 90 deg pan connector with a basin boss? or can I just buy a boss to strap round the existing pan connector? The "bylaws guy" is...

Hi everyone, This is my first post so here we go :? I'm in the process of gutting the downstairs w/c and ideally, I would like to fit a small basin in there. What I am wanting to know is..... can the waste from the basin be connected into toilet waste pipe which is a 90 deg bend...
