Thanks JohnD for your earlier advice on water softeners. We've since had one installed, following your tips, and it's FANTASTIC. The disgusting scum and limescale has disappeared from the bath, basins and taps, which now require very little cleaning. And because the toilet surface is now...

Thanks very much John D. That's really really helpful advice (not least pre-empting the hole in the car boot!!) Is there anything between the different makes? (Other than making sure they have the features you describe.) Thanks again

After trying a descaler for a while (with limited success) I'm now thinking of throwing in the towel and going to the expense of having a 'proper' water softener installed. 1. Has anyone out there (in a very hard water area) been disappointed with the performance of their water softener eg in...

:lol: :lol: :lol: Thanks corgiman. If anyone out there disagrees plse let me know QUICK as I'll be buying very soon!!!

There are so many problems on here with pressure/flow through taps that I thought I'd seek your advice before buying. The bathroom basin mixer I want to buy stipulates "low pressure - min 0.2 bar". I understand that 0.1 bar is 3 feet of head from the bottom of the cold storage tank in the...

I'm thinking of going for the Aqualisa Axis Thermo shower mixer, because the controls seem good for wet soapy butter fingers. But the controls do feel a bit plasticky. Does anyone know how robust they are? Here's a picture http://www.plumb-warehouse.co.uk/ishop/968/shopscr913.html Thanks

Thanks Breesey.

Nobody? :(

I'm no expert but looking at the picture I think he meant 4 metres squared (ie 4x4) not 4 sq metres, which might make a diff to gas4you's calculation??? Anyway there's a very rough calculator on B&Q's website which other people have found helpful. Regards.

I currently have a 20 year old basic bath/shower mixer with both hot and cold from an indirect system with 3ft head of pressure (around 0.1 bar I understand). The shower performance is quite good (though needless to say it doesn’t knock you off your feet!!) As part of a bathroom refit I’m...

I'm tempted to use a water-based radiator paint (white gloss) but I don't want to do so if the results are inferior to the spirit-based type. Does anyone know whether there is a difference in the finish obtained eg in the gloss or whiteness, or other? Thanks
