How do I know if it's one or two part valve ?

When my water storage tank is filling I get a loud fog horn noise and a lot of pipe vibration. I think it is the ball cock in the cold water tank, can this be repaired or should I replace it ?

You don't state make and model but I would think it has to do with the hose going to the water pressure switch or the switch. with no make or model I cant advise where to locate these.

Could the washing machine and sink be mains feed and the other taps from your storage tank ?

Thanks corgiman, was able to find a converter when I knew what it stood for. 1MPa = 10Bar so the taps are for 0.5Bar to 10Bar, as I live in a bungalow with a gravity feed system I guess I will use a pump.

Got new taps for the bath and it states a water pressure of 0.05 - 1.0 MPa, is 1 MPa the same as 1 Bar ?

Hi, I have fitted a monsoon pump to both my hot and cold water system and am very happy with it. Only one thing concerns me, when the toilet is flushed the pump will run for about a 30 seconds or more after the cistern has filled, How is this and will it do any harm ?

Many thanks, that's just what I needed.

Yea they are 45 cm tiles, I can see the problem with getting them to look flat as even a tiny hight deference when they are so close will be very easy to see. looks like I will have to talk the wife out of that idea :?

Check for blockage in the filter and the hose from the bottom of the tub to the pump, also check the pump. The pumps in these machines can quit when they get heated with the wash water and the cooled with the rinse water, If you turn the machine off for 30 mins and then put it to drain and it...

I have an oil fired heating system that won't let me heat the water only. If I want just hot water I have to turn down the thermostatic valves on each radiator in the house, the two rads in the hall and one in the bathroom have no thermostatic valves fitted so they stay on. As you can see this...
