It's measured from both the kitchen tap (near stopcock) and also at an outside tap. The flow seems identical at both locations. I'm not rural. I guess I should ask some neighbours if theirs is the same. However since posting the above I've found the utility room tap is closer to 10L a...
We are considering a loft conversion which may require removal of the cold water tank. However I've read that water pressure should be at least 10 litres per minute for something like a Megaflo and having measured ours a few times, it's only about 6 or 7 litres a minute. Are there any...
I recently refitted the bathroom and the soil stack is all tiled in. However I think I may be able to access the bath overflow's vertical pipe and T into that - which would then result in the AC draining to the 'safe' side of the bath's own P trap.
I did consider that but I wondered if the same thing would happen and it would make the noise of letting air out of a balloon instead of the whale song noise :) The internal HepVo valve design actually looks like a Whoopie Cushion valve and there are reports of hepvo valves making farting...
I have a bedroom air conditioning unit which drains water to the bath waste pipe via a tundish valve (this was my idea - not the A/C installers as I didn't want them to run a huge white pipe down the front of my house). It works perfectly for the purposes of the A/C to drain condensate but...
Thanks Madrab. There are only two of us in the house at the moment but I don't want to fit something which doesn't eventually scale when our baby arrives in a few months. That said I think the chances of all three people needing to shower at the exact same time is pretty negliable. I would plan...
I'm considering a loft conversion in my house as as part of adding an extension. However right in the dead centre of the most useful space, are the two tanks for cold water and central heating.
If I have an open vented setup, what is the least I can do to convert to mains pressure and remove...
Yeah that's what we decided to do in the end. It only got worse that day and started smelling of hot oil so we had to switch it off. It's now on the driveway awaiting a swap out :)
I'm sure a domestic applicance repair firm will sort it. You can easily replace the entire compressor if necessary. Nothing is beyond repair if you can get compatible parts cost effectively.
Worst case scenario I can buy a fixed price guaranteed repair for £175 (includes parts and labour), but...
I took the cover off in the freezer area and there was no ice at all. I also found a way to force defost in the service mode and the heating element below the evaporator came on and appeared to work fine.
The external element was also relatively dust free but it simply doesn't get hot. Only...
PS: I've also noticed that I don't think the compressor always starts when I think it would. Sometimes the relay clicks but nothing actually starts up (12v fan has usually started about a minute earlier).
Maybe I have more than one problem?
Hi all,
My Samsung American style fridge freezer has started to struggle to actually get cold. We noticed stuff in the freezer wasn't always completely frozen so tested with a thermometer to find it was only around -3C and sometimes even warmer!
The thermostat's resistance vs temp shows it's...
No, there weren't any when I moved in and I've not really had any cause to fit them. The house seems to heat up very evenly. Besides, I fitted 12 in my last house and 11 of them stopped working within 2 years.
