    Boiler Overheat

    What shall I do with this?

    Here's the proffesionally installed shower pump in my loft. :shock: What shall I do with it? I realised this weekend that the flow is restricted by the 2 flexi-hoses the plumbers put linking the 22mm pipes. The ID of the flexi hose has got to be less than 10mm? Thing is -...

    16A Spur for Immersion Heater - Additional Fused Spurs

    I am thinking of making use of the 16A tripped supply in my airing cupboard for a shower pump. The only thing is a previous owner of the house has been there before me and taken two fused spurs off the back of the immersion fused outlet supplying the central heating boiler & circulation...
