Hi all. My question is pretty much what it sounds like - are combo units as good as dedicated purifiers or dehumidifiers, or are they mediocre at both tasks? For context: I have a nasty combination of asthma and hayfever, so I'm planning to get an air purifier with a HEPA filter to remove...

Hi, I have an unknown UFH system (not long moved in) that had to have the blending valve replaced due to a leak. I was worried that this would have introduced air into the system so now am looking to refill/pressurise the system (the emergency plumber just did the blending valve and said it was...

Hi all Another Air Ram question. The brushes were not turning so I replaced the broken drive belt and the nylon gear just in case. This fixed it but now it will only turn while not on the floor as in if I put it down to hoover up it doesn't go round. Could it be a motor issue? Bipman

So begins my sad saga. Like most of us, I like a problem and the satisfaction of solving it and felt capable of doing so as I have had some plumbing experience (Pre Corgi) and have, in fact fitted a complete system around 20 yrs ago (Tho my mate, Bill the Plumber did the final checks) Here...
