Hiya guys.
I tried to turn the water off the other day, and when i fully screwed the stop cock in it made no difference whatsoever. i would have thought that even if the rubber seal inside had perished it would have slowed down the water flow at least a bit, but it made no difference, We have never needed to shut the water off before, so i was wondering if this was indeed the main stop cock, the last residents told us this was the stop cock, as soon as i get the waterboard out to locate the external stop cock (buried under the garden somewhere) then i can shut it off and have a look, but does anyone know if the rubber seal is completely perished would it still flow Niagra falls?
