Ok, so I've solved my own problem now, the holes in the spray head were clogged with limescale, soaked it in white vinegar for a while, now spotless and working properly. Thanks anyway.

Hi All, Just fitted a pump on the gravity fed hot water system. Open any tap in the house and the pump kicks in fine, happy days, except the kitchen sink tap. It's got a pull-out sprayer on it, my theory is that going through the pipe of the spray, reduces down to about 6mm. I'm thinking this is...

Hi All, Have been asked to look into putting a Hive system onto a Powermax 155x boiler. Has anyone had any experience or useful advice of fitting this please. I know it's not an ideal setup or a good boiler, so Interested to know if its even possible. Thanks

Hi Peter, Sorted at last. I removed the flow regulator all together, put the pressure up to about 2.5 bar & fitted a service valve after the filter. Opened the service valve to regulate the flow & Whadda ya know ? BINGO !! Happy days. Cheers,

Thanks Peter, The pipework is easy enough to change, so I'll try that when Im there next. Will let you know how it goes. Thanks for your help.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. The mains is about 4 bar. I've got the reducer valve set at 1 bar closed, which drops to .5 when flowing. Would upping the pressure & relying on the flow regulator for a constant flow work better ? Cheers

Hi all, Hope someone can help me out with this one. I've installed a school drinking fountain. It comes off the mains , through a pressure reduction valve (.5 bar), then through a flow regulator valve (4l p/m) then through a filter & onto the fountain. The problem I'm getting is that when you...

Thanks Pollowick, didn't know that, I'll give it a try.

Hi, I have a customer who has a Keramag wall-hung W/C with a crack in the pan. He wants it replaced. I've tried emailing them but got no reply. I can't identify the exact pan that it is so... Does anyone know if all of their pans will bolt onto the same concealed framework? I can then just get a...

Hi Folks, I need to get hold of some 40mm, oak, edge trim to go on a laminate worktop. The 2 part trim, with a centre section for hiding the screws. Usually comes in 3M lengths, just cant find any !! Anyone know of a supplier please. Thanks

Hi Folks, I want to fit a roof dome into the flat roof of a kitchen, which is about to be re-felted. Mainly to let in light, but as a feature as well. Any advice on which type to go for would be appreciated. It will be about 1200 x 900. Does it need to be double or triple skinned ? Vented or...

Thanks Mr Puller. Looked at the link, any idea of the cost of these ?

Hi All, Our sports club has two sets of showers, with 5 push-button outlets in each. The cold water feed comes from a tank on the roof, to the boiler & the (ancient) mixer valves. The problem we have is while 1 or other set of showers is useable, the other set will be either scalding or cold...

Have been using a certain, un-named, silicone in showers for a couple of years now. It claims to stay white for 10 years. It claims to be WHITE FOREVER (theres a clue there). Am I the only one who thinks this stuffs c**p! Gone back to using ordinary sanitary silicone, half the price & no mould...

We have a 3-phase pool pump that was wired into a std consumer unit before the unit was changed. The connections go via a 45A contactor. Not sure how to reconnect, any ideas please. http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=4824327
