Just changed over from old gravity fed system to unvented tank... Hot water running fairly orange...theres only about 10 metres of old 15mm copper left between tank and tap, rtge rest is either new copper or plastic.... Could the increased preassure in that short run be blasting residue off pipe?

Thanks,... Just cut it back, hoping for the best!

Planted last May, then ignored over the winter... Multiple frosts and it does not look happy! But, green at base.... Is there hope?? Should I cut back all dead leaves? Any advice gratefully received!

Is there not a replacement compression fitting to go onto the mdpe pipe?

Thanks all. It is leaking a bit, but maybe if I crank up compression?

Hi all, I want to change stop cock from old gate valve to a lever valve... Any advise as to how to make connection? Thanks

I've made some shelving units to house, apparently, "the ornaments".... Nope not a clue either.... But, just about to order the glass... Would you set the glass shelf to the front edge of unit, or set it back 10mm or so? Thanks for any input!

Can you bring the cables through the rear of these? See those two central holes, but perhaps ps they're for afixing the box?

Can anyone reccomend a surface mounted junction box to replace this? Thanks

Anyone know where to buy a Rodetal boss, I only need one and postage is as much as the item! Thanks

Sound advice. I'm going to opt for a new one... I can't figure out what's going on with existing.. It'll hold pressure at 2 bar but not above...

I've an Aquasystem ARB24 expansion vessel that appears to have a split bladder.... I see you can get new bladders for these... Has anyone replaced an expansion vessel bladder? Easy enough?

I didn't press pin on valve - just coinected bike pump and pumped water out. I then assumed I'd be able to repressurise it.... But it doesn't hold any pressure at all.

Couple of buckets full came out, but then it doesn't seem to hold any pressure.... Knackered?

Ah ah, thank you!
