What we all working on this week ?

[king of pipes]

I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Does it re circ the water ?

No, it could do if they had the water storage capacity but they are restricted with space.

so just goes to drain how are they handling the back flow risk ?

 

[Jim Goodenough]

Do you mean for the CW supply or drainage? The machine empties into a settlement tank and then into a Drainmajor which will pump it up about 5m to a soil stack in the building. CW wise, I'm undecided what fluid risk it is at the moment. It doesn't actually hold any water as such, it just fills at a steady rate from the top of the drum and discharges out of the bottom through an open waste. Its not possible for it to over fill into the machine itself as the water just runs straight out of it. Id like it to be CAT 3, but it might be CAT 4

any cleaning chemicals or is it just rocks ?

Both, the drum

any cleaning chemicals or is it just rocks ?

It uses aggregate and chemicals, but they don’t mix with the water before going into the mixing drum, they both have separate supply lines so I can’t see any risk of contamination. I’d say that there is less risk than you would get with say a dish washer or washing machine, I might just fit a double check valve. The other option is an RPZ valve but they are pricey and not so easy to get hold off.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Where’s the fill port below the spill level or above ?

 

[Harvest Fields]

I am Servicing all day today.

 

[MOSSEP]

The fill port is above the spill level so no risk of contact if it over flows

 

[Aquarius]

I am Servicing all day today.

Meanwhile on the Shaun and Mossep thread......

dcv will be more than good enough then as there’s an air break

 

[MOSSEP]

Replacing a pump in a pressurisation unit this morning, got to site and the bottom pan is nearly rusted through! Couldn't get spray paint in blue so white will have to do

[MOSSEP]

Vibro monster 50000 finished today all bar the water connection! Waiting for a solenoid valve to be delivered to it can be filled via the control panel rather than manually.

Just under 5k from me, customer supplied all the gear bar pipe, fittings, self leveller, adhesive and grout.
Plenty of assistance before hand to make sure the tray former and tanking was what I wanted. The wash stand, mirror and towel holder were all custom made, shower screens 10mm kudox, vitra basin and grohe shower, taps and wc.
First smart box shower I've fitted, very impressed.
Wall tiles were porcelain, drilling was a pain, floor tiles ceramic. All expensive and really good quality.
Warm up underfloor heating. Electrician was in for a day and half. New spots, wall lights moved, new shaver socket, under floor, electric towel rail and wifi control for underfloor.
So I would think your 10k is not far from the mark.

Nice to work with top end materials for a really good customer.

I'm out this morning to fix a toilet. Then tomorrow to strip out a shower enclosure and prime, tile monday, grout and finish Tuesday then that's it. Phone off and 10 days off.

Only blot is that overnight the wifes uncle passed away. Heart failure, but he had a positive covid test a couple of weeks ago and although he wasnt affected by it it will go down as the cause of death.
