Just a curious question about kitchen drain. I used flexible hose bent to T-Trap shape under sink. It drains into 2" horizontal PVC into wall where 2" PVC is bent 90 degree to floor below. Sometimes water doesn;t drain or drains very very slow, then within 10-20 seconds all drains. Next time...

Dare I ask what’s this new feature? Now you can’t post on the same topic until waiting nearly a minute and a half. Is this new software just trying to get you to limit the amount you add ? Another annoying function.

Just having a skim through Screwfix sale items and spotted this: https://www.NoLinkingToThis/p/flomasta-magnetic-central-heating-filter-22mm/4672f Thought it'd be worth picking a couple up but, lo and behold, not available for either pick up or delivery. This is probably the 7 or 8th time they've...

Dudley japtic syphon. The first flush works fine, the cistern fills up fully straight afterwards, but when you try to flush again it doesn't flush. You can try a few more times and it still won't flush. Leave it 3-4 minutes and it flushes fine again. Should I just replace the syphon or washer...

The mains pressure into the house was fine until I turned off the outside tap / valve on the roadside to do some work inside. It's a newish looking valve which has a plastic handle. It only takes a quarter turn between on and off with no effort. Is it usual for this type of valve to give...
