    Way to work out flow rates

    Thanks rik. That's what I meant sorry. Just like standing and working pressure at a meter. Thanks for reply last plumber. So let's say we know the dynamic pressure at the stopcock and before the pressure reducing valve. What calculation would you then use to work out what you would potentially...

    Way to work out flow rates

    25lpm and 4.4bar I believe this is static and dynamic pressure? Customer wants to know what gain they will get by upgrading the pipe that's the problem. I need a formula if there I one to give a rough idea as to what the gain may be.

    Way to work out flow rates

    Incoming is 25lpm. I think about 6 elbows in total. Mains feeding unvented cylinder only. Currently in 15mm. Unvented cylinder is in the loft at the moment of a normal sized house.

    Way to work out flow rates

    I'm not to sure to be honest. I will see if I can find out the make and model of the water softner and see what max flow rate it can achieve but it would be useful to be able to go back to the customer and say, in theory, if water softner can cope or it was bypassed, We can upgrade the 15mm...

    Way to work out flow rates

    does anyone have a chart or know an equation to work out how pressure will improve over the length of the pipe. We have installed an unvented cylinder in a loft and have 14lpm with water softner connected. 18lpm without. 2.2bar pressure at shower upstairs. Customer wants more pressure as...

We have to lean right over the kitchen units into the corner to be able to get the old one off the wall so putting something under it and dropping the boiler down slowly then sliding it across the worktop...

    Shower Ideas anyone?

    Yeah I know, I need to take a look but just wondered if anyone knew of a suitable replacement so I had a head start on it. Could be a re tile job. Its a job we could do without at the moment as we are so busy but want to keep the est agent happy.

    My combi boiler keeps loosing pressure & the overflow is dripping

    If your friend is Gas Safe and knows what he is doing he would know exactly what parts to bring with him from the faults you are describing. I would find another fitter if I were you.

    Shower Ideas anyone?

    Thanks Shaun, LL wants us to replace it. Any make and model will do if its a straight swap. Not been there yet to see if it is tilled over etc. I just googled Mira 88 but not sure if the newer version will fit and doesn't bring up the one in the picture.

    Cutting out the middle man

    Thanks for the advice. Good point about buying towards the end of the month, I hadn't thought of that. I already buy in bulk were I can as I know the deals are much better that way. I guess the only way to go direct is to speak to the local reps and do some bulk buys direct through them? I have...

    Cutting out the middle man

    We use Screwfix as well to be fair. We have had accounts at all the locals and majors and they all take the p*** the merchant we are with now aren't so bad but we still don't get credits when we should, a lot of parts are overpriced etc. I know they have to make a living as well and I'm not...
