    Use shower pump for whole house

    Hi all, We have a gravity fed system and are getting a new shower installed as part of a whole new bathroom fit out. It's been suggested we could connect our bathroom sink taps to the mains, rather than the water storage tank as it is at present. Is there any reason why a shower pump can't...

    Could this be a Rat?! Whole in pan connector

    Woke this morning to see water pouring out the bottom of our downstairs loo. Took a closer look and found this large whole in the pan connector. Easy enough to replace - but what could have made this hole? Is a rat the most obvious answer? See picture!

    Low water flow to whole house

    I have a pressure reading of 75 psi to my house but the flow is very poor. We do not have a water softener or pressure regulator. The flow is about even on hot and cold taps.

    Clerk of works condems the whole job

    We're talking 33 boilers in a new build. Of which 12 have been installed by a non gsr plumber before I got there, but we fixed the f-ups, and then 21 by 6 gsr including me. There has been some flue upsizing on 4 boilers, later discovered by me to be unnecesary, and some arguing along the way...
