Cheers mate. I have a job that needs one.

Hi KOP, I was told by aqualisa that a flow limiter can damage the pump so could only go down to 10l/min (if I remember correctly) - what do you go down to and have you had any problems?
I too have wanted to hold the bugger back occasionally!

9 litres a minute bud I will contact Aqualisa and check ? after second thoughts I may adjust where I limited the flow to the incoming supplies that way theres no back pressure , the stainless steel grate is the problem luckily my brother is the production manager in a factory that produces sheet metal products so hes going to fabricate a new one with 40 more holes in then restriction can come out ??? cheers Kop

You’ll probably have a market for those grids! I find positioning the riser rail/fixed head makes a hell of a difference to waste removal - but of course this has to be run past customer, if it wasn’t for them this job would be easy.

Update chaps after talking to Aqualisa technical , I have adjusted the processor control unit to HP eco mode from combi mode this reduces the flow by 2 litres a minute and removed the flow limiter it is not guaranteed to work faultlessly and can fluctuate slightly on temperature but a 2 litres a minute saving is worth trying also getting a grate made with 40 extra holes so should help.

Started a bathroom upgrade this week new owner hates the assisted bathroom look and it's fixtures and fittings so a full strip and new tiling is taking place, updating everything . Kop

The builder fitted the hardie panels.

The wall panels are 10mm plastic, all supplied by customer

Nice mate. Where did you learn to plaster?

I have a new house we are going to rent out that needs plastering and thought of giving it a go myself.....

 

[Ben-gee]

Buy yourself some pale pink clothes and cap then go for it. Oh and plenty of top quality hand cream. ( body shop -hemp for me)

 

[SimonG]

Get some plasterboard in the garage and give it a go. Had to self teach myself after being let down all the time. I'm definitely slower but can get a good finish.
