Nope it was definitely the gunk, it was vile. Absolutely disgusting and never unscrewed that thing before. Smell has gone now but keen to replace seal and re silicone.

I'm actually now thinking it isn't a seal it is actually clear silicone underneath it as it doesn't all look the same shape!

This is our kitchen sink and we had a real smell. Took out the thingy thing highlighted on the pic by unscrewing it and 🤢 Cleaned it all out but the silicone seals are not great on the metal thingy thing and although it is sealed and not leaking I could probably do with replacing the complete bit but I have no idea what model of Franke sink it is. Can anyone help me get the replacement bit or identify what it is called so I can buy one please. (It doesn't look great on the pic as it is difficult to get back in as the seals are that damaged and disintegrated although it isn't actually leaking underneath - yet)!

Just wanted to report back on the £20 Sentry. Well its very surprising and we have noticed a huge difference! I've not had to scrape scale off the kitchen tap at all and the kettle we have in the Airbnb which is in frequent use has only been descaled once rather than weekly. Of course our water isn't softer but the limescale has definitely reduced in that it isn't sticking to things any longer! I'd definitely recommend it.

Not this particular panel but I struggled with the flipper panel on a walk in shower and the seal was like this, rigid and bloody hard work. In the end I used one of these old knives (I have a couple I got from my nana and use as butter knives). The handle is slightly rounded and worked well at pushing it in! Had blister on my finger though.... didn't use anything else as you had to put sealant on the metal and push the seal into that.

That doesn't work as a www. Is that a typo?

Good news is it looks like the flipper panel can be replaced as I've taken it off just now. Bad news, chip and scratches hes in slate ecfect shower tray thingy. Any idea how to repair?

Wow, so strange. Does anyone know if you can just replace the flipper or if whole glass has to come off. It looks like it's just the flipper bit that smashed.

Woke up to this, it's our spare shower and not regularly used. Been in for about 3 years with no issues. Any idea what can cause this? Didn't even hear it. Its the flipped thingy

Thanks Should I have a permable or non permable grout? I am presuming the brush in grout was permable? The slabs were laid on compacted MOT topped with a mortar bed of sand and cement. There is a fall on them and no drainage issues I have found the stuff we originally used it was https://www.tilingsuppliesdirect.co.uk/product/ultratile-propave-external-tile-grout?srsltid=AfmBOoqqWIztTfMWVL_E19WjgWZK8c2mKeKDwOqF5pSjqX0xMuMbyOvq

Mix it with water to store it? I am still unsure which is the best stuff to buy.

Should I get something like this https://amzn.eu/d/cNvWTLc or https://shorturl.at/zeAQW or something else?

We got the Sentry for £20 new off Ebay which is now fitted. We are going to see how we get on with this and if we notice any limescale difference.... if not we will then look into Combimate but I still have reservations about adding anything to the water that could impact on health like salt or phosphate.
