Onoff

I'm not as think as you drunk I am btw... Repeated the test this morning in the bathroom and it's nominally 1m before the basin tap gets even warm then 1m15s until hot. Up in the loft I have these pipes dropping down. Hot comes a fair distance from the cylinder in 22mm then drops to 15mm. To get quicker hot is it "just" a case of putting a T in then a pump back (to where?). Triggered by an occupancy switch? There'll still of course be a short dead leg from here the couple of metres down inside the wall to the basin / bath: Can anyone recommend a cheap pump? Edit: I do feel as I'm being somewhat cajoled into this...

Just printing the test piece to insert in the Duratool base. Hollowed out to save on material / time. Designed in AutoCAD by me. Sliced in Cura by the lad. The .stl opened in Fusion by the lad to generate these pretty renders. I'll round the edges off and graft it to the Makita bit later on:

When you're older and 4 stone heavier? I used to be able to crawl along the triangle formed by our front eaves to access the loft where all the cables go down into the cu along with various pipes that run down there. There's a fair chance now I'd get stuck and have a clutcher!

Guilty!

A lovely zootesque word there! ?

Saying that the joist depth as well maybe?

Borehole in your case I imagine?

Did you do it "officially", as in by deed poll etc? ("Tess Blythe just knew she and John Tickle would never wed").

Compost pile coupled with some small scale hydro?

GS38?

Pity I don't have a battery to try it on! ?

Would anyone have one of these 18V Duratool batteries? I'm after finding out the polarity, i.e which side is + and which is -. Cheers

Duratool multitool, ripe for conversion to Makita power. The Makita battery actually slides part way in. If there was a bit more meat in the tool base I could have maybe modded that. As it stands I'll have to figure an adapter. Fire up the Vernier George!

I don't always do it...and draw the line at noggins...

I still pilot. I'm a bit weird though as I cut through housings in the sole plate and header and slot the studs into that...then add glue and screw.

Depends on what I'm fixing. I always pilot drill in whatever. I don't always countersink. I might not countersink in softwood if using say Goldscrews but always will in ply, hardwood, melamine.

I've re-read this thread and you appear to have had one electrician and THREE plumbers on the job but the plumbing pictures show it looking unfinished? What are you doing to get through so many plumbers, you're not Zoot in disguise are you? ? (I still can't fathom "potable hot" btw).

Can you dig under and swap it out? ? https://www.constructionspecifier.com/comparing-polystyrenes-looking-at-the-differences-between-eps-and-xps/3/

Wait until a filter housing next to your crown jewels disintegrates at the same pressure. Then it sounds like a 6'5" bloke screaming for his Mum & praying nothing vital's been hit. Ask me how I know! ?

Ref Salus, our very own @Jeremy Harriswas using (and rating highly) Salus gear if I remember correctly. He was no mug either.

Hell yes! Try operating a hydraulic pump at 2500psi when the pump is part full of air. Sounds like a horde of angry dwarves with hammers trying to escape!

Along with plastic pipes. What's to rust in there? I'm lost. Won't any "iron in the water" be picked up anyway by a Magnaclean etc? With the appropriate inhibitors in there it'll last an age. If it does go t!ts up it's not the end of the world, minutes to change on a bad day. It doesn't run that often either does it. I reckon the biggest win here is the saving you've made of £428 (list ?).

I couldn't see where it says that at the link? Is that the tech guys personal opinion or can he back it up with a link to his company's, manufacturer's instructions? (I've got the hump this afternoon after a big company's so called tech guy gave me a bum steer! ?). A funny aside, a mate asked me if I'd ever seen a particular busbar system connector. I said yes it's so and so make. No he said I've tried them and they said it's not theirs. So I rang the tech line myself. A very nice young lady confirmed that's no it's not theirs. On the off chance I asked if a particular tech guy, Steve still worked there. We last dealt in 1987 and I had happened across his name in my old filofax. He did amazingly and we chatted about old times. No he confirmed, not their busbar. Yes it is I insisted. He put it to their parent company in the Netherlands and they found a box of 20 in what they refer to as their "museum". Old stock not on the system. My mate bought the lot. I got an email from Steve saying he didn't even remember them so how f***ing old must I be!

Is it plastic insides maybe? Edit: As in steel coated maybe?

Presumably to save you £428 ? Wish I had a hot return. Takes a full minute to get warm then at 1m15s it's hot. If you don't want that pump I'll have it . How's it triggered, occupancy sensor or something?
