    Improvements for pre-lagged DHW cylinder

    How much hot water do you need and where? I've seen small houses, flats and apartments with a cylinder, no bath, electric shower and the cylinder just providing to basin and kitchen sink. Stripped out cylinder and fitted a 15 litre hyco under sink unit to do sink and basin.

    Installing a saniflo at the bottom of garden

    Just leave a bucket for the fairies it will be fine. Seriously though, if you have a fence then rise straight away and fall to stack. As above but insulate rise.

    It is at 33 degrees, supposed to be 44 by Saturday. Marrakesh is spot on but the heat is just a bit too much. Ah well, another cold beer and back in the pool 👍👍

    Water leak Worcester Bosch Heatslave 25/32 External

    That particular boiler is probably the worst oil boiler on the market, an absolute pile of poop. I wont even go out to them anymore.

    Downsizing outflow pipe at wall

    It shouldnt be connected like that anyway. Where does it go to once outside? a gully? hopefully not a stack. Is dishwasher next to kitchen sink? If so could use an appliance trap and do away with that pipe altogether.

    What's the pressure doing? First port of call would be the brass flow switch.

    HardieBacker - "other" uses.
