    What does this debris look like to you?

    We've recently done a power flush on a system that's already been power flushed twice within the last 5 years. System boiler with an unvented HW cylinder and 3x UFH manifolds. Quite a large house. Strainers installed before each manifold - fully clogged. The stuff we got out of it looks like in...

    Best flush cones for low level cistern connections?

    Any recommendations other than the usual clear ones that seem too rigid most times? I’ve tried the white rubber ones as well but sometimes they don’t allow the pipe to insert fully.

    Where does the bellows fit on a Grohe adagio single valveflush?

    I can't see whether the bellows which activates the flush is supposed to fit inside the opening at the top of the valve or press down on the edge. It doesn't seem to be aligned with the top so I don't know what's up with it.

    Close coupled seal for 2" flush with 100mm OD?

    I'm trying to locate a close coupled cistern seal (foam or rubber) for a 2" flush with a 100mm OD and 67mm ID. All I can find is 105mm, 107, or 110mm OD. The pan recess for the seal will only accept 100mm OD. Any ideas on where I could go?

    Mains Water Closet direct Flush valves still a rarity in UK?

    Just was at a caravan site in Lake District recently, which had some very interesting Delabie electronic tap and shower fittings, also direct WC flush valves which worked extremely well. Always wondered why these valves didn’t seem to catch on in UK when very many other countries never use...

    Toilet flush button cistern replacement

    Hello I’m trying to find a replacement flush button but although the thread looks like a siamp I don’t think it is. I found what I thought was the correct button but it didn’t have a strike bar which should fit in a rectangle hole in the centre of the top thread. I’m wondering if that bit was...

    Toilet flush pressure question

    Hello, I have a question on flush pressure. When I press the bigger button, there's hardly a flush. I understand that's normal but it's a very minimal flush. And then the smaller button is quite hard to press and I think doesn't do a full flush either. So when I flush I press both and it works...

    Do you need a power flush still with new rads

    My Mother-in-law was quoted £1,000 by British Gas to do a power flush on her system as her rads aren't performing well. I was wondering, as 4 radiators need to be upgraded to doubles, would this need to be done if they are drained off and replaced? How does one actually know it needs a power...

    Water in my house cut out after toilet flush

    We have recently had water hammer issues. Plumbers have installed an arrestor near our kitchen sink and a device in the toilet cistern to slow water shut off. Worked for a bit, but hammer returned. This morning, while the toilet was refilling and the shower was on, there was a loud thud that...
