I knew you'd all catch on eventually. You should have a non return and isolator on them really though folks.

P.s. this sprayer is about £6 at stax.

is this quicker than drainging a small amount of water from a towel rail, then topping up with chemicals??

There isn't always a towel rail.

Yes it's pretty darn quick. Not as quick as the Fernox F1 cans, but not far off.

cheers, I may well be getting a new investment

invest in a listening stick, can help locate partial blockages. open all lockshields and trvs etc full then go round accessible pipework putting the stick on it. you usually get louder velocity noise in the local of a restriction.

Different Models Of Listening Sticks By Vernon Morris At Reasonable Price.. you only need the 8" one. better than sticking a screwdriver to your ear which ive seen done. can get extensions as well for checking for mains leaks..

Clean up after you've finished a job, even if the lady or gent of the house says it's fine.!!!

Check that all controls etc. are working before you start a job so that you don't get stitched up when they don't work afterwards.

"It's all part of the service you've paid for" is one of my most used quotes.

I get more positive feedback about cleaning up than anything else, mind you I am pretty bad at plumbing !
