    Old site back?

    Just incase you didn't read it Wissel. Obviously, you are all free to use whichever forums that you wish too. We have all put a lot of effort into this forum and at the moment it is just finding its feet. What I can tell you is that I will be giving the same amount of passion to this forum...

    Which way flow ?

    It is a guide for which ever system it is used in, 13psi is the standard and what it would be charged to as bought, but if you use it in a specialised system they are just stating that its maximum working pressure is 116psi, it will probably take about 10 to 20 % more pressure before the...

    Which way flow ?

    Yes it would be high. With no expansion tank I can draw about 500ml of water before the pump kicks in, it really depends on how much pipe work and size of hot water tank you have as to how much pressure capasity is stored in your system Phil

    Agreed Chris on long pipe runs it probably does make a difference. Phil

    Which way flow ?

    No it doesn't matter all the expansion tank does is flatten out the pulses of water from the pump, it acts like an expansion tank of a combi boiler. I.e. it has a diaphragm inside the tank which separates the water from the pressurised side of the tank, thats what the Schrader valve on top of...

    Govenment rules and regulations

    While I have great sympathy for families that have suffered family trauma such as young Natasha Laperouse and others who have had similar situations, I can not help but feel that the world is ascending or descending into total dependency on mother government. If I personally had a problem with...

    Old site back?

    Phil I dont think there is much doubt that those that are on here now will not leave on a whim that an old site may or may not have re started, I feel that much of the bon homie that existed before has now re installed its self in the new home you have provided and I'm certain that I hav'nt...

    ACSI camping card are they worth?

    It was ment as a metaphorical never been to France, as in you blast straight down the motorways in France and don't appreciate the possibilities and by the sounds of it will not even try. I have to say wildebus I was only reacting to your original statement. It would seem we must draw a line...

    ACSI camping card are they worth?

    What that statement tells me wildebus is that you obviously have not either been to France or you hav'nt travelled the rural roads of France to any extent, I'm definitely not an EU ( Common market) fanatic as some on here will tell you, but I have to protest that the French country folk are...

    Found on ebay

    I think you will find that by the time you have bought all the seperate items and the wiring you would not be far short of £250 If not exceeding that amount. Phil

    Found on ebay

    I think we have spoken on this view before Trev, but this is only for those that want a quick and modern solution to what to some folk is a wizards conundrum, plus this is also a charger 25amp smart, a auto alarm, turns your power/lighting off and on at the times you preset and works with...

    For those that have yet to buy a system. This is the one I used and it has been excellent for 4 years, this is a third of the cost from Sargents. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F202571781403 If your interested act quickly because it won't be...

    John Guest ?

    If they are pennies then why not, never used them myself infact I have found in the past that if the pipe is inserted properly it can sometimes be a real pain trying to pull the pipe out even with the coller fully depressed. Phil

    John Guest ?

    Yes I do agree with 25mm pipe work Phil especially on the hot water side of things ( In Cardiff Bay of course it was all cold water ) and so I got away with it. I'm not saying don't use them on 10/12mm I just personally think in the terms if caravan and motorhome its not absolutely necessary...

    John Guest ?

    Yes Chris I'm well aware of the use of inserts, I built the whole pontoon water system for Cardiff bay Yatch club when I worked there all in 25mm poly and of course had to use inserts ( missed in a few joints as I ran out on occasions, but to my knowledge have never given way ). But 25mm is a...

    John Guest ?

    I always use a sharp knife or razor though I have used a hacksaw in the past, just make sure the cut is square and the cut has no ragged burrs, i.e. make sure the cut is clean edged. I've never used inserts? Didn't know they were necessary on semi rigid 12/10mm polypropylene polypipe, I'm aware...

    Gas Servicing

    I am in no way a legal beagle, however I would think that if an insurance company take on the liability insurance of a selfbuild camper/motor caravan they would specifically have to ask for a gas safety cert or copy for their files if it was an inherent regulation to their offer of insurance...
