Why this site does not respect not receiving email option? Discussion Thread

I had a topic before related to this, even though my options are set to not to receive emails I still get them.

A few days ago I got: On Facebook - Please help us grow our FB profiles
Today got: PlumbersTalk.net - The New Domain for UKPF / PlumbersForums.net

If the domain is changed just redirect old one to new, no need to email ignoring the people's options.
I have no idea why I got the Facebook...

 

Manual pump to suck air bubbles out of tap? Discussion Thread

Having airlock problems with our hot tap: when is is running we hear bubbling and sometimes it stops completely. We can get it running again by running the cold tap fast at the same time. We are not on the mains. Our plumber used a wet and dry vacuum cleaner to pull water through once, is there a less expensive device I can use to get the air out? Thanks...

Hi all
We have a baxi combi boiler. Just lately on using hot tap either in kitchen or bathroom sink we sometimes get a pusating waterflow accompanied by a loud vibration seemingly in pipework or possibly boiler itself. Any thoughts? TIA.

Unvented hotwater cylinder Discussion Thread

Hi,

The invented hot water tank is dripping water continuously. I have tried to top up the air as suggested in YouTube videos by shutting off the hot water outlet and cold water inlet into the tank, opening the hot water tap to let the water out then opened the valve to air in. Have kept the value open for over an hour, however when I turn in the cold water in let and hot water outlet, water starts to drip.
Boiler is working fine, no issue...

Milwaukee Press Jaws Imperial vs. Metric Discussion Thread

I’m moving from USA to the UK and with my tools is my Milwaukee ProPress gun. I am under the assumption that I will need to leave the 1/2” 3/4” and 1” jaws in USA and buy new 15, 22, 28 jaws in the UK unless someone here might know if the imperial jaws will press metric fittings too?
Thanks in advance.

Running mdpe externally in rainwater pioe. Discussion Thread

Hi all.

Wondering if anyone has done this and if so what insulation did you use? I have about 1 metre that needs to run up from patio height to just above the damp proof course. The wras approved pipes are quite big and costly and I have lots of rainwater pipe I could use.

Cheers all.

Hope you are all doing well.
