That may depend on whether they are made of plastic or plated brass.

Mine are the latter and are not glued into the pipe but rather sealed by the grout around them. I can see no reason to glue...

Woodbe you are forgetting Gooner is from Victoria and we in SA know how possessive Victorians are of their water (and ours too)

I would maybe consider using a Hebel block. Lightweight, very easy to cut to any shape, come in a variety of sizes, can be waterproofed and easily tiled.

I agree it is worth investigating. 17520ml per year infact. Nearly enough for a home brew.

20ml is a tablespoon full. These meters must be accurate. I suggest it is evaporation in the cisterns.

I recently ran a new sewer and the at the deepest point near the front boundary it was 2.32m deep. I am in an old near city area. Your 3 metre excavation will surely be an issue.

I would be...

Yes, it does seem to be a contradiction but many homes these days probably can get by with 50 degrees preset as they have dishwashers that heat water and use only warm water in the laundry.

Yes, you will need to up the temperature of the water to the kitchen.

Rinnai will talk to your plumber on the phone and get the serial number of the unit and his license number then give the...

Hi Mum.

I am a little unsure what layout you have and I think posting a floor plan of all the areas under consideration would assist in getting suggestions. Perhaps a realistic indication of how...

How can it be different with storage hot water? The water that has cooled in the pipes has to be discharged and replaced with hot water before you get hot water again. Besides the water would cool...

Thanks for the kind words Jags.

No have not started using the underfloor heating which is less than 600 watts if my memory serves me correctly. I have done testing on it and it works great but it...

Just about all wrapped up with this marathon project. The shower screen has finally been installed after a couple of serious hiccups with measurements. No profit for them in this job for sure.

I have 2 controllers on my Rinnai 26. Kitchen is set to 60 degrees and bathroom is playtime. For showering I like about 41degrees but the women use 43degrees and 46degrees.

Have you had an engineer's report that the balcony can support another 100mm of concrete loaded on it?

Assuming it is able to, then I would be looking at putting another layer of concrete with...

I would not do it. Masonite is NOT a suitable substrate for ceramic tiles, and so should be removed.

Are the supply transformers mounted the minimum required clearance from the recessed luminaire?

Personally I could live with only a 20mm difference over 6 metres length of room. Really think you would never notice it. I sloped my bathroom that much over 3 metres and you would never believe it...

Whilst there is no regulated distances between bath and walls, 100mm is the recommended minimum for ease of cleaning and appearance.

I believe it will also make installation easier in regards to...

Information I was provided in SA regarding Instantaneous HWS was that if the unit comes with from the factory with a preset limit of 50 degrees then it was not essential to install a tempering valve.

Beautiful job Jags. I like the layout and think it would solve Vennos needs to a tee.

What about this one?

Not sure if it is free? Thought he was implying it was 15% cheaper than the utility charges. Is that due to the running cost of the air pump?

Would be great for daytime use but most of our heating...

That is a big sucker of a shower. My preference would be to sacrifice the larger shower (unless your into shower gymnastics) and add a toilet. I really wonder how many people shower with their...

Which bath is it ? I assume you mean a corner bath rather than a rectangular as Posh make both in the Solus range I believe. Is it a spa?

A beautiful job you have done there Border Boy. A lot of similarities in colours and fittings to ours. Did you seal the glass panels on the shower? Are they difficult to keep clean?
