I'll fit some sort of valve and turn the pump down, need 40 psi max

Sadly it isn't as easy as that, if it was plumbers wouldn't fit water pressure reducing valves. I actually looked into how they work, in case ours here packs up. tis all to do with a spring and a diaphragm.

Should take the soap scum off the shower enclosure and the skin off the bather quite nicely I reckon. ;-)

Frightening it was daughters 50th yesterday !!😕

I did manage to get up early enough to clean out and restraw the hen hut. It was still in the shade by the time I had had brekker and did the job. We then went of to Castres for the monthly big shop and a nice lunch. Blinking hot it is/was. Last...

That's a heck of a lot of pressure. 1 to 1.5 bar is normal in the UK at your kitchen tap. Peeps who buy their white goods in the UK and then plumb them in in France sometimes have problems as, if there is no pressure reducer fitted from the main...

I was going to say that our Potterton Apollo that was new when W and her ex bought the house in about '84, and is still going strong. (I moved into it in 93) And our gas consumption for it is less than any boiler I ever had in my 1928 style...

I am currently hoping that I can fix the electrical problem(s) with ours when I get home and that we don't end up having to get a new one. I do wonder if it ain't bust why you are looking to fix it? Or swap it out? Especially with the economic...

Well the not being able to sleep and having to have cold showers, I vaguely remember what that was like in my youuff! But yep, keeping the house cool enough to live and sleep in is an art form, especkly as we don't have hair kon.:):)

Fraid it may well be exactly that. :( Even the steam cleaner ain't shifted the very last of the stain and now there is a light coloured ring around all but one o em. At least I'll only have to do one plank for each, I think, and they ain't long ones.

This has stopped me doing the hen hut. I'll have to get up extra early tomorrow morn to do it.

Going to check psi rating for gas hot water system If I run it though a smaller pipe first then into the system it should lower the pressure I'm thinking The pump has a regulator for pressure so I'll turn that down Should have a nice shower with...

As I said earlier I have no 👁️🦌 But I goggled and came up with this https://www.caravanrvcamping.com.au/caravan-water-pumps-buyers-guide So maybe it will be ok. the PSI seems to be the closed end pressure it cuts off and its the open flow you...

Blimey imagine the bloody pad for that one. Must **** out like a bloody fountain.

Is it adjustable then? Start low, then wait for a pipe to blow off/leak then turn it back a bit :D J Edit 50psi is alot out of a hose. Are you sure your eyeballs are seeing it right?

Water for shower and taps in caravan

Too much pressure ? Prob dial it down a bit

I have just opened my £1.50 bottle of beer:vb-drink:. I might be a pleb sometimes:D. J

Temperature at the moment is 34 in the shade loverly, I and the W just done a bottle of Conti Pacena Gran dessert and very nice and cheap from Euro Spin , even a proper cork 🍸🍸

No 👁️🦌. J

To pump what ??

While the eggspurts are on ?? Is a 50 psi pump too much for a caravan / campervan ??

We ran out 2 times last year if you remember I found a leak in the tank so applied a new water prophing coat internally two days work been great so far now down to a 1/4 tank q

Oh we dont smell, well we both may but we dont notice;). You still buy your water in if you run out though? We have a pool which I could easliy turn off and pump back to the house if I wanted. Cant remember last time it rained:(. J

I would build a 20 cubic tank underground and fill it from the mains in the wintertime problem solved

Yes no problem with doing it, except the last drilled wells near us have dried up (not deep enough). When the garage pit was dug we got water in the hole at 2m, when we dug the pool we got water at 2m (different areas of our property). We used...

Can't you drill your own well, or is it not-allowed/not a suitable site for one?

We haven't run out of water this year yet and i have used about 15,000 lt on the veg plot so far, thunder storm's predictions for next week end with about 50mm fingers crossed if not delivery from the fire bregad, and I don't smell yet 😂😂 not...

Afternoon folks:). Well the painting came to a bit of an abrupt halt. Water went off Tuesday evening. Its been back on for a few hours but very sparodic, supposed to be 1 on 1 off. We thought we were doing so well this year, oh well :oops:. Too...
