    Great video! How often does one need to do this type of maintenance? I mean it probably depends on the minerals in the water, but I am curious what folks are experiencing. We are considering this type of shower faucet for our remodel, but one manufacturer says to soak it in vinegar for 24 hours (meanwhile our house water is shut off for that whole time!) Thanks.

    @LolekBezBolkaShow 5 місяців тому

    I have a very similar unit in my bathroom and I have an extra question. You mentioned in the beginning of the video that the water pressure knob was loose - mine is acting a bit similar + it doesn't always completely shut off the water and I have to use a bit more force to turn it all the way into the closed position than I actually feel comfortable to do (I'm afraid that I'll break it off). Does it generally require just a clean from the limescale build-up, or is there some kind of a gasket inside that may require a replacement too? What's your opinion on this?

    • @DIMTips

  • @Dermuu
    @Dermuu 6 місяців тому

    It's rusted out because it's probably been been cemented in all the way down. They normally advise to use 50% of the depth using gravel 30mm size and the remaining depth using postcrete. This way the water can drain away and the bollard will not retain the water. I've had mine installed for 2 years and still looks good as day 1.

I took the old plug to the plumbers who told me it's large & there is no such thing as a 'standard size' plug hole, shall i just keep trying until I find the right fit? Thanks 🇬🇧

    You need to ensure that the Low Voltage side of the transformer is totally isolated from the 230V supply and you cannot do that in a Consumer Unit best to use a separate DIN rail enclosure for the transformer maybe next time as this will fail an EICR immediately
