Tracy - the John Lewis one at £399 is 3.92kWhr per cycle, the £599 one is 2.4kWhr per cycle at about 10p per unit, that would be £200/15p saving plus...
... The John Lewis unit is the JLTDC01 - several have gone through a friend's white goods shop. He gets them very cheap as JL returns; not faulty, but customer...
... Not in the domestic world. Commercial HP driers have been around since the 80's Domestic machines work simply by blowing hot air through the laundry....
I had cause to drain down our thermal store yesterday, to replace the immersion that had sprung a leak (crack opened up in pressing). Having closed all the...
ouch, disappointing ... two thoughts - have two in series always (more to go wrong, of course, but at least the leaks are not floods, so one can help while...
1500 is a LOT of cycles... And it assumes no leccy price hikes, no repairs or maintenance and so on. Nick Nick Laurie PC Repairs nwlaurie@... Skype:...
I did a quick Google on Impvan's information and found the following, "For some home owners, tumble dryers are one of the most important users of electricity....
I think to put 2 in series is a waste of time - I'd likely just end up with both of them leaking ! The pump valve was trully amazing, I could hear it bleeding...
aye ... 'though it also ignores any performance differences - eg: Carl's note about less shrinkage ... ie: shorter payback if less clothes ruined !! BTW,...
... yep, of course, but at least you'd be able to use one to help replace the other, without having to drain the whole system and replace all the inhibitor -...
Hi John I am still in boat mode and am relieved from house duties.... Sea cocks on boats are kept watertight by the use of a thick water resistant grease. ...
Hi Chris, it doesn't really help. Replacing either will have pressure behind it from one side. Remember there is a head of pressure in the system. Shutting all...
we bought some Plumbers Mait a while back, and on opening it sometime later found it had shrivelled a lot & become inflexible ... IIRC (?) it we revived it by...
Maybe use a gas valve instead of one designated for water? e.g. http://www.bes.co.uk/products/029.asp#9619 I'd guess these are made to a higher standard than...
I agree Peter, grease would have been better. I went in search of my petroleum grease used for putting on vehicle O rings, but couldn't find it. I knew where ...
aye ... was assuming no header tank (thermal stores don't have to have them - some have just an expansion tank on top) - there are so many variations on these...
Tim, you would think so, but sadly not. The 22mm valves we have are exactly the same as the 22mm gas valve we also have, the only difference is the gas one has...

John How about contacting the manufacturer? Presumeably it is the stem seal that leaks. Used to be stuffed with hemp and Boss White (I think). Modern approach...
More slab problems! Having sorted the flatness problem last month our floor fitter is still unhappy that the moisture levels in our slab are too high: 4-5% For...
... PS: the JL web-site gives figures for typical annual power consumption - 284.1kWhr per annum at 3.92kWhr/cycle for the £399 machine => 72.5 cycles per...
with the UFH on, seems very odd ... maybe there's a damp problem ? ... maybe the meter's not right ? ... maybe the fitter has shares in Sika ? ... how about...

How are you measuring the moisture content? Have you tried putting down a 1m sq of polythene taped at the sides overnight and seen if any water condenses? I...
hmm, is the place reasonably vented - if the heating was on only part time, and the floor cooled, maybe it might attract condensation ? Maybe things will have...
