  1. Ah ok. So he did actually work on the cold water storage tank, in which case if it was full of dead sparrows and next doors cat there's a good chance when he drained it down it did drag a load of Marmite into the cylinder. That could account for the poor water quality. But it should clear after you've run a couple of baths. Monitor it closely and I wouldn't bath in it until you know it's 100%

    Ok thanks. I've drained it dry and then let water run through it so fingers are tightly crossed for when Mrs T has her bath tonight.
    The radiator with the non replaced TRV and closed lockshield is also cold in the middle and bottom, so that's at least 2 radiators. I'll double check the rest.
    Pity you're not in the NW or you'd have a job here! The weather's good too so you could sell some ice cream as well.:cool:

  7. I can't even think how you'd begin to get it all out. Didn't it just clump together everywhere?

  12. We get so many more daylight hours down here that it makes popping down to Portsmouth a positive joy.

  18. no it broke down into tiny tiny fibres.i took out fill valves from 3 WCs and 2 shower heads and let the water run.meanwhile with a fine sieve cleaned the tank.it didn't help that the customers first language wasn't English.After two whole days I had got rid if most of it.
    As a thank you the customer gave me a home made apple strudel,the fact that it was frozen and shoved through my letterbox didn't deter her efforts.it was a hot day which help the defrosting and accounted for the mess on the carpet.
