Beautiful Job Derek
Thanks for taking time to do these Videos
Crikey...... another brilliantly explained video.!!!! Many thanks 😊
Thank GOD someone else has finally said outloud that copper olives are easier to tighten than brass olives. rgds Don
Thank you so much for uploading.
Very useful video , thank you Derek
Thanks Derek great video 👍
Have you tested the cistemiser scale reducer that you add tablets too used to see them alot but not so much anymore
Massive help keep doing the vids 👍 thanks
Great video, the water our way is so hard it comes out the tap in lumps. Scale reducers and softeners are a must.
What area do you live in
@@tomkatgastraining Lincolnshire, too much limestone around
can it be installed on plastic pipes ?
Fitted one of these last year to the incoming mains, I would say it maybe reduces scale slightly but being 'daan saaf' 1:29 ;) it doesn't really do a lot!
What test results for these? I can't see them having any useful effect. Just a £50 con IMO.
🤘😎🤘
Thanks Derek, So totally useless after 200ppm? Where does this leave us with a Combi MI's (should a total hardness over 125ppm, an inline scale inhibitor should be fitted).
They are great between 100 and 200 ppm (so they tell me ) but after a constant figure over 200 ppm should have a water softener
missing Scotland off that map. it has the softest water in the UK. I notice the difference when I am back home in Bolton. the taste is harder.
Isn’t it a minimum of 1m from the appliance?
I haven’t read or been told that. Been told and read as close to the appliance as possible because the longer the run the more chance the molecules can bind together.
brought a few of the trappex the orange coloured label and they leaked spoken to the supplier and they had a few of them come back for that reason. Kind of put me off that brand suppose I fell for them being cheap and paid the price!
They leaked through the side nothing to do with the nuts and olives ect
They are absolutely useless and in the real world make no difference. We’ve stopped fitting them and have had plates block on the domestic side even with them fitted. In my own home I’ve fitted a water softener and it’s the ONLY thing that works. Price tag puts people off but what price is a new washing machine, dishwasher, kettles, irons taps, boilers etc etc. I’m in Southampton
Was it magnetic or electrolytic?
4:43 "it insulates element in your kettle so you need lot more energy boil your water" - but where will this energy go then? Conservation of energy law should still work.
It is said a kettle is 25% less efficient with lime scale on it because the lime scale is an insulator and stops the energy transferring into the water and thus needing to be on longer just like a boiler with sludge in it.
@@tomkatgastraining I believe it takes longer but ultimately consumes same amount of energy. 25% of that energy cannot just disappear.
@@edfx a kettle is not regulating so if it takes longer then dose it not use more energy?
@@tomkatgastraining Youre right. As it takes longer time to boil, meanwhile kettle loses heat into the room.
@@edfx that’s what makes them use more energy the heat escapes quicker than the insulated element puts in so takes longer to boil so more energy.
Quality mate 💪🎉❤
