I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

It’s not my day today 😀

finished the boiler off and come to fire it up no oil flow either someone’s forgot to order some or someone’s nicked it which do you think the builders sticking to 😀

and then my testo decides to crap itself only just come back from service

I like the lockshield valve on leg to exp vessel - great!

What's the mini shock arrester for?
 
so just goes to drain how are they handling the back flow risk?

Do you mean for the CW supply or drainage? The machine empties into a settlement tank and then into a Drainmajor which will pump it up about 5m to a soil stack in the building. CW wise, I'm undecided what fluid risk it is at the moment. It doesn't actually hold any water as such, it just fills at a steady rate from the top of the drum and discharges out of the bottom through an open waste. Its not possible for it to over fill into the machine itself as the water just runs straight out of it. Id like it to be CAT 3, but it might be CAT 4

Both, the drum

It uses aggregate and chemicals, but they don’t mix with the water before going into the mixing drum, they both have separate supply lines so I can’t see any risk of contamination. I’d say that there is less risk than you would get with say a dish washer or washing machine, I might just fit a double check valve. The other option is an RPZ valve but they are pricey and not so easy to get hold off.
 
Replacing a pump in a pressurisation unit this morning, got to site and the bottom pan is nearly rusted through! Couldn't get spray paint in blue so white will have to do 🙄
