Mother-in-law has booked my Xmas for me. Would like a new basin and W.C. installed. She has seen a Monobloc mixer that she likes that requires a min of 0.5 bar to operate. Is this likely given that there is only about six foot from the bottom of her loft mounted tank (Elson Type) and the tap outlet. Is there some kit available that can test pressure at tap outlet. All advice warmly received. 8)

Don't think fitting a kit to the outside tap is going to tell me the hot water pressure......or maybe I'm missing something!! 8)

Wash....car???? Isn't that what rain/ wives are for! Will try washing machine valve idea. Anything for an easy life. Thanks for info. 8)

Get a pressure washer to liven it up, before you know it the cars sparkling, the back fence has no green stuff on it, the path's light grey again, the cats soaking as are you and you cant hear the missus calling because of the noise! great stuff, earlier in a sunday morning the better.
