Did anyone watch Cowboy Trap last night? Made me laugh... one of the major huge "issues" that the plumber had done wrong was keep the bathroom tap (on a refurb) tank fed - he was installing a non dual flow basin mixer tap! Which the customer purchased.
They made a huge issue out of how it was tank fed and this was incorrect and how disgusting it was that this cowboy plumber was letting the family brush their teeth with tank fed water - and he was definitely going to make them ill!
Do they not realise that 90% of british homes are plumbed up like this and it is nothing unusual. More so, the customer provided the materials, so how on a non dual flow tap is he going to cope with an unbalanced supply without all kinds of bodges (prv's and check valves) to change it to mains fed.
They said "the shower was plumbed in with safe mains cold water" however this shower was pumped - so that seems unlikely - and even if it was - do they not realise where their hot water comes from?! The same bl**dy tank!!
Admittedly the guys finishing was appalling - but his plumbing seems to be OK!
OK rant over - makes me angry when they try to make a program from nothing and dont get their facts right giving us all a bad name in the process - and misleading other people watching.
