Hi Ed
Can I thank you publicly for your sealed system FAQ. Having read it I now know the basics of how the system operates - e.g. 10 times more than I did before. I am now a wiser man & I appreciate the time you must have spent writing it. -- Dave The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |

I guess a good number of readers are also looking for a simpler which style "buy this or that model" kind of guide which would probably be impossible to write in any kind of generic way. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Which did a test on these a couple of years ago. Very difficult to get an unbiased/accurate recommendation from a trade source.

Which did a test on these a couple of years ago. Very difficult to get an unbiased/accurate recommendation from a trade source. Even our own Geoff can't really give percentage failures. He could if he know the installed base percentages. However his results would also be skewed by the installed base that the larger service companies have to deal with. All things considered The Potty suprima has a very large installed base but even so they have a huge fault rate. -- Ed Sirett - Property maintainer and registered gas fitter.
