Mains Water Pressure. What is "typical"?

You need tagging.

Another pervo that needs tagging.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Ron Lowe saying something like:

It's 10bar around here, but the main ressy is on a hillside a fair ways up, probably 300' or more. Then there's the pumps... Of course, the Council could put pressure regulators on the system, but they'd rather keep their employees busy by having to repair the mains blow-outs every few weeks. Utterly daft.

Utter bollocks.

If you've been fantacising about big blokes with hairy beards, in dresses, you really do need help.

Or a Norwegian fisherman.

Must have 4 pages in the book :-)

Adam, FFS I am trying to have a night cap here and my key board does not like the spray. It copes, but it takes a week out of the shower to dry out.

Ha! Doubtless a big potted Aspidistra on the front cover, too...

Help? So you help people get these blokes. This one needs tagging.

Now run along and get some kleenex and tell nursie you need new sheets...

You are right, Maxie may need these things. What a man! And he plays in a Paddy band dressed like that as well.

He made a song for you

Well the taps I just bought are rated up to 6 bar so I'd certainly have trouble. You include a turbine on the incoming mains to generates a bit of electricity everytime you use the taps.

Very high. High enough to burst a defective hot water cylinder and LD polyethylene pipe. Is the reservoir on a hill nearby or does the council keep the pressure high by pumping? 5 or 6 bar is much more reasonable.

Is that what we call an Ajax valve?
