The Amount of leaks Iv seen with copper due to people's stupidity is amazing plastic wouldn't have a hope.

One fella with a petrol strimmer with a metal blade chopped a filter in half. He knew it was there and still managed to chop it

I've also come across people dumping cut grass by the oil tank, the decomposting grass (acidic) eats through the aluminium filter........

Just found this thread and was wondering about the legalities of it. Do you ask the homeowners for permission to take photos in their home and then post them on the internet or how does it work?

That's a bit harsh. Genuinely I was just interested, I'm presuming it is legal as it's on boards so I imagine it has been checked out. Just asking that's all.

Is that all?? You have little to do in fairness... No persons property is identifiable in any of the photos in fact, in most cases we don't even know what part of the country its in.

I'm sorry if I have offended you somehow. It is a reasonable question.

One, I perfume you ment well.

We don't name and shame, mores the pity.
This tread is obviously well intended to share and highlight the unusual and sometimes dangerous aspects.
It's self regulated by ourselves and the MOD'S and so far it's all been ok and good. No complaints yet.

Not true. I recently posted a pic of a safety valve done wrong. Turns out the safety valves brother is on boards and recognised him from the pic. I got in bother

Totally agree and it could prevent harm to some person by highlighting dangerous installations.It is always useful for professionals to identify and publish poor workmanship. I as a consumer would welcome being advised of a problem in my home. Keep them coming!

You wouldn't want to mess with the valve brothers especially the safety side of the family...

It's the T and P crowd I'd be watching out for. They can really let loose if they get too hot and bothered. .

And this is what will happen to your qual pex that is to close to your boiler if your pump fails..

I remember that popular model,, then fire bird decided to put a module around it cause they kept rusting when left outside.

Why didn't they make the casing out of the same material as the name tag?
It's still in perfect condition

scudo2

A chimney off an ACV oil boiler in a scout hall. They then built a store room around it for canoes and tents. And also left a sheet of plywood against !!!

They thought the hole/gap in the far wall was good enough for ventilation and fumes to escape.

They didn't even try to compensate with a bit of chrome copper.

Or at the very least, box over it and paint the box..
It is astounding the level of shoddy work that some people will accept.
