Yea, some of it has went downhill must admit! :smile:
Not really my Guinness - as I am from NI, but it is good though!
Seriously, I drink a lot of filtered tap water as it is so good, even unfiltered here.

I dive in Scotland quite a lot and always have trouble getting rid of the soap after a shower.......i don't tend to drink our water too often as i think its been recycled too many times for my liking.....

The water we drink, - from whatever source, has likely been recycling through people's bodies for thousands of years - or even part of people's bodies as we are supposed to be mostly water, when you think of it!
Just as long as it doesn't contain anything else!
 
I do love this forum, its fascinating how help on fixing a tap can turn into one about diving in a lock, the quality of stout and guiness and showering afterwards, and now where the water we drink today was being urinated a 1000 years ago......marvelous im wondering if by page 5 we will be disscussing which comet it came to earth by in the first place lol
 
Quick question, I've had times where I've used the revived kit on taps, put new body in, everything's fine so I leave. customer rings back 5 mins later and the taps won't open anymore? What's happened?
has this probably 5 times now
 
Drill it out…
Get a grinder and chop the knob off, replace the valves and knobs…
Invest in new taps…

It’s your call!

If you mean the new tap works won't open & let water out, then that's simply because the new works are not deep enough & came apart when someone turns the new works tight down.
Use the brass spacers supplied with some of the reviver kits, or just replace whole tap.
