Rothenberger Plumb Freeze Eco Pipe Freezing

[smtplumbing]

Well was not a happy chap yesterday.

so I bought the above item months ago from a member on here. Now the first time i went to use it it would not get below -15 so would need freeze a 15mm pipe but i thought must of been running water ( in a hotel)

My Saturday shift in middle of nowhere freeze 22mm that the stopcock and snapped shut could not find the toby outside not this was to allow the joiner to get on with this kitchen fit out, Set the machine up 15mins go by only down -5 30 mins later down to -8, hour later down to -12 . had to go to the merchants 40 mins away buy a freeze kit other 40 mins back the freeze machine was sitting at -16 not good. removed the freeze machine froze the pipe within 5 mins done changed over.

So why the hell is the machine doing this because it wasted time, fuel and my temper lol it has water in it and i used the rofrost paste. do these need serviced?

Really want to get this fixed i have a heat only change over tomorrow and was going to use the above to change over the boiler that will not be happening.

Ive arrested a few so I don't need a lecture regarding law and standards.
I have massive respect for soldiers. My in law lost both legs and part of his hand by an ied 2 or so years ago and is lucky now to be alive. aiming for the paralympics sailing team. (Steven palmer - reme)

I joined the police with 3, years ago.
2 were sound and 1 an unhinged idiot who was discharged after 5 month. A total unhinged idiot.

Many crimes commited in the military/by the military can be tried either way. There are no hard and fast rules on that and where needed they refer to CPS.
Naturally they need to be strict because of the type and nature of some candidates.
Is itnthe tails that wags the dog in that regard. I.e - they need these strict rules because of the average candidate
Not to stereo type but your average enterant wasnt cut out to be a doctor or solicitor or decision maker.
But your assumption that military or ex military are in someway more honest because of the position is a notion bordering on incredulous.

Ex forces in custody has never been higher accoring to official figures
How honest were they ?

once people become personally offended and start writing defensively all content gets lost among the posturing.

Shall we just agree to disagree Phil and shake hands on the matter? I'm sure neither of us wants to spoil the forum further with our personal disagreements.

I'm also sure that both of us have better things to do with our time than bicker between ourselves about this.

Im saddened you see it as bickering, merely challenging your comments re honesty and you view of honesty & ex armed forces and that in some way you are more honest.
I dont think others probably see it as bickering either, just a polite clash of view points, where others are free to contribute or avoid the thread...

TBH it Was an interesting conversation and a break from the norm, even if you disagree.

regarding ex forces sitting in her majesty's hostels, one needs to consider what they have been doing in order to find themselves in the joint. I dont have the stats that Ray loves to use, but I have been reading about the inability of those with ptsd to cope with life outside the forces leading to a fall from grace. Prehaps we could consider that before commenting on honesty etc on this forum.

So as you have stated you cant back that up regarding PTSD.
There arent figures for that. So how do you qualify that?

Very intellectual
You dont like the thread? ? - no bodies asking you to look. There has been no nasty Ness before your last post

Calm down chaps please and refrain from bad language.

In the interests of keeping the peace I think it may be best to close the thread here before anyone goes too far. Really don't want to be slapping a sanction on anyone.
