Re: Small plumbing problem....help please.

Is the water hot or cold? There are 2 expansion valves. The cold is rated at a lower pressure than the hot.

Best to get a plumber, as the work will need to be licensed.

Sorry, but I don't understand the "isolation" thing.

We live in a BIG city. If we want to go somewhere, we do the same as most people in the world do.....we get on a plane a go there.

Re: WA V QLD

Hi Kips

Sorry if it sounded like I was "having a go" at Rockingham area. I wasn't.

For me, it is just too far away from the CBD, just the same as Butler, or Yanchep.

That's all!!
