We go full to one end then the other and no difference - its still on full.... The only solution we've come up with until Monday when someone will probably come out is to turn off the mains... not exactly the best solution when toilets are connected to the recycled water!!! Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so, is there an easy fix??? Cheers, Ian ICK So glad the building is over, never again. Loooove our house, but still not quite sure it was worth all of the stress they put us through!

Re: Help - our outside tap wont turn off! 3Nov 27, 2009 11:04 pm Try another handle if you have more than one. Our handles are different sizes so we have to make sure that we use the right one in the right tap. It's a bit of a long shot but the handle you are using may be too small and just turning inside the top of the tap. Or maybe try a neighbour's handle to see if that works? Otherwise, you will have to turn off the mains and wait until monday for a fix. Just use 1 toilet and flush it with buckets of water.

Good idea about the buckets of water. I just want a week to go by when we don't have issues. They aren't big issues, but I'm so over so many little things going wrong. Ah well could be a lot worse ICK So glad the building is over, never again. Loooove our house, but still not quite sure it was worth all of the stress they put us through! Re: Help - our outside tap wont turn off! 5Nov 27, 2009 11:21 pm Is it a spindle type tap ie more than one complete turn? or 1/2turn ? You don't know I guess?? Is it shaped more like a normal garden tap or something different ( ball valve/ gate valve)? Where you are coming from is where you are going to... that will depend on the kitchen bench depth. you'll have to specify it so it allows for both the tap and the sink 1 4390 7 3717 Brass or 2) Stainless steel made - which Kitchen tap is good for drinking.Brass kitchen taps in Australia contain lead… 0 4654 |
