I use a TOP12 in the summer and TOP8 in the winter. Both do the job fine.

Hi all,

the diffuser on my bottom drain is a few years old now and seems to have clogged up a fair bit - any good ideas for improving the situation without me getting wet! Is a brush on a pole going to work?

It is causing some back pressure now so will need to be sorted soon.

Hi Jules, Not quite sure how we are going to get a tea room in there!! May be I need to think bigger and incoporate the pond expansion into my design. Also puzzling about what to put on the roof.

Do I use bicarbonate soda or caustic soda please? (is there a difference?)

I have read that you can put it in the dishwasher - has anyone tried this?

Any other ideas?

TIA. Ian.
