The circuit switch is the cupboard in or near your laundry on in the cupboard behind the door.

Power Failure, Tripped at the meter board

  • First Check meter board

My shower may be blocked – how do I clean the drain?

The tile in the drain is removable by gently lifting it with a screwdriver on one edge. Often hair builds up in the grill underneath causing poor drainage.

My shower head is blocked/partially working or has water coming out of the top – what is the problem?

After time the rubber ‘plugs’ to the large shower heads can become calcified and blocked. Gently rubbing or squeezing the plugs will remove the blockage and that outlet will again allow water through. This is also the case for the rubber ‘plugs’ that are not working.
