Re: Tabaluga's

Changes to WA’s plumbing rules are now in effect, with further reforms to roll out next year.

Building and Energy has published an industry bulletin about the first stage of amendments to the Plumbers Licensing and Plumbing Standards Regulations 2000.

Among other changes, the general public is now allowed to carry out certain basic plumbing tasks at their homes. A homeowner or occupier, or someone doing the task for them without being paid, can legally undertake work limited to:

  • maintenance, repair or replacement of a shower head;
  • maintenance or repair of a tap, other than a thermostatic mixing tap;
  • replacement of a cistern washer;
  • replacement of a water filter cartridge; and
  • clearing a blocked fixture or waste pipe by using a plunger.

“This change gives consumers the option of conveniently carrying out certain basic tasks in their own homes if they feel confident to do so,” Building and Energy Acting Executive Director Peter Stewart said.

“Consumers should note that they can only undertake certain types of plumbing work. They must use a licensed plumber for all other plumbing tasks. Incorrect or uncertified plumbing work can cause property damage and compromise public health and safety.”

Re: Tabaluga's

yes, or regulators tell you if its leaking . I re- welded  a heat exchanger at place years ago, was made to use 4013 shit satincraft sticks (GP rods that are very sensitive to dirt) only did the one run, had a pin hole, wouldnt hold pressure over 24hrs , would have worked tho, things like that usually block themselves up lol was only hot water ha ha. anyway I had to touch the weld up @Bill16
