Lo pH water corrosion
Has anyone knowledge or experience of a Mains Low pH water supply in Moray Scotland. I appear to have corrosion on my mainly hot water ( not heating ) copper pipes. The house has only been supplied by mains. Any help would be appreciated.
EXTERIOR SOIL STACK PIPE
Hi, My vertical soil stack pipe that carries the toilet waste from the upper levels of my house to the underground drainage system is seeping water from all the joints. All the seals look corroded and need replacing. Also the joint at the ground floor window level is slowly being pushed apart. Its pushing outwards. There is no bracket fixing it to the wall. The pipe is not solid in the ground, it moves. Could the joint that is pulling apart just be fixed by fixing a bracket to the wall and/or should the pipe be moving in the ground and if not how does that get fixed? I have been told that I should ask a plumber. Would be grateful for any advice. Thanks.

Fireplace back boiler removal
Just moved into my new house. It’s Oil heating and has an open fire. Im not sure if previous owner used the fire. I’m getting new fireplace installed and have been told to remove back boiler before installation. Is this something a plumber needs to do or is this a specialist job. Does it need to be completely taken out or is it just a matter of disconnecting it?

Overflow in loft tank
Question for any proper plumbers. Daughters loft tank overflow occasionally runs. I have replaced the ball valve & set it well below the overflow. However we notice that every so often it still overflows. I noticed it when i ran hot & cold in kitchen to clean a couple of rollers & today it happened when she ran a bath. Any ideas? Some sort of back flow? Its not all the time. TIA for any ideas / answers.
Outside hot water

can I install a bath onto walled tiles?
I've a wet room all tiled but I want to put a p bath in under the shower onto the walls. I don't want to have to redecorate, just install the bath. One plumber said he would seal it ato the tiles, another said you have to fix it to the wall not the tiles. He went on to say taking one row of tiles off may damage the next tiles and it'd be best having "mermaid" bath panels on the wall to fix the bath to. Which plumber is right? Thanks
Outside Tap query
If an outside tap is already fitted with a double check valve in it then will it require any additional valves for the pipework inside for safety/prevent freezing?
