Cleaning
Quote:
I found out by accident the cleaner used to brighten up alloy will work much better. I use alloy cleaner as sold by Tool Mart at £3.75 a litre.

It will NOT remove staining where bleach has broken down and entered the surface of the glossy acryilic (neither will Tarbuster) So if they have been used for a year or two on a regular basis there is no way anything will remove the marks. |

The most common problem with Nova units is breakage of the water inlet or outlet pipes. If this happens to anyone else maybe give Novocrylics, the manufacturer, a ring. Breaking these off, especially the little water inlet pipe, has happened many many times - they should be able to supply a repair kit, replacement pipe + cement. Then it's just a matter of carefully drilling out the stump & putting the new pipe in.
