Flooded again due to faulty connection (entire ground floor)six months to fix
Leak from downstairs toilet. (3 rooms affected)
Garden pond constantly leaking, unable to find leak, pond eventually removed
Motor Home, water tank leaked all over van
Leak on roof, had to replace roof linings
Another leak on roof. had to sort out cupboards
Now this week, water softener has a leak, filled up with water, cannott use
Dishwasher door not closing so didnt finish programme and leaked on floor.
this is over a period of time, first item at last home. the rest over last 8 years, there have been many more instances of water related disasters too many to list. i feel one or both of us will die by drowning!!
What do you reckon?

DJH its a container you fill with a special salt tablet to soften the water when you live in a hard water area. the water supply to the house runs through it and elps avoid limescale.
