Serpentine…


London at dusk from Park Lane

Serpentine is the name given to a subgroup of magnesium and minerals formed in Serpentinite rock.

It commonly crystallizes in the forms of masses, fibrous grains, and flat-like plates.

If you are experiencing low flow or water pressure issues, this could be due to mineral build up in your pipes.

Minerals refer to limescale or calcium build up in drains, pipes, or plumbing fixtures. The build-up can occur in shower drains for example due to the sodium, magnesium, and other chemicals found in hard water.

So, if you need to boost your pressure, get in touch to see how Cougar can help!

Don’t forget to place your Grundfos orders!


As I previously mentioned, the cost of materials, logistics and not least energy continue to rise.

As a result, Grundfos are increasing their prices on the 1st January, 2023.

There will be an average price increase of 4-7% across all product lines and services.

Orders placed in 2022, with a confirmed delivery in 2023, may be subject to 2023 prices.

Please don’t delay in placing your order(s) before the price increase.

I continue to thank you for your business and support.

A Pump is a pump or is it?


“My pump’s not sucking properly”.

Well, that’s because pumps don’t suck. They push.

If you are suffering a fall-off in pump performance, and assuming the pump is running normally (i.e., not overheating or making horrid noises) then the first place to look is on the inlet or suction side of the pump.

Take a look for any blocked filters or strainers, closed valves, blocked or restricted pipes.

If it’s boiler feed water or very hot liquids, then NPSHa (net positive suction head available) may be limiting performance.

In fact, check anything that can impede flow into your pump.

We once had a case where a pump was completely blocked by a pair of jeans!

If everything on the suction side is clear and as it should be, then obviously look on the discharge side for closed valves, blockages etc.

And if all that fails, give us a shout!
