We’ve had the Salamander booster pump recommended for our shower, which runs at 10 litres per minute or less. The Salamander (allegedly) runs at 12 lpm consistently. Some reviews say the pump is...
Looking for a workround. I have most of my documents saved in QuarkXpress, as I've been using it for 30-plus years. Now, having linked my Mac to iCloud, I can SEE my documents on my iPad, but I can't...
