1.TO OPEN WATER SUPPLY :

TURN ANTICLOCKWISE

Then open the kitchen tap to allow air (residue of some air in the shut off water pipes to "gurgle forth out of the kitchen tap into the kitchen sink) Then after the gurgling , the water will begin to flow without hissing. Run the bathroom taps as well

2.TO SHUT OFF WATER : TURN CLOCK-WISE

COLD WATER FLOW

Then open the kitchen tapnd let it flow until it stops in the kitchen

Go upstairs and run the 2cold taps , let them run dry as well

HOT WATER FLOW

The hot water in these period of houses in Badger FFarm are supplied (from a feeder tank in the loft) To drain the hot water you need to go upstairs and run bathroom hot taps on wash-hand basin plus bath till they dry out.This will take 15-18 minutes to complete.
