Honest! There's no need with Anhyfix onto Anhydrite.
They state priming is recommended simply because it won't do any harm (and it covers for dust etc, and sells more primer!) but all it does is slow down the water absorbtion from adhesive to screed, which with Anhyfix doesn't improve the final bond as it normally does with cement.

As always: if in doubt - prime it out.
All I'm saying is there is no specific need.

I would prime all screeds personally. I agree from a compatibility perspective anhyfix does not cause an issue but it will help act as a dust suppressant. Prime plus or similar diluted 2 or 3 to 1 with water. Leave overnight to dry and tile. No need for ditra .

How did you get on with the unit? I am thinking of buying the same one. Just started a new thread with C/A screed issues.

I decided to make my own in the end and followed the advice and it worked a treat. Think all in cost me £30 so was worth the risk. Must be a massive mark up on these units for what is really a very simple design. Will post some pictures when i get a minute
