  1. They are just electrical resistance heaters which don't heat the stuff you want warm. They rely on public ignorance of science.
  2. I would say, "seriously rethink the Durisol part".
  3. Try sending it using your phone as a wireless hotspot. That should show if it is the email provider or the ISP who has problems.
  4. That is about 13,400 kWh/year. If you use 80% of that in 4 months (winter), that works out at ~90 kWh/day. That could be satisfied with a 5 kW heat pump, but one would probably have to go to an 8 kW to be on the safe side. That may change the installation cost.
  5. Shall see if I can make sense of it later, hard to read in the phone.
  6. Just make a new lid from plastic sheet stuck to some PU insulation. As Dave says, seen a lot worse, mine for a start.
  7. There is, in the spec sheet, only one temperature (A7) and one CoP. Is there a proper chart somewhere showing the CoP over a decent temperature range i.e. -15°C to +25°C?
  8. In your cock cage, again.
  9. Which flies in the face of decarbonising the UK economy.
  10. Are you sure. 15,000 kWh at £0.15/kWhe = £750 (this works out at £0.016/kWht at a CoP of 3) 45,000 kWhg at £0.04 = £1,800 This assumes that the ASHP delivers, on average, a CoP of 3.
  11. Time for Alice Cooper's Muscle of Love.
  12. You have to delete the original, including the @, and start again.
  13. That is to stop us all from correcting and clarifying what we have typed more than 30 minutes earlier. So @Nickfromwales, typing this instead of Simple answer is switch it on and leave it for 3-4 hours
  14. Reminds me of my youth.
  15. Cannabis. He smuggles them across the boarder most night to corrupt the Cornish youths. Last I heard he got 2 pasties and a cream tea for an eight. Purple Bude is the street name.
  16. Could you not just pop some weak bleach into the header tank, run the hot taps for a few minutes, leave for a few hours. Flush out the system for half an hour, then heat up the water. The presences of legionella bacteria in the water is not, in itself, a problem. It is when that bacteria is dispersed via water vapourisation, as in air conditioning units (where the problem comes from, not your daily shower) that there is a problem.
  17. Do you know what sensor the Shelly uses? I suspect it is a DHT22.
  18. Is the Banksy worth more than the boat. At least Robin Gunningham did not have to go far to paint it.
  19. I do that with the arc wielder, touched a can of WD40 that a dickhead workmate put on the wielding bench when I had the mask down.
  20. Have caught my fingers a couple of times. Does smart a bit.
  21. That looks dangerous. Shall order myself one.
  22. Damp wood maybe. Overused disk. Only using the outer edge of the disk. Pushing too hard. Assuming that the grain makes no difference. I also remove the guard when I have the abrasive disk on. Actually usually remove the guard on the small angle grinders. I have been using angle grinders since I was a kid to sort things out, so hard to say what I actually do, it is just second nature to me.
  23. New blades don't much, blunt ones do. Or the jiggler/shaft on the saw is worn. I use an angle grinder for just about everything I can.
  24. I find that an unbelievable figure. I will have to look into it. Today, at work, I weighed the waste, worked out at about 25% of perfectly good food was thrown away. The really staggering thing is milk. Probably 75% thrown away. In the olden days, we would have just rejugged it. Not allowed to do that now. We also wrap our cutlery in paper napkins. A good 20% get picked up by customers, not used, and we have to unwrap them and wash them, then wrap them again. We are, according to a certificate, 'carbon neutral'.
