If you put isolators in a cupboard, how will anyone find them when they are needed? Will be like plumbers putting in NRV and the likes, then boxing the lot in.

Are, the 'other place'. Probably more tolerant as the member on here stopped using it.

Most if it. I did have an eye waterer that sounded heavy, but we about a yard long. That is my back yard, not the distance from my nose to fingertip.

Not sure if that kills the seeds. Still think salt is cheap way. I got some roundup from Tesco, was pretty cheap I seem to remember. Kills all the weeds in the carpark.

Salt maybe.

Call it half a second per metre of pipe run. Then you have a few seconds for the not so instantaneous water heater to stabilize the flow and temperature. Not sure about the ill effects, but they don't wash for decades. The plumbing in our house in France was dreadful. When we lived there in the mid 60's, they did not like being referred to as Dutch, was to close to Deutsch, but they have got over themselves with special smugness. I disagree. The only drawback is if you can't fit the F&E tank high enough. Apart from that, it is probably the easiest to install, apart from a SunAmp. Still the cheapest by quite a way.

Plus 7/24th of the meter rental and 5% VAT. I think electric showers give a saving as they beat less water. Why they are horrible. I probably have the lowest capital cost system there is, just a vented 200lt E7 cylinder, F&E tank, pump and a combined mixer tap. Probably less than £500. Yes you do.

You can have either depending on the type of 'cylinder' There is a fair amount about thermal stores, ASHPs and showers on here. Try the search function. It really comes down to the terminology used, it can be a bit confusing.

And Nessie is an eel that appears after drinking.

That may well be a bad thing.

I have some ESP8266s kicking about, they should do it too, and can have other sensors on them. May have to get my box of winter projects out. Thinking about the ceramic element, the SHC is not too great. Polyurethane is a lot higher, and easy to mould into interesting shapes. The I value is about half of ceramic, but that just means it takes twice as long to warm up and cool down, but at such a small scale, it is pretty irrelevant.

Yes, but not in a 4 inch, or 6 inch, pipe though the wall. I prefer Ed's comment These days it can be done pretty reliably wirelessly I think. Make them as matched pairs.

Let's put a stop to that then, say what you really think.

If you are sucking water up, is there a possibility that the pipe will crush if there is no water in it? Kind of thing that a small buckle would cause. Was it not W C Fields that said "Fish make love it and little boys do worse'

Does it stop becoming potable water if it goes into a vented tank?

I was wondering this too. The unit may have a respectable efficiency in isolation, but in practice it may not be that great. I do like the simplicity of the design, and easy to make one at home. It would also make fitting one easy.

Just been over to Wadebridge to the Self Distruction show (not worth the 4 quid to get in) and looked at a single room, through the wall, MVHR unit. Seemed to be a simple, reversible direction, fan with a not to intricately shaped ceramic element in a pipe. The idea is that it sucks air out the room, heats the china up, then reversed the airflow, drawing in cool air, that then extracts the heat out the crockery. I am sure, in the dim and distant past, we have collectively discussed these, but can't remember what the outcome was. Anyone know anything about them?

Cpd or OCD?

With the correct type screws it is not a problem. Ordinary wood screws probably cannot be used. Nails are used because the offer a better strength for a given diameter, are faster to inserts, and are cheaper. And then there are bolts, which is probably what you really mean.

That would only make a few seconds time difference surely.

I have a better one. I would change it, but my hands are full.

Whenever I type buildhub into my browser it seems to change the first few letters. I still remember @Construction Channel putting up a modified logo and seeing the replies that it was familiar. Still think it looked like Halfords. Lucky saddle. Now I think I shall search for grooming services.

If just comparing stored DHW against an instantaneous system, then it really just comes down to standing thermal losses and installation costs. I personally like DHW to be stored for when I want it, but if I could run a 20 kW instantaneous boiler, I suspect I would get the same shower experience.

Best, and probably the quickest way to find out, us to do some tests, now is a good time as it is not too cold. Should be able, over the next week, to find out how long it takes to increase the house temp by 1, 2, 3, and 4 K. And how much is lost during the night. This does take a bit of effort, but it will give you both the heating and cooling curves. From them you can calculate just about everything. Easier if you have a simple data logger, but a kitchen timer and a thermometer are good enough.
