Didn't someone email you a diagram a while ago?

yup

A pile of WHAT?

Just flicking through this again, and agree on the coil if wanting to reduce the A/F volume, but it would still be better, IMO, to have DHW via a ( second ) internal coil rather than a PHE. Accepting that @dogman has already got his buffer, this can now simply be for reference for other readers. The next issue would be down to the size of there vessel and just how much coil can be physically fitted inside it, so at that point you'd probably be into a 300L buffer. Not a problem afaic as its low temp storage so lower losses, and id want as much DHW preheat volume as possible ( to get as much of the bathing temp DHW from the HP as possible eg at the lower cost of producing it ). Current one I'm speccing will be getting a 250L buffer heated primarily by an ASHP, which will be providing DHW preheat for a Sunamp PCM58. Just finalising a decision on the best option for isolating the A/F and primary water bodies. 2 more paracetamol and ill crack it

Just work out what you need to know and bump the other thread

ill need some time to think of a reply to that one

Both charge off PV as happily as the other as a kW of input is a kW of input and always will be. The units are sized in kWh capacity so its black and white. From my discussions the newer types, with the immersions nigh-on direct to the PCM, are pretty much a kW in = a kW stored, so for a rough eg a 9kW cell, regardless of type, should take between 3 and 3.5 hours at 3kW PV output to fully recharge. A gas boiler could charge either cell type, with the correct design and execution. @oranjeboom FYI I have two enquiries where the houses will be all electric all Sunamp. Both utilising the PCM58 with immersions so no ASHP / gas / oil / other. Both, however, will have substantial PV arrays to fortify grid ( economy ) electricity. Don't discount this option as its certainly very appealing in a low energy home

Tres bien.

The one to whack the hardcore under your bathroom floor?

How sad

Thats you perfectly safe for the foreseeable.

Try saying Kent really fast

Deffo. Just be very sure to bury it in plenty of fines, and not to dent or distort it. Arrow straight will help but if you do get stuck you can hire a petrol driven hydraulic winch that'll pull it through. Oh, and ~60-70mm duct minimum.

They send a shiver down my spine tbh, and I'm too aware that they would literally twist you in half before stopping........well they wouldn't stop tbh. To see guys poking shovels in there with their hands on the grips makes me wince, but yet not a single story of anyone ever getting mutilated has burnt my ears. . Curiosty says "go look on YouTube" but the other part of me that wants to go to sleep soon says FECK THAT ! One of the worst site injuries I can recall was done by the humble plasterers trowel.

Steak was nice though.

Took my missus out after what seemed like an age of us just not getting to go anywhere. Decided to go for shandy and drove. Found a nice car park with loads of cameras and thought tidy, vans safe here. Get back at 11:30 pm to find the entrances to the car park chained up and a guy saying "oh, they lock this place up after 11 on Fridays". WHERE WAS THE FACKING SIGN THAT SAYS THAT YOU BASTARDS !!!!!!!?!?!?!?!? 45 min wait for a £15 taxi ride home.

There's no way I'm joining in this one. I know my limits

Cheers you barsteward. I've just seen a cut off saw, that I didn't know I wanted until I saw it going for £30 a couple of miles from me, and offered a bid on it. "Shiny!" . Thought I'd be safe looking at items in Cornwall, but no, one for sale in the next town over from me. Damnit

"Mint sauce anyone?"

Baxi, Vaillant, Worcester Bosch, or similar are good, any thing other needs serious scrutiny. Also need to know how much this boiler has had allocated to it so you dont get a bag of shit for megabucks and BB has had it for a song.

Yup, but none that'll cut a 7" skirting board upright, which is a dream when your doing a whole house. Plus the better the saw, the quicker it'll resell. Either need the legs, or make your own out of trestles and timber.

Jesus, that'll be twins then

Ahhh, nothing quite as satisfying as seeing someone getting a custard pie to the face. Soooo frickin' old........but good to see something that doesn't NEED 4k HD. Bah.

Gotcha. Indeed. By the time I've stopped learning i'll be too f****d to do anything with the information.

Muppet. That makes 103% ! Its just not possible.
