Overheard in Lidl: "Brooklyn, which flavour Pot Noodle for tea, blue or green?"

I was stunned to see those along with Toffee Crisp on a chippy menu in Edinburgh years ago. Seem to remember they kept them in a freezer and cooked them "fresh".

Different composition phase change materials that change state at different temperatures as I understand it. To cope with different heat sources.

Do you need solar thermal "rated" zone valves to cope with the glycol? Sure I've read that somewhere.

Well, Faye could anyway!

@newhome, if the collective brain's trust are struggling to see what's where, if there's zone valves like this for instance (can be plastic bodied too): Maybe run a camera slowly around everything and post it up on Flickr say?

You're losing me again, doesn't take much. So sorting all this. What you need is a virtual presence device! Or at least a pair of willing hands with a head cam and internet connection to a "brain".

Would a non return valve work on the UFH flow instead of a 2-port zone valve? Thinking "simpler".....

Do they airlock? That Hozelock rig must be there for a reason!

Seems the system needs a periodic flush. A bit about it here: https://www.thegreenlivingforum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=105560 Are you up for having a go if someone here can advise how?

If the simulator isn't in the way then don't be too hasty to get rid. Maybe start another thread. There's a massive nerd herd on here who will love to try and advise even to the extent I'm sure of maybe video chats / confrences for some remote diagnostics. Starting with "What mains plug is on it?"

Think you're being a bit hasty. Try and sell it. I HATE games but that is a simulator and a good one at that. Check this video out: http://www.internetbestsecrets.com/2007/12/force-dynamics-affordable-real.html?m=1 $37500.00 in 2007. That's a lot of plumbers time to sort you out!

That 117.3 panel temp... If you had a failure or lack of check valve could the gas/electric derived heat in the system just be radiating from the ST panels? Typical ST diagrams I think. Shows an AAV:

117.3 is surely pretty good on what I expect is a cold but bright sunny day up there. Seems a pity to "waste it" so well worth sorting.

eBay the stuff and put towards sorting this.

You got enough problems without reading my saga! But if you really want to read about how long I'm taking on ONE ROOM then feel free: Started it on 13 Mar 2015 on the old forum!

How do I insert photos?

I just take a chance on the cheapest ones from the Far East. Some die, others go on forever. The one in my SW facing lounge is reading 26.8, in the unfinished bathroom, NW facing it's 15 and falling! One day is like to get into remote sensors, Raspberry Pi, logging and reading via an app. I fear I'm not bright enough though!

That's a wiring centre for the UFH: E07-Generic-H-Box-12V1.2-wiring-centre-09-10-2017.pdf

Bloody hell, 14 pages since Tuesday! You after my crown? I only wish I could be more help. The thermometers with probes I meant are this sort of thing. I've had a fair few from China / HK. I scatter them around the house to depress myself! You can strap the probe to pipes. https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Digital-LCD-Fridge-Thermometer-Water-Temperature-Measure-50-110-C-With-Probe/302106354038?epid=1394261830&hash=item4656f12176:g:l0IAAOSwLF1YAFLU They might not like some of high temperatures ST can reach though...

All I know is it's 'effin freezing in the bathroom since I punctured the ceiling and vcl for 4 of these: https://www.screwfix.com/p/enlite-e8-fixed-fire-rated-led-downlight-white-565lm-8w-220-240v/5761j Got a plan to reinstate everything...must get on with it!

I scan my Lidl tool receipts and store them on Dropbox. Not sure if the right angle adapter had the 3yr g'tee...

I thought my Parkside multitool had died last night. I was dreading coming on here and telling everyone. In the bathroom I was and plugged it in in turn to 3 of the spare sockets on the extension lead...dead as. I obviously had power as the 4th socket had the 110V trannie plugged in for the site light and the lights were on. Then I realised it was the downlights in the ceiling that were on NOT the site light!

An IR camera shot would be better at night? What about pointing the IR laser thermometer at the ST pipes that come through the loft in the roof? You almost want some cheap as thermal probe thermometers you can strap on and leave.

I think I saw it the other day in there but dismissed it thinking it the same as the one I had. If I haven't binned it I'll post a pic and you can tell me if it's the same.
