    It's going to be less work to take two new 22mm pipes up the stud wall if connecting at the top is straightforward.

    It's been sitting for over a year, have you tested it to check that it still works?

    Wayfair sell them. We bought wood planters from them and they have been good. https://www.wayfair.co.uk/garden/sb1/metal-planters-window-boxes-c1870049-a2912~6721.html

    You would need to check if there is a length limit for the waste pipe. I can't remember, but should be in the instructions I gave you. IIRC the overflow should be a straight run.

    Genvex manufacture longer thinner units which can be installed horizontally or vertically. I'm sure they can be found cheaper from elsewhere. https://totalhomeshop.co.uk/shop/vclose2.asp?prd=79760&cat=817002852

    Very rarely see bats any longer around here, nor that many insects. The orchards and fields are often sprayed. When we used to drive after dark the front of the car was always covered with moths. It's no longer the case.

    It doesn't taste salty.

    Your experience isn't the same as ours and we have been using water softeners for over 25 years. The unit should be set up by the supplier to take account of the hardness of the water in your area. Did you measure the hardness yourself or did the supplier use your postcode to determine the hardness? We use liquid detergent which we dilute 50/50 with water in the bottle. We never use more than the standard amount for a wash and often a little less.

    There is too much regeneration waste water too lose under the floor. Could you take it to the basin waste? The overflow could just go through an outside wall.

    I would tee into the main where it enters the house, if it is possible, and use all the existing pipework in the house. Unless you have a medical reason why you shouldn't drink softened water I wouldn't worry, Wendy is doing well on it and has for more that 20 years.

    We use softened water for hot drinks and cooking but I use filtered hard water for my cold drinks because I have to drink a lot due to kidney stones.

    Our 'studs' are I-beams and vary in spacing depending on the loads on the structure.
  13. Gone West
    If you had a ground floor ventilated underfloor space could you dump the warm air from the unit into that rather than through a gap in the window.

    37C here and I stopped at 12.00.
  15. Gone West
    We found that, ours were up for a year.

    We use the Genvex Combi 185LS to heat the DHW to 45C which seems to be very efficient. There are only two of us but being retired we are at home most of the time. As Jeremy said we bought ours from Denmark and IIRC saved over £3000 and still reclaimed the higher VAT rate. The only downside to that is, if there is a fault with it, the supplier wants it returned to Denmark for repair. Of course there maybe the Brexit effect after October.

    I would, but then I like things done properly .

    No on mine position 2 is for water temperature and position 3 is for turning the immersion on/off. I guess having water heating via the EASHP doesn't allow cooling for some reason. Maybe there is some physical reason that prevents the EASHP swapping from heating water to cooling air.

    Glad you're still planning to do it. My frame price was essentially all the wood work including internal studwork, metal web joists and upstairs 22mm caberdek.
  20. Gone West
    I don't seem to have that option which surprises me as I would have assumed the Combi would have a similar MVHR and EASHP.
  21. Gone West
    Does your unit have heating and cooling set up on your Genvex Optima controller or did you alter the settings on the unit?
  22. Gone West
    Cut it off.

    When I was moving my shed a shrew was carrying leaves into a hole under the slab. When I took the slab up there was no sign of the shrew just a neat little nest.

    The ph15 system looks as though it was developed from the construction used for our portal timber I-beam frame erected in 2010. Our house frame was the second of that design built in the country. The frame which consisted of the sole plate, frames, racking and external rafters along with erection was just over £36000. We used Isoquick insulated foundations and Icynene wall and roof insulation along with external Rockwool insulation.

    I guess SW Water didn't look at the site plans and assumed your plot was Glendower. As there is an access point to the C/150/VC near your entrance and it appears to run to the side of your drive I don't know why there would be a problem.
