  1. monitor the flow temp to the tank during the DHW heatups. You'll likely find the ASHP is maxed out, and the top third of your tank will end up at those temps...
  2. bog-standard scoop tilt downlight, with your choice of lamp?
  3. presuming it's actually the correct cable?
  4. yep, landscape trays here too, from PluginSolar some years back
  5. no RCDs in that box... Suggest calling a spark in soonest.
  6. there are special screws for joist hangers https://www.strongtie.co.uk/en-UK/product-lines/nails-and-screws/connector-screws
  7. we went hemihydrate and anything that happened to land on it seemed to stick like sh*t to a blanket. We *have* primed it which makes them stick even better now...
  8. flexible pearl-catcher grabber thingy?
  9. POM is the type of plasic the part is made from, is it not?
  10. not with the tile, but happy t confirm they're a well-respected manufaturer
  11. and if you're going EPS, make it the graphite stuff, substantially better for minimal extra cost.
  12. yep normal enough. If you've room to fit an EGO one in, they last a bit better in my experience?
  13. does it need to be outside? could it be hid above a soffit?
  14. You could probably do what's done with 3hp x2 tandem compressors, just put a short delay on one of the motors. It only takes a second for the first motor to come up to speed and reduce it's consumption to sane levels, then there's plenty of juice to kick the other one in. I doubt a second would put the screws too far out of balance...
  15. at the very least, reducing/ chamfering that row of tile under the flashing is required.
  16. you could always try tightening the bolts on the end flange a wee bit, likewise if there's a nut retaining the valve body. But I wouldn't try too hard, at £40...
  17. is this mains or low voltage?
  18. Different way of skinning the cat really. There are savings in electricity obviously and ours seems to do well without the various recirculation paths that the likes of the Conder have. I've yet to see any floating residue on the liquor, it's always a seething mass when aerated and settles quickly to clear water before discharge.
  19. Kinda. With an SBR (small batch reactor) plant, the unit aerates/settles a number of times, before a longer settle and then a timed pumped outflow. With our Solido, there's about a foot of level difference between the normal pumped/ controlled level and the "safety overflow" level that the liquid ends up at during a pump or power failure
  20. your building regs will tell you. Remember most of the guys here are in GB...
  21. would depend on the resistor.
  22. well if they're just normally_open, a resistor might be used to control any stray voltages that could be induced in the wiring
  23. are the call points a normaly open/ closed switch, or instead some kind of addressed device?
