    Paul's been a busy boy. All the stripping is complete, a couple of loads of crushed are down (probably another three or four to go) so we'll have dry standing all round the footprint soon and for re-use later. £6/t with a cert, nice. Account opened with local quarry, just waiting on final prices. Rock hammer on standby at the Hire depot. What else is on the week's list then? Land drains to go in, big hole to dig for the treatment plant. Water pipe joint to bury in neighbouring field. Treatment plant to be ordered tomorrow, delivery before the weekend apparently. Oh, but any or all of that can wait if the base drawings arrive from the TF co.

    @Ed_MK is your drawing accurate? I was led to believe TF started at FFL but your kicker is waay lower than that. And is the kicker a standard block or a thermal?

    The Solido Smart that we're going with has a programmable controller which uses variable timings for the aeration/ settling/ discharge, and has standard, commissioning, and holiday modes as well as preconfigured setups for different sizes of occupation. I believe the same controller is used by a couple of different brands of plant. Solido SMART OM Rev 3.pdf

    what type of timer/controller does the Vortex use, @joe90?
  5. dpmiller
    some systems (many?) also have a holiday mode to slow down the process when there's little or no input.

    Progress! Topsoil stripped off most of the site today, and much of it good to reuse. Full plans have gone in to BC so as son as TF guy confirms our baseworks drawings, we're good to dig footings. In the meantime there's land drain to do and crushed rubble to lay.

    Virgin are doing a big push at the mo. All of Ards, all of Comber. Carrowdore would be great but I dunno what they'd do about the last kilometre...

    I bought a chineseum ebay special about fifteen years ago, still going strong. All the accessories are fit for purpose, and an extra extension shaft adds extra convenience.

    Yup, mains water is on.

    Ooh, it's all getting exciting. Site loo arriving tomorrow, digger and dumper on Friday. TF company contracted.

    if you want to go a little deeper on the insulation, the anhydrite and hemihydrate flowscreeds can go down to 50mm or less.

    So watching the lorry negotiate the corner from lane to driveway last week made me pause. Then a chat with our nice new neighbour, and following that an hour's work tonight. Result? a few quid for posts and much more room to turn. Excellent.

    Polarwall will sell sheet material as well as their foundation system. http://www.extrudedpolystyreneinsulation.co.uk/home.html

    new dishwasher will come with a new hose.

    just look at the 50mm as a built-in expansion vessel.
  16. dpmiller
    You've definitely got an insert fitted, yes?

    it does mean that the control gear (switches etc) are more expensive and bigger for a given number of Amps than their AC equivalent.

    check the strainer for crap.

    jaysus the place isn't ready for that!

    So where are we now then? Selfbuild insurance arranged and in place. First delivery of materials arrived- twenty lengths of 160mm perforated twinwall, and a shiny new gate. The swing off the lane and into the drive is just a bit *too* tight so some fences will need massaging a touch. Any burnable scrub is torched. New gate is on. We're ready for the digger to be let loose next week!

    @Dudda is in the RoI so the rules are a touch different, wiring can be a little more "continental"...

    just spotted this, another header tank option maybe? https://www.bes.co.uk/safety-valve-solar-fluid-recovery-container

    just scanned through my TF quotes and 75% of them include external panels of fully treated timber.

    Dave makes good points re. the loop impedance and I'd be querying of the DNO what their tolerances are if a mere 4kW is enough to push the supply ABOVE spec. Considering that both you and your neighbour will be on (eg) 80A fuses, so 18kW each... NIE for example quote 230v, but -6% and +10%.

    go for the correct gain group rather than a wideband one.
