    Had a call back from the local rep a few mins ago and they're having a butty morning at the local BMs tomorrow so I'll call over for a nosey. But in the interim, it's an appealing product for sure. All the connections are at the top. Coils are 22mm 316SS, he'll confirm length/area/kW ASAP. Insulation is 60mm at the sides, 120mm at the top. Outer vessel PP, inner PE. Current range is "core", 520mm square for normalish applications but will be expanded to a 780mm sq body of 400- 600l, with triple coil options. Ballpark for a 250l twin coil is £850. MIs attached for anyone that wants a look f7990181-ffe2-4951-8d0d-d9c51a197d7a.pdf

    Yes, but not in a trafficed area. It does take a long time to go off, and it pays to use fresh stuff and put it down when the weather is hot.

    speaking of passive circulators and cooling, is there merit to burying a loop under the slab to lose some heat to?

    I'd be very careful to use the "correct" duct. What is your chosen DNO's requirement?

    If a solid bound surface is required you could surely get away with just the coarse tarmac underlayer for the resin stuff?

    Milwaukee do proper right-angle impacts, but their torque rating isn't massive.

    Remember that this is a thermal store system, so just because the house needs some heat doesn't mean that the boiler must come on. The boiler tops up the energy in the store so the cunning bit it to have this happen as little as possible and at the best time. And isn't this boiler modulating? That means it won't be taking 24kW the whole time it's on anyway...

    would a public discussion on this not be more useful?

    Yup Harlequin are well known round these parts. I downloaded the MIs and have put a query in to Moira re using the extra coils for export. It's open vented and filled by a manual filling loop to satisfy a little float level indicator. Excess would just leave by the overflow.

    ^that's interesting, never seen it before. I wonder if one of the extra coils could be used to draw off heat like a TS?

    Surely if the paving is done correctly there will be no likelyhood of damage? After all, it will see bin lorries, oil tankers, removal vehicles on a regular basis...

    On cheap chainsaws- B&Q have a stonking bargain- £65 https://www.diy.com/departments/fpcsp52-petrol-chainsaw/1709118_BQ.prd It's identical to the green one Lidl are doing at the mo for £130. Bought one a while back and I'm darned impressed by it. Starts easy, plenty of power, nice sharp chain. Recommended.

    nasty. well spotted!

    don't think I could enjoy them at that price...

    How much space do you have for a drain field, or do you have access to a watercourse?

    I wonder if the solenoid valve let by and this was then detected by the drum pressostat as an overfill? Fill valves are servo so the supply pressure dropping off coupld conceivably force it open.

    what make is it dave?
  19. dpmiller
    how flush do you need?
  20. dpmiller
    Nah, they just resell Quinns.

    Still waiting. Took down a couple of poor-looking Ash along the side of the sheugh, ther's another couple to go but they're growing the "wrong" direction to fell easily towards us. Need to wait for the excavator coming to get them moving the right direction. We have squatters tho- Both the trenches of the current footings, and the sheugh, are full of frogspawn! Windows are decided on, just a couple of minor details to cofirm before contracting. Pleasantly surprised by the costings. A question tho, for the local contingent- who other than Quinn actually *make* thermal blocks?
  22. dpmiller
    Yup. Was the lid well clamped down?
  23. dpmiller
    why not in-roof?
  24. dpmiller
    do we know for sure it's the original valve?

    Afternoon!
