GSHP Brine reservoir deflating
dpmiller replied to AlSmith's topic in Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP)
should the reservoir have a vent/ hole in the filler cap? -
Washing machine in outbuilding - turned off
dpmiller replied to AdamD's topic in Kitchen & Household Appliances
what does it say on the box? There are generally storage conditions listed. But the average warehouse/ back of a curtainsider overnight aint going to be warm and toasty... -
Just started a self-build in Dorset. Exciting times!
dpmiller replied to NailBiter's topic in Introduce Yourself
can someone explain this one to a simpleton please? -
shouldn't that be shoot> recover> bag> sell in pub> return all smiles?
-
no they just had them branded. The manufacturer's mark is DL
-
take an hour or two off.

I'd be adding a wee relay in there...

^ it's an app, but it plugs into a radar-like sensor. I've got one and it's very good. Pricier than it used to be tho... https://walabot.com/en-gb

Small ASHPs / Units primarily for DHW

or World Heat -
look at this pic https://www.partscentre.co.uk/door-assembly-2860205400.html?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA84CvBhCaARIsAMkAvkICMnZVFWaJfB1ZGYXFo6XkRQZDO7HSfdD16M0NZoOx3dFpklQkSr0aAiZfEALw_wcB I think the spring's U should be to the outside of the latch

Immersion diverter - can these confuse the app "usage" data?
dpmiller replied to MrTWales's topic in Photovoltaics (PV)
^ update on this. I was having issues with my iBoost running too hot and had to fashion an external fan to assist. heatsink all clean etc. So guessing a partial fail of the triac/whatever power device Ordered one of these Runhu units direct and have just installed it. Now, some reviews hint that it doesn't start diverting till a few hundred watts so I'll be monitoring more closely for the next wee while. But first impressions are that it's a bit different to the iBoost in that it doesn't run the fan during *all* divert, seemingly being temperature controlled. And it's a LOT quieter. Happy days, for now... -
Recommend me a ceiling extractor
dpmiller replied to Martin-W's topic in Kitchen & Household Appliances
Even at- or slightly above- head height will be a lot better capture-wise than at ceiling level. Our kitchen has a range cooker across a corner at 45deg and out from the wall a bit. I selected the highest-flow island hood I could find for sensible money (an ElectriQ curved glass jobbie) and it works well for wok cooking even at 800mm off the hob. -
make/ model?
-
spring is back to front or needs preloaded into place
-
where is the 110 going- could you put a back-inlet trap just outside the house?
-
So now we *need* a topo survey and to hire a fancypants modern machine with full-on GPS bucket system. How much extra will that be? Who will program the GPS and who is liable if it's done wrong?

^ can't disagree with @SteamyTea. It's why I reckon PHEVs are the way to go, and look forward to some slightly smaller examples hitting the market some day. Quick shopping trip/ commute? Battery power. Easy overnight slow recharge. Going on holidays/ away to see the inlaws etc? A nice clean ICE run in it's best efficiency zone. but the current strategy seems to be to make cars as expensive and feature-laden as possible to hide the cost difference of the hybrid and electric gubbins.

I'm running our ASHP off one of the Tuya MCBs and it reports nicely to SmartLife. Seems as accurate as the cheapo din-rail meter it replaced, and runs cooler too.

oddly enough if you look at the Joule website, Kodiak has an internal 2-port valve? More investigation might be required... https://www.jouleuk.co.uk/products/kodiak-pre-plumb-ie/

nylon or polyethelene most likely
-
It aint PTFE pipe and that colleted ebay fitting isn't the right job. as they say above, flick the blue lock collar off and depress the ring just like any other JG fitting... Oh and the fittings unscrew from those filters so you can swap'em onto your choice of BSP ended filters.

In roof panels leaking or condensation?
dpmiller replied to CH_18's topic in Roofing, Tiling & Slating
I'd crack on getting VCL/insulation/PB up personally, you don't currently have "normal" conditions yet? -
