Does anyone understand how ADSL broadband actually works?
dpmiller replied to ProDave's topic in Boffin's Corner
I'm just awaiting our number port to VOIP completing, and then I will be pleased to be shot of any copper connection to BT. Outgoing calls are working already, inbound is to switch on Tuesday. -
And we're in. So much still to do, but we need to move on the "other place" before the market dies off.

Hep2O Sleves/pipe-inserts Stuck in Hep2O Fittings
dpmiller replied to GandyP's topic in Introduce Yourself
yep, had this too. Shame, as some other brands can be unscrewed to make removal easier /ducks -
It's a similar scheme to my own, but as well as using a Laddomat-style load unit, I've also chosen to use a stove with a cooling coil in it for boil protection. You might want to consider this safety aspect yourself- maybe using an STS valve to supply cold mains to the bottom of the store in the case of a catastrophic overheat?

ridge tiles Does this make sense?

the flat roof is level with- or slightly above- the roof peak? -
prices don't look too bad to be but will you be actually saving very much once you get all the mounting kit locally, and deal with any Duties and the onward freight from "London Port"?

Alternative broadband supplier questions
dpmiller replied to ProDave's topic in Networks, AV, Security & Automation
Our road had had fibre run along it as part of the Project Stratum initiative- which is for externally-funded rural FTTP. But I can't get it because there's currently no copper phone line to the house. And the local exchange is apparently now closed to new copper connections... I'll be sticking with the 4g I think. -

Is anyone else data logging their fridge?
dpmiller replied to Radian's topic in Kitchen & Household Appliances
does the current unit have a condenser fan and could it have failed? Undercounter integrated certainly do. -
I'm confused. The liner clearly doesn't comply?

does PV work on cold winter nights?

have a look at this on sizing: https://www.stevensonplumbing.co.uk/bspt.html but tell us, how much flow do you actually need and where would you see a restriction cause an issue?

big difference between cars and ASHPs, @JohnMo. Car systems are designed to dismantled for maintenance/ repair/ accident damage/ ease of assembly. ASHPS are hermetically sealed, fully brazed, like a domestic fridge.

dpmiller replied to Radian's topic in Kitchen & Household Appliances
Just be canny on the control- fridge compressors don't like short-cycling and the normal control strategy with a capillary stat is cut-in at setpoint, chill the coldplate to (say) -10c or so, rinse and repeat. -
