    Are there requirements to fireproof this building?

    Sandy is just in the process of sealing all ours at the moment with the Larsen pink Acrylic primer. I'd done the floors that I'd already tiled with it, as I'm using their tile adhesive... The MIs say a single 50/50 coat is permeable but you could give Larsen Technical a call for confirmation

    is this the upright Condor, or the Solido Smart? We've the latter and it's very good.

    Bwahahaha! Priceless!!!!

    and???

    @Adsibob you referenced upstands and window cills in another thread, could this be the issue?

    what are the two bypass controls set to? and is the hidden isolator fully open?

    The ASHP will have a minimum flow requirement We've about 650m over 12 loops of very unequal lengths- from around 30 to 90m. But I've no problem getting heat to all the rooms with a Yonos Pico 25 1/6 running at under 2m. There's about 1.5l/s on the loops with the highest demand

    Modern fridges do indeed have a "standby" consumption. Compressor control isn't just a capillary stat any more...

    We're pretty airtight (a wee bit over 1ACH) and our hood which is rated at 600m3/hr on full will a. open the sealed, weighted, gravity flap in the duct at low speed b. depressurise the house to about 30Pa when on full. ...but the supply flows increase when it's on as fans happily freewheel and bypass. I haven't yet been able to detect reverse flow at the extract vents so at worst airflow is stalling on the extract side. I would do a fair bit of stirfry and pulling the air out of the house for ten minutes is a better option to me than the possibility of greasing up thee nearby ducts...

    Might there be fire protection implications to a ventilated riser like this?
  12. dpmiller
    Yep, the extractor will happily overrule the MVHR for the short time it's on.
  13. dpmiller
    @Iceverge do you not have MVHR?

    If it's so easy, can you not do it yourself?

    and it won't help much if you do open it, Dave. It's a blokey in his shed making stoves to his own design and reselling some others. No website, and no mention of a manual...

    Have you a copy of the full test cert for the unit, rather than just the COP quoted in the manual? It has a bit more info on when defrosts are likely, the required compressor speeds etc I've attached it just in case you don't... do you see the water pump throttling back much? I'd opine that flow through the heat exchanger (and therefore deltaT across the unit) is going to have more of an effect than fan speed. But again, look in Fan configuration to see the compressor speed and fan speed limits per ambient temp. CE-iVT9 EN14825 64.181.20.04362.01 Rev.00 TR Performance Pages.pdf

    any of the "works underwater" hybrid sealants?

    Having been inside a few now, I think Delonghi add "improvements" per model step-up rather than time. The infusers are all the same, the pumps are the same, the transmission is the same. But the top spec machines can have quieter grinders, silencers on the pump outlet, better temperature control etc

    You'll not go far wrong with a Delonghi IMHO. We've a Perfecta for a number of years now and it does everything we need. The previous Magnifica was good but ended up having an appetite for elements. Something to watch out for is that the spout adjust enough in height for whatever cups you're using...

    red, white, blue?

    ^ I can confirm that the stat on the Tesla heaters in our World Heat tank maxes out at around 92c
  23. dpmiller
    the one you linked doesn't have a timer either, just a stat ?

    where is the VCL?
