  1. you build it @ProDave, we'll fit it...
  2. transformer on the other side of a wall would be fine
  3. No, just a wee battery powered low current valve, switched by a motion sensor. this kinda thng, but I'm looking for one with adjustable timing. Most do two short pulses, some are variable https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32848350151.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.4fe43820q2WQ3f&algo_pvid=1cbe2c9a-6d06-4c72-850b-1f700474f92a&algo_expid=1cbe2c9a-6d06-4c72-850b-1f700474f92a-46&btsid=2100bdd816117404856013770e9c73&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_
  4. I'm considering using a urinal PIR sensor/valve to dump the contents of the line to drain when you walk in.
  5. I'm of that mind that if you don't let it run CONTINUOUSLY for about three days you don't actually know what it's doing. Cost and noise be darned, at least you could say you'd done it then.
  6. £100 for a pallet
  7. this keeps being repeated, but is it actually true? Not in the case of the gypsum Hemihydrate product we used.
  8. I had a good nerdy exchange with Chris, seems sound enough.
  9. going a touch off-piste for that- https://coolenergyshop.com/collections/inverter-heat-pump/products/cool-energy-invertech-ivt9-air-source-heat-pump-ce-ivt9 the full suite of Carel control gear rather than the normal Chinesium-looking fayre swung it fo me.
  10. Michael Berryman, attni.
  11. So spending more money time! Heat pump ordered, Air test booked for Thursday.
  12. the insulating powder in the elements is hygroscopic. Same with Pyro cable.
  13. Is the meter connected the right way round? the LED should flash during the day and be on constant overnight.
  14. Can't be bothered, so maybe @zoothorn can confirm for us? And maybe take some nice piccies of how all the kit is sited in the room???
  15. but it's not AFAIK, I think we discussed it's siting months back on another thread?
  16. I wonder... if the thermostat controller thingy is in the small room with the cylinder etc in, could the systems fuzzy logic be incorrectly presuming the heatup time/ energy input for the rest of the house? As in, using the weather compensation etc it's dialling back the flow temperature because of the rate-of-rise in the room with the 'stat in...
  17. The semi-rigid ducts are smooth-bore.
  18. If the rad is really undersized, how do you kow that the rad + oilfilled heater really *is* enough heat for the room? Just do the measuring we're asking for.
  19. put one of your thermometers on the flow and return from the "boiler" box thingy.
  20. loss through (new, insulated?) pipes is very small compared to that of each radiator. Sadly you have *no idea* of the 55c bit, and age is nothing to do with it. That's why we want you to actually measure it. Maybe the flow temperature sensor in the unit is duff and reading 10deg out? YOU DON'T KNOW YET.
  21. No digger or dumper on site to ferry it?
  22. shouldn't an upstand have been formed in the lead around the hole for the flexi?
  23. You paid HOW MUCH???? each? Please tell me that's a typo...
  24. the loop with the missing actuator, the white cap is a manual on-off.
