I said I wouldn't, but... Your theory is very wrong, as has been explained to you multiple times. The Willis will thermo-syphon the water very effectively, drawing in cold at the bottom, hot out the top, and storing the hot, at the top of the main cylinder. Cold is drawn in at the bottom of the...

You need perhaps, to have words with your neighbours, and have them check their gutters and down pipes are OK.

You need to confirm the other 3, or 4, are all taking their share of the water. If they are blocked, or obstructed, the water will run to the lowest point of exit. Is it causing you some obvious problem?

How many downpipes are there, along those 15 houses?

Once also common in Germany too.

Whats'at? Looks like a shaft drive from a motorbike?

To work, those packs would need to be dried out regularly, in the oven.

I downloaded this, as a means to ping our Smart Plugs, and report any permanent outages, rather than them remaining out of contact, until I happened to notice. As such, it works great, very configurable, just what was looking for, except.... The facility to send an email notification, when...

The Victorian speed and level of service, would be great :-) If only! Here, from the NHS, they seem to use a mix of methods - plain sms, Whatapp, then sms, combined with inviting me to login to the NHS app, and a multitude of annoying menus to get through, just to find it is a reminder of my...

I like to have the sausage cooked, and browned, before they go in the pudding. The fat, in the dish, in the oven, needs to be smoking hot, before the pudding mix is poured in, along with the sausage. Then leave it alone, don't open the door until it should be done.

That, looks as if the steels are set into the mortar of the bricks, in the four corners. I would lash a rope on to the steel, to take the weight, and avoid it coming crashing down, once released. You will need a large enough grinder, to be able to cut through the steel, without it catching on...

Perhaps they have it wired, so that either stat can call for heating?

This is a housing authority property, very unlikely they have fitted anything more than the very most basic of essential controls.

Because it can take so long, to put a full charge back in it, mid-trip, that the driver finds it worthwhile, to take along a bed, to have a kip whilst the charge operation proceeds.

I had an oil drum as a garden incinerator, but it quite quickly rusted away. I then got hold of a large, stainless steel washing machine drum, and bolted three legs to it, to raise it off the ground. Not as big as an oil drum, but anything put in it burns away quickly, due to lots of air holes...
