That is an idea, maybe separate DHW and heating, so only need to heat one tank in Summer. Guess that nearly doubles the cost though.

2220 Ceiling height in that room so looks like 790 is going to be it, or a smaller volume

Ideally, yes, but adjoining the door frame is the fibreglass DNO service cabinet. We today have had a narrow pair of french doors put in at the back of this room which open to about 1m, but there are 3 steps down to an uneven back garden. May have to rig something up. Do these cylinders have...

Have a renovation project on the go, and want to use a 1000 litre thermal store, 18kw log boiler, some Solar thermal and Underfloor heating and Radiators. I have a convenient hallway room between the 2 parts of the house, which would make a nice "Plant Room", for all the heating stuff, but the...

If you can manage with extension leads, or have a little generator, I have the Ryobi Electric one from Screwfix, Seems good, the few times I have used it so far.

From the parts diagram the one piece bush is on the drive end, probably as it has more load on it with the belt tension. So you would need the pulley of to change it, and my bolts were so rusty I had to grind them off. The pulley actually runs within the water level of the outlet section, in a...

I know this is an old thread, but the diagram may be useful to others. I am refurbing a Biodisc BB at the Moment including wiring in a consumer unit and Motor. From the above drawing swapping the motor connections for U2 and Z2 should reverse the direction. And the little buckets should pick up...

thanks

I have a Klargester sewage plant with a vandalised (fire damaged) outdoor consumer unit. This just had a double pole 3A MCB and Motor run Capacitor in. I have bought a 2 Way IP55 CU with RCD, 6A and 16A MCBs. I have ditched the RCD (Main CU has RCDs already), and the 6A MCB. I have fitted the...

I have recently purchased a Cottage, the previous owner had died a year or so ago, and the Sewage plant (a Klargester Biodisc BB) has been neglected for some time. The Motor is missing along with the belt. The Nylon bearings (Bushes more like) at each end are rather worn so there is a lot of...
