The point is there should be a by-pass valve. Ups, missed that, but clearly there is a bypass valve, but there should have been an external one as well. Spot on, installer should sort it out.

With mine one battery connects to the other, and one battery connects to scooter, so on the battery connecting to scooter neither plug has both pos and neg connections to the battery. The workaround is a non-reversible socket on each battery, which would allow each battery to be used...

You can, Drayton Wiser has that option. However, there are so many systems and options, there is no one correct answer, so the major change was the condensing boiler, these boilers unlike the previous types, needed the return water to be cool enough to extract the latent heat from the flue...

Six-month-old slice of bread, hope it came out of the freezer!

The way the two batteries interconnect, one can maybe buy a connector to charge one battery, but the other battery needs some interconnection, so only real way would be to fit extra connectors to each battery. I have been considering this so can also use the batteries as an emergency supply.

Not that easy, one battery could make an adaptor but not the other one.

I have had one for years, but the 300 watt inverter built in, is very different to the modern units. At £400 not cheap but it will power a lot more, it would, I think power a kettle as shown (750 watts) however, it may also have some uses at home as well, like transferring off-peak to peak...

I had the same, the front of house sockets tripped, I unplugged what I could ending up at dishwasher, when I was able to reset, so thought time for a new dishwasher, but since I have the test gear, I tested first, no fault found, plugged all back it and all worked. That does seem likely.

My energy monitor will produce a graph, this was recharging a flooded sealed lead acid, it would auto restart to charge each time battery dropped to 12.8 volts, and stop when it hit 14.4 volts, if the battery is very low and allowed to sulphate it starts with pulses, then it goes to standard...

The problem is time and over charging and under charging. If overcharged they lose water, if left even at 95% the sulphur starts to harden on the plates, and all cells will not be identical so you do every so often need a small amount of over charging to equalise the plates, but not for very...

I do not use the petrol in my car to run my home. And although petrol does vary in price, it does not vary from 6.5p to 70p for the same quantity. Also, it does not take 6 hours to fill my car. So a petrol car can't be compared with an electric car as there are so many differences between the...

Interesting, I had not considered a constant head pump. I wish I could say all works absolutely perfectly, but my central heating is near enough, but not perfect. Perfect would cost too much. Even with perfect, I would assume no wall thermostats, all linked TRV heads, and say those 9 radiators...

Dinorwig Power Station known locally as Electric Mountain, has done that for years, opened 1984. It was mainly to complement the nuclear power station, which was very show taking up and shedding load, at 1,800 MW it is still one of the world's largest batteries, at 9.1 GWh assuming it is not...

There are exceptions, my oil boiler is not a condensing boiler, so return water is not so important, but with a modulating condensing boiler, water must return when all TRVs are closed, by-passing all radiators so it will cause the boiler to modulate (turn down). If one tries to use one radiator...

My shed which came with the house, is now what considered past it, so today I decided it was time to go however before it went I had a new one, and as a base I laid plastic pallets, so wood floor is unlikely to be damaged. To get power in I did not want a low down hole that rodents could...

I would assume FB means fuse box, and a fuse box will not have RCD protection, so that will need adding, hot tub you say is gone, but it would likely have had a TT earth. (uses an earth rod) So although questions answered, I would say it may need a bit more, you need to be wary.

What is going on Jonathan Tracey YouTube video and my letter so his standing charge has gone up, mine has gone down. And he pays a lot less than me p/kWh. OK I would love it if standing charge was got rid of, and the cost per kWh went up instead, but that is hardly fair, it means some one who...

No of course not, that's my point, they can't write English.

So if it does not boil water, it is not a boiler? It is only a water heater. Are you sure it is crystal clear? What I refer to as a boiler is is not what we have in a house. The carriages are heated with steam, using a one pipe system, and the steam and water is released into the atmosphere at...

Exactly, it should have the word fixed, or installed, but the approved guides are not very well written, so to use the 'A' level English I was taught at school to try and work out what they are saying, simply does not work. The English rented property law requiring inspection and testing is...
