Thanks very much for you info.Will go for 25 mm pipe. Ref the house filtration, I think you might be correct in the "snake oil" selling of these units.

The meter is about 2m inside our garden. I thought you can have the meter where you wanted? The previous ouwners had themter installed. My parents had a meter installed a few years back and they picked to have it in their house. What difference does it make what size of pipe you...

Am i correct the I as the home-owner am responsible from the meter onwards? Our meter/stopcock is just inside our garden boundary, but about 15m away from the house. The pipe from the meter to the house is lead, after the in-house house stopcock everything else is either copper or new...

Well given it is just me and OH, that is a simple opperation. She can just about start her car, let alone a generator. As orginal post, not many power cut, but when you are given a nice nearly new generator, it makes sense to put it to some use even if that is as a standy by use. I work in...

I think coming back to my orginal question that this will be a back-up system for very limited use, so we are unlikely to be cooking chritmass dinner or powering the hot tub (if we had one) SO as has been stated, there are quite a mix of essential circuits spread around a few Cu's...

Other points I need to consider are generator location. prefered location is marked on plan below. It is good in that I can build a small lean,to against the end of the garage to keep the genny secure locked away and further add to its sound proofing, I would also extend the lean-to...

All Please find attached a VERYbasic layout drawing of my house circuits and some photo's The house was fully brought up to standards 3 years ago, requiring some rewiring of the original house section (old rubber wire), new CU’s with RCD’s and trip breakers rather than the original...

Thanks very much Eric, I will have to read and probably re-read and then get back to you with a few questions. But one straight away, are you stating that although I only have 16A 240v sockets, because there are 2, by feeding both in gives 32A? Or am I just looking at it to simplisticly...

But does not this set-up allow the genny to be turned on and feed power into the grid and vise versa? i.e there is no break before make switch? Coming back to the Human factor? Apart from that I see what you are saying.

Yes I understand. 2 pole as a dedicated earth will be used for the generator via spike.

But I thought it was stated above that the switch would still need to be rated at 100A+?

Yes I do know that bit, Tescos have not quite taken over everything, LOL Thanks all it has made things clear (?) Need 100- 125 Amp switch 3 pole (break before make, with off position) Need best price/make Need dedicated earth with RCD in Isolate key ciccuits, lights, bolier and...

Thats a good question!!!!!!! :idea: Look out the window (if at night ) and see if neighbours lights are on? Or fit a light on the grid side that will light when back on?????? Ideas please!

Thats would I thought! Yes I thinks so, so in effect it is a complety seperate system. Please clarify TT? And DNO which I assume is somthing to do with the power company? Thanks mfarrow
