    Solar charging system for lighting inside a shipping container

    Hi Guys, as stated in the thread title as I know sweet FA about soar panels, I would like a steer on what I need to proved power to light a shipping container with LED ‘s. It seems I need a panel, a battery, a connector box and I’d read somewhere about a device that stops the battery...

    Mira Platinum pumped remote shower on a pressurised system

    You’re spot on, that is what Mira warned me about. The solution is to put a pressure reduction valve at 1 bar. Thanks for your interest guys

    Mira Platinum pumped remote shower on a pressurised system

    I’m not sure what it all means so I’m not going to get to excited about it. I’ll run with it and if it fails you’ll see me paddling my canoe down Halesowen high street

    Mira Platinum pumped remote shower on a pressurised system

    Put a 1 bar prv on. I’m thinking there must be someway of reducing flow and pressure to a level that isn’t going to cause a major problem.

    Mira Platinum pumped remote shower on a pressurised system

    Thanks Madrab, your thinking what I am thinking. The reason I’m looking at this is firstly it’s for me so no client to worry about and secondly I can get a new pumped unit for £150 as opposed to £700 I must admit that when I’ve installed a pumped mixer to low pressure system I’ve always choked...

    Mira Platinum pumped remote shower on a pressurised system

    Guys, what would be the implications of using a Mira Platinum pumped digital shower on a high pressure system. Would it be ok to simply crank down the flow from the incoming hot and cold.

    Dewalt substitute 18v batteries…..which one

    Thanks Lost…..I guess there must be a lot of guys that use them. I’m sort of thinking that if they didn’t work to well they wouldn’t have an ongoing market for them. @ £22 I think I’ll give them a go and report back

    Pressurising an UFH system before applying a flow screed….why

    Thanks guys. What I couldn’t grasp was that by pressuring up to 6bar that pressure expands the pipe…..It must only expand by a fraction of a millimetre but apparently that is what is required before the screed is applied. So I will do as it says

    Pressurising an UFH system before applying a flow screed….why

    Hi Guys, just about to apply a flow screed directly on top of the UFH pipe work and cannot understand why the system needs to be over pressurised before the screed is layers Any ideas why this is necessary ?? Cheers

    Robot Mowers, honestly, are they any good ??

    Thanks Conny, I’m looking at 300m2 so not massive. What you have posted gives me what I was after which was some confirmation that the cut that is left will eventually be even.

    Robot Mowers, honestly, are they any good ??

    The technical stuff I’m ok with. What I am trying to understand is what the finished cut is like. Is it just as if you’d gone over it with a rotary mower or does the lawn have a sort of robot mower finish.

    Robot Mowers, honestly, are they any good ??

    Thanks for that, what I am after is an honest opinion of what finished cut lawn looks like. I know it won’t have stripes but in general terms is it tidy

    Robot Mowers, honestly, are they any good ??

    Hi guys, toying with treating myself to a robot mower now that the prices seem to have dropped. I’m always suspicious of review sites who seem to have a vested interest in pointing you towards Amazon, so I would really appreciate some honest opinions on how these things work out in practice and...
