    Hi, we are looking at getting a 2 emersion pressurised hot water tank fitted & it will need an expansion vessel. Will it harm or help the hot water if we fitted a larger one. Q&A 2 if i can. Our boiler is in the loft next to where this new hot water tank will go & has an 1"&1/2 waste pipe going...

    Anyone seen an inline circular saw brake ??

    No not faulty, its just when cutting a lot of wood it takes twice as long compered to one with a brake. Wasn't sure if it could be braked externally via some electronics as i am sure that's how they do it. But may also be done via electronic magnets. There are a lot of lorry brake assists work...

    Immersion heater

    Best to use a multi-meter & test the L+N of the flex going to the emersion. If your not confident with testing live electric DONT. With 2 emersions there is a 90% chance the lower one is off peak & will only have power between 12 & 6am on the cheap rate. But the top one should be live 24/7.

    Anyone seen an inline circular saw brake ??

    Solar panel/system earthing help needed.

    I know some invertor have a relay in them to connect & disconnect the neg/earth, but cant remember if this was on the mains or battery side. Bit of a minefield with solar & not dissimilar to the problems with boat electrics. We need a multi split page book to choose a system being fitted. There...

    Solar panel/system earthing help needed.

    We had a power cut a week or two back & it was with the pole & trany outside my place. The engineers got hear & there was smoke & sparks coming out the bottom of the pole. "I assume via the earth" It turns out the natural had failed at the top of the pole & i think it found the next shortest...

    Solar panel/system earthing help needed.

    The change over switch has an override on it to go to either mains or inverter, but with this switch the battery has priority & when the battery gets to a pre-set low voltage it then switches back to mains until it reaches a hi pre-set voltage, then back to battery.

    Bathroom Extract Fan Grille

    Inline fans tend to be better & quitter, but the worst thing on reducing air flow is flexible ducting. You will get nearly twice the flow with 100mm soil pipe. Laugh! we had a customer was complaining about steam & condensation in her bathroom, so we fitted an inline 6". Worked a treat, but then...

    One thing the uk needs to do is no entry unless you have medical insurance. Mabey they could also have a 15% tax on all these insurances that could go to the NHS. I just got a letter from a doctor saying that your minor operation consultation will be approximately 43 weeks away. "That's just...
