cable colour is different as well. For UK (old Colour) to US Line = Brown(Red) - Black Neutral = Blue (Black) - White Earth = Green/Yellow (Green) - Green

one half is 'live' you will see red flags indicating the live side. They can turn them off on the side they are working, as the power is rerouted via another transmission section :-)

Yeah I found that with the ones I just fitted, bracket is a bit rubbish but overall they are a nice heater.........as far as a box with some elements and bricks go :-)

I prefer Dimplex ones :-) Creda, Sunhouse and Dimplex are all the same company so all should be made in the UK (Creda and Dimplex most definitely are) Sunhouse might be cheaper as they might make them in China. Elnur is some Spanish outfit Stiebel Eltron are German Depending on how you view...

Oh yeah, I see what you mean now, they do look the exact same apart from the front. Seem they are both about the same price I think maybe the Creda version is newer than the Dimplex version. So maybe that's why you local place has not heard of them? Would an online place not deliver?

not sure about the Creda version called Quantum, but the linked Creda storage heaters no longer exist, think they where called credanet? Anway Creda and Dimplex are the same company :-)

I got one of them.....proper engineering it started 2nd pull on petrol that had been in the tank for at least 10years!! you can use it on a small boat if you wish, but some inland water ways have banned premix 2 strokes, on the sea do what you like :D

ssshhhhhh :oops: don't tell them that, cos then they'll want one. Happy Christmas all -- Dan

I think fish cakes would solve this problem.....they will attenuate the power output, thus making it safer to cook and wash at the same time :D

Metal bath.........but has plastic pipes, would that make it safer :? If it needs earthing what sort is better, a small bag of multi-purpose compost, or a bag of top soil?

I keep getting a shock off an 11Kv transformer when I have a bath. I connected both outputs to the hot and cold taps, and run a flying lead directly to the leccy meter.....used a 50mm bolt as a fuse so I think I'm safe in that respect. Do I need to earth it? :oops:

They used to use different colours to us, new wiring should be the same as ours. Old stuff IIRC is: Live = Blue Neutral = Black Green, Green/yell, random bits of other colours wire = Earth.....loads old stuff didn't have earths, and way, way back in Germany I believe the earth was Red...

Hiya, I thought they are designed to boost the water temp when the fire is low, and turn off once you've got more fuel on. True I wouldn't want to use it if I was not going to light the fire...... Thinking about it though I've not had a problem with my heating being all run by coal, and...

I think I know what your trying to do. If I'm along your line of thinking it has been done before. Have a look here for the details http://www.dunsleyheat.co.uk/boosterheater.htm Simples 8) HTH Dan :D <edit> Cos I'm thinking of adding one to my solid fuel heating...

How about a classic twist on the french version. Cock-au-cat :)

Semtex 8) I'll get me coat....... -- Dan

Why's there no current Tax disc in the window 8) Nice roof rack though :D

Just a thought Paul, are you needing it to make a dipole :lol: maguire, it's amateur radio....... Dan

I like your site too. I know it's OT from what you asked, but how you find the IC-7700. I'm looking for a new rig, and I like the look of th FT-2000D. 73 de M1ETN Dan
