    smart meters should you get one ??

    Wouldn't do without mine for the cheap overnight rates. My month electric average is 9p/kWh and gas is 4.15p/kWh. They can also be a dumb meter if the smart meter doesn't communicate... I see lots of people complaining of inaccurate bills due to a meter person reading/entering the digits...

    RCD type with an iBoost+

    When it takes the export the hybrid will see it as a load if its on the load side of the CT. Hence you need an export offset on the diverter with a hybrid inverter or wire its supply in between the CT and meter so it is not seen as a load. There will be no issues with a non hybrid inverter.

    Underfloor heating doesn't get warm

    Do you have temp sensors on the flow and return? Get some fish tank temp sensors and stick them on if not. Make sure the boiler is not going in to anti cycle mode as the UFH will not draw much heat away. You may need a buffer tank or radiator on the UFH loop if this is the case.

    How sure are you that it is condensation rather than a leaking pipe? For condensation to happen you need humidity with something cold. Your steels are all internal? Why would there be humidity in the floor void?

    When I had a marine fish tank I had a pump that used a grundfos head. Grundfos confirmed their pumps heads are non corrosive when I had to replace it with a circ one. You could email grundfos and ask what materials are used in the pump head you have. I expect they will say stainless steel...

    DIY liquid floor screed.....bad idea?

    Get some more quotes? I had southern liquid screeds do mine a few years back. 9x3m at 55mm and it was £1k... extra £150 to have it "sanded" Well worth just getting it done by someone. You can hire out a screed mixing pumping thing to DIY it? Or just order it straight off a truck if you are...
