Better to drill the whole through the brick

perfect assist to my diy connection of water line with external filter - thanks

How the caps is named in amazon?

Clear and precise demonstration thank you very much

When I tighten it enough to not leak, it's too tight to actuate the stopper.

Don’t use pre heat on your Combi Boiler for domestic hot water. It’s a waste of gas and is a major problem building regs should ban pre heat option on Boilers if we are saving the planet.

naughty naughty plastic tee that close to boiler!!

Thanks for the Video Steve, just a quick query. How did you mount the panels on the rubber roof? I have a similar roof / outside man cave.

I replaced mine but the filter light is still on, how do I remove that?

Proper job,great effort

Surely you can just remove the red circlip and remove the pipe from the old filter instead of cutting it when replacing

hi do you have an injector tee fitted?, are you heating a cylinder?, can you do an overnight burn or feel any warmth in the morning?

Do the seats bolt through the floor aswell? Or just those big brackets?

How do U change the filter

You should check your insurance. I checked mine (Admiral) and it covers damage from hail to the solar panels if they are a permanent retro install on the main insured building. If I were to put them on an outbuilding or freestanding structure in the grounds they would not be covered. With the increased intensity of thunderstorms it our changing climate, you may need to be ready with a cover for those panels in the event of a violent storm.

I'm looking at doing something similar, however we've just renovated and had plumbing done for unvented cylinder. However, I will rip it all up and do it again for a system like this. Can you let me know how it's all piped up as there's not much info on these available Thanks!

Ironically that is the only American fridge with a C energy rating in the uk (at time of it’s release)

Dammit I wish I had seen this video first, I just had a plumber come in and he took it apart and put silicone on the waste🤦‍♂️

Hahahaha hahahah imagine having to have to live In the UK.

Breakers fuses & connectors £150 new 405W solar panels £100 each (depending on how many you need )solar charge controller £50-£300 depending on SCC , x4 deep cycle battery's for 48V SCC system £90 each x2 15 evacuated tube collectors £250 (used) off ebay these provide the heat for the pool even on overcast days but not as hot as in full sun, tank for the evacuated tube system £50 used on ebay, heat exchanger ( i use a old boiler heat exchanger i already had and this goes in my tank ) this runs my pump & sand filter and my x2 circulation pumps 1 to and from the tank and one for the evacuated tube and heat exchanger, this filters & heats my 20 foot pool all for free, took alot of trial & error & adding items to it over a 2 years but it works Oh and a pure sinewave inverter to run the 240V pool pump £50 looking out for a used solar pool pump but hard to come by as there £300-£400 new but having one of these will run directly off the solar panels then use 1 separate solar panel/SCC to run the x2 pumps for the heater ,this system starts at daybreak and goes off at dusk.I wish someone pointed this pump out to me when I started spending as its a far easier option and cheaper

I never though to have some flux on the solder wire. Interesting.

Was looking at making something like this is it actually livable can you live inside it if it's warm enough

Sides come off Plate comes out easy

I have a problem with rounalt cleo 2013 it say engern fuiler stop and the water came back to the bottle and is a petrol

OK?

How much isit to get somone out to do this and install one ?

Hi, did you screw down into the rubber roof to hold the panels down? It looks like you have from the vid. I have a rubber roof on my garage and I want to do the same thing but worried about water getting in. Also is there an air gap under the panels at all? Cheers :)

Helped me that kidda cheers 👍

Awesome job mate, hard work pays off

Yes I would like to do the same thing, Good deal. Keep the cost down and full coverage. Like to see the output curve. Good luck.

Interesting. Did you consider putting the panels on more of an incline?

I think part of the reason to install at an angle is to reduce the need to clean them. You'll probably find you'll need to clean those ones several times a year to keep the power generation up.

Can you walk on those panels and what kit did you use?

I have asked octopus to fit the whole lot and they stated it is impossible to fit an EPS/UPS to the system (‘your doomsday box) they are not the only ones as another supplier stated they cannot do it either. Givenergy said it can be done for a blackout and are coming back to me to tell me how. It might need to be an add on after Octopus have done their thing on fitting it. Maybe.

What is the minimum working pressure for these?

😂😂😂 Fancy £1K crimper & expensive fittings. All the gear & no idea!!! I started my Apprenticeship in 74 & we’d install Microbore back then. Also two pipe small bore was the norm. The old boys we worked with told us they’d moved onto two pipe in the late 60’s. There’s still lots of Commercial systems on one pipe systems, Schools, Hospitals etc. But even new Commercial systems were done in two pipe in the 70’s. Now the only Microbore in 10mm drops are in New Builds. Thanks for sharing mate, very interesting👍👍👍

Thanks for this video Steve, it’s inspiring. I’m amazed you can harness that much solar energy in Manchester 😅 I want to install a similar solar system for my mum in Africa

Thanks

Hi how have you mounted the panels to the roof are they fixed?

Brilliant just a quick question how much would you budget to do this all roughly? Thanks

Thinking of doing something similar on a garage roof facing East and sloped 4 degrees. Im guessing it'd be even better with bifacial panels and a white pinted roof

Good video here. I found an annoying leak where pressure kept dropping by 0.2 bar every 2 weeks using a liquid pressure testing device. I isolated the boiler and put 6 bar into the system. Sure enough in about 5 minutes i heard a drip in the kitchen and the top part behind the radiator had a pinhole caused by corrosion. Replaced the radiator and no problem after that. Totally recommend a hydrostatic pressure test especially for annoying slow leaks which you cant find. Another trick is to use UV dye and then use a UV LED torch to spot any luminous deposits on joins or pipes.

Had exactly the same and yes a reset brings it back to life but after a week or two it will happen again. My guess is you are running firmware above D0.910-A0.910 if so you need to contact support and ask them to disable 0 second UPS this will stop this happening.

The humming noise is the led lights

👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍

Had one fitted 2 years ago & now the pipes are starting to bang again

Hi, I followed it for my leaking tail radiator. Now my boiler pressure wont go up from 0. I tried repressurising it and it still wont go up.

Thanks for posting this video. Literally just had the same happen to me on the motorway - panic ensued! Water in, light off, works a treat. Next stop - the garage. Thanks again!

Do you still need one if you don’t have a water meter

Loool at all the single women in the comments 😂😂
