  1. Yes 230volt is the standard for South Africa
  2. The built in non return valve could be faulty ,the water is just going back into the tank. Check if the pipes from the tank to the booster pump are bigger than the pipe after the pump ,this could be causing cavitation (this would be heard as a hissing noise) good luck
  3. I think the pump is damaged. Pull it up and see if the cable is damaged. You could be overworking the pump (blocked pipes)or wet end (pump part) damaged good luck
  4. I think getting a length of 80mm LDPE irrigation pipe and cutting it length ways and just putting it around the tubes is a better idea
  5. I meet dodgy electrician's all the time. I was told of an installer today that issued a COC with a different installers signiture on it. The COC was yellow paper ,if I'm not mistaken all COC's are now a white form. As a registerd electrician I have a card issued to me by the Department of Labour ,ask your electrician for his card before he or she starts the work.
  6. According to SANS 10142 it needs to be replaced . Be careful your insurance company wont pay you out if the SPD's arent working.
  7. McGuywer Generators produce a pure sine wave just by design . An AVR is good because it stops the voltage from going to high.
  8. Awesome topic Looks like I will be studying SANS 10142 tomorrow
  9. Agree The Capacitor theory is very interesting.Those damn old flourescent lights are just a fire hazard,replce them with LED lights ASAP
  10. You must feed the inverter through a 2 pole or 4 pole circuit breaker from municipal supply and bypass the EL in the main DB and put a circuit breaker and EL after the inverter and make sure all neutrals are seperated on 2 seperate bars in the DBs I hope all the other sparkies on this forum will check this.
  11. Hi everyone I installed a 16 tube system on my sisters roof with a 12v panel and pump. The pump was very noisy and failed about 4 months later. I went to my suppliers and bought a plastic pump which to my surprise was a Grunfos. A lot more expensive about R1400 vs R470 It works extremely well and very quiet
  12. I installed a 24V 100ah 2 days ago and seems to be working well I will let you know how it works Customer is very happy
  13. Hi Marius2001 Thanks again for the Axpert remote control. I collected it today and it works perfectly. I am now able to program the inverter with it.
  14. Hi Chris I have already checked the switch.I do have spare switches My Inverter is showing an error with the fans (01).I dont know if that is blocking the program. I can access the program with Watchpower I'm opening the inverter tomorrow and I will see if I can find any faults. Thanks a lot
