  10. Sarel I,ve never seen a single surge protection before,I'm sure you have to use a 2 pole(live and neutral) I'm not sure
  11. Correct I use a E/L tester at every job I do. I also find that all the E/L I test the test button has always indicated if the E/L is functioning correctly. Maybe one day I,ll find one that does not.
  12. Just push the test button on the earth leakage ,this could give you an accurate account if it is faulty. remember you cannot go from one EL to another one My theory is when the power is on you have a neutral to earth wire short. Try disconnecting all the neutral wires and connect one at a time to find the fault For gods sake dont electricute yourself(I'm a registered electrician) Good luck
  13. Check for a hissing noise from the pump and make sure the pipe from the tank is bigger than the pipe going out of the pump(this is cavatation and will damage the impeller) I hope this helps
  14. Yes 230volt is the standard for South Africa
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. 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.
  19. According to SANS 10142 it needs to be replaced . Be careful your insurance company wont pay you out if the SPD's arent working.

  22. McGuywer Generators produce a pure sine wave just by design . An AVR is good because it stops the voltage from going to high.
