  4. I may be way off , not being familiar with butler, but perhaps the timezone in your app is not set to your local time! Maybe an update caused a reset if it was correct previously.

  7. Is this the correct url? https://powerforum-store.co.za/collections/inverters/products/solis-s6-16kw-single-phase-low-voltage-hybrid-inverter-s6-eh1p16k03-nv-yd-l-10-year-warranty-with-display Your link has something funny gives a 404 error, link appears to have "This" on the end???
  8. Having moved from rural KZN to George and taking my self installed solar system (Sunsynk 8Kw) which was coc compliant with me, I now am looking at installing it here. Having got some quotes I think are very high and widely divergent I would like to do all/most of the install myself but due to all the regulations which apply here I am looking for a competent solar electrician who can supervise me and sign off with coc but who will charge a reasonable fee for his/her trouble. Please pm me if you can suggest someone. Thanks in advance Thunderdolt.

  10. Didn't see 208Ah v 104Ah....apologies
  11. I have used SolarwaySuppliers and KD Solar. The last one was with KD 2 years ago. They were very competitive and I bought direct from them. No harm in getting a direct quote: <[email protected]>.. I have no affiliation with either of these companies, I have merely been a customer.
  12. I have just moved to a house and am in the process of finding out which switch activates what. There is a separate toilet and bathroom with a double wall switch for the lights. The one switch turns on both lights, the other does nothing. I opened the switch to see if the non active switch was wired, suspecting that at some time perhaps an extractor fan may have been connected to it. It had a 2.5mm wire attached as opposed to the 1.5mm on the active switch, judging by noticable diameter difference with all the other wiring. I measured the voltage from earth (metal of 2x4 wall box) to the open side of the switch and registered 42V , I dropped the breaker for the circuit at the DB and then measured 70V between earth and the open side of the switch. The house is single phase and has a Victron Multiplus-11 GX 5Kva and a BSL Batt (5Kw?) running in UPS mode. Question: Do I have a problem? And if so any suggestions of what may be the issue? Thanks Thunderdolt

  14. Add about 1/2 teaspoon of Sea Salt or Himalayan or Rock salt per Litre, adjust to your taste buds (i.m.o. it improves the taste and feel) and you will have more minerals than tap water. Also you can get RO systems which include mineralization cartridges and even stand alone ' mineralization filters' .

  21. It's not a special starter, it's a fuse (i.e a short) and it's there to complete the circuit without having to rewire the flourescent fitting.
  22. May 5, 2024 comment_203216 Those are the ones I always use. The other side 2 pins are shorted together internally which enables the tube wiring to accomodate either way round fitting.

  24. Go to Google maps, type in 26 Tsenin Road, click on the picture. They are obviously cheap because of low overheads, literally and figuratively. /S Delivery is probably by express taxi. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
