  1. Maybe OUTA would be able to help you, but in the meantime you are pretty much stuck between a rock and a hard place as you have to load your meter or go without power.
  2. Ja, more than just good luck needed with this method. While a great idea and the correct approach, unfortunately this is SA and the majority of ward councilors are just the economy class section of the gravy train (business and 1st class reserved for ministers and deputies). I guess this also depends on where you live and the individual councilor, but in my case I found my councilor to be very attentive and full of promises when I presented my issues, and that was the last I've seen of him. I've had no action or feedback and since then he reads my WhatsApps but does not reply, does also not answer his phone. Useless piece of excrement, and he is DA. Made me reflect on who I will be voting for come November.

  5. To be technically correct, a number BETWEEN 0 and 100 includes 1 to 99. A number FROM 0 to 100 includes the 0 and 100.
  6. Could really use this and would love to come and fetch it. DM me or call/WhatsApp. Peter 0827788003. Thank you kindly

  8. You pipped me to the post. Even if you don't use the rocket side of things the concept could be used i.e., the clay couch you build will become your sand battery heated by however you would have heated a conventional sand battery

  19. I reversed the fans on my 48V 3kVa Plus model when I first read this thread and noticed that the fans definitely run more often and for longer than before. I have never actually measured temperatures and have not changed them back to standard (often thought I should but never get around to it) and have never had even a minor hiccup with the inverter in about ten years of offgrid use.
  20. Brand new Kwikot installed a month ago soon after I moved in here. First time I looked in the ceiling I noticed it was leaking in 2 places, so the seller had it replaced under her insurance. I still had to pay in R2500 excess, which I was not happy about. I don't see any other PRVs on my line, in fact I can't even find a shut off valve on either side of my meter. If I close the tap feeding the geyser, half the house's water supply is cut, but the rest is still open. Weird setup, in my mind. The solar geyser came from a friend's house, he removed it when he did renovations to his bathroom. It is not open to atmosphere, but I remember it had vacuum breakers on it. Unfortunately, he didn't take note or photos of how it was connected, but it was mounted outside and had 22mm pipes going through his tiles and connected to his internal geyser. I contacted the solar geyser manufacturer, but they said they can't help, get a plumber. I don't need this extra expense, and I am more than capable of connecting everything up safely, as long as I can get the correct info. Thanks for all the advice, I really appreciate it, and am looking forward to more and coming up with a plan.
  21. Thanks for pointing this out. I started the confusion by getting the scale wrong to start with. So, if I add a 400kPa PRV to the cold inlet will my diagram work? I haven't tested my water pressure (I will), but suspect it is not 600kPa anyway
