AFAIK he is well and still recovering.

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.

a rocket mass heater has a exhaust/chimney out of the house, normally, so that takes care of the exhaust gases, since most local houses are not built to prevent air exchange from the outside and burning the wood, would consume oxygen which get expelled via the exhaust, fresh air from outside would be drawn in via the various holes and possible vents... the amount of wood that these consume vs the heat produced is unbeatable...

He good news is @TaliaB has been discharge and he is busy recharging hopefully to 100% SOC on a family farm.
His oxygen levels still need to recover and could take a while.
Thanks for the support on behalf of our friend.

@TaliaB is still in high care and sedated while getting some rest. He breathes normally and DR would like his oxygen level to pick up to over 94%.

Just an update just received. He has recovered in such a way that he is out of ICU and in the high care ward. He looks better and can eat without help. Still awaiting results of the latest blood tests. Great to see he is on the recovery path. 🙏

The latest is they intent fitting a filter in the largest vein in the body to catch the blood clots before they get to the lungs. This should happen tonight. This is after consulting a specialist in PTA.
Will keep you guys informed. 🙏🙏

Just make sure about the domain name, cause these scammers sometimes use a name that sounds very similar or looks similar.

A new website to add to the list: https://inspiregreen.co.za/product/gentech-6kva-digital-inverter-generator/
Inspire Green is a scam please do not purchase from them.

All the info I have regarding Bradley at the moment is that he is a Zambian staying in South Africa and running all these. We provided SAPS with 7 numbers he has or had but they can't seem to do anything with it.

Glad to hear you're on the mend. Here's hoping for many more trouble free years

Yup have tried the wood burning hot tubs and as romantic as it appears and sounds I found (having recently rented one for a while) unstable as regards temperature control, not suitable for suburbia as it looked like the next pope was being elected with the amount of smoke...... or I had set up a crematorium in my backyard,,,,,,,

Get solar blankets cut for the tubs. In the summer that may be all you need. It will cut down evaporation as well.

Thank you for the feedback. Now to see if they will become available for smaller scale purchasing.

Thank you, just what I wanted to hear. So basically I can put a combined 6.5kW E and W strings on the two Sunsynk MPPT's and another 3kW N string on the MicroCare feeding the same battery. Is that what you're saying?

I think @Steve87 is, at least in part, defending the smaller companies. I have seen a few articles in local papers that seem to be saying "deal with the big companies. They have the expertise." I don't think it is beyond the realms of possibility that there may be collusion to plant such stories, or that the journalist writing the report has phoned some big company - they're easier to find - and asked one of their managers for some input. And so that manager is quick to point out that you shouldn't deal with those small businesses because you don't know what they don't know. And since the name of his company has already been mentioned ("We asked the chief technical officer of SuperSolarBob...") this helps his business in particular and big companies in general. 

But it is not the case that a smaller company doesn't have standards and expertise. Anybody who has dealt with Steve will know that he has both, that's why he's one of the highest ranked and most appreciated contributors to this forum.

As someone once explained to me  You have a 40A mains CB.  Does your 8A Air Fryer blow when you switch it on?

I'm taking a bit of a flyer, buy maybe it's a bit of electrolysis.  Try grounding the pump and all metal pipes

If you have gas stove, the gas toasters work really well.  Unfortunately, I am between houses, so mine is in storage and I can't take a photo.

@zsde, thanks, that's what I wanted to hear.  I will look up PBMS Tools.  The battery came with a cable marked Inverter on one side and battery on the other.  I think they are RJ45 plugs.  I'm assuming (maybe incorrectly) that I can get an adapter from RJ45 to USB for my laptop.  My inverter only has one port, which looks like a printer socket, I believe it is USB, but I have never managed to communicate with it.
@Scorp and @TaliaB, you are correct, I could have explained better, just didn't think it was necessary, apologies.

Go to your local golf club and ask the workshop manager.  They usually have loads of poked Trojans waiting for recycling

I have been using those for about 3yrs.  I don't have a battery disconnect, and have had no problems so far

Thanks Jason, awesome forum which has been absolutely invaluable through my solar journey.  Keep up the good work.
