Yes, I realize that I have it on two threads, not intentional. Thank you for your advise.

Pierre, Perhaps you can do a diagram of the circuit, take a photo and post it to me via WhatsApp...? I would really appreciate that. cell: 079 877 1878.

Just a Question...? Okay so it cuts off the Neutral to Geyser, and the live still goes through, however the geyser won't work without a neutral, which is what we want. But where does the neutral for the pump come from...??

Yes you are correct. that is exactly what I should do, Thank you. I also got the the advise from Pierre.

Okay, Thank you so much, I got it now.

This is the Controller system installed : http://www.mzansisolar.co.za/downloads/solar-geysers/control-panels/SR868c8 - Controller Manual.pdf SR868c8 - Controller Manual.pdf - Mzansi Solar Operation manual of solar water controller SR868C8/SR868C8 Q ... Electrical heater, gas boiler or oil boiler can be integrated into solar system used as back- up ...

Thank you Pierre, I just don't think I fully understand the connection that you have explained. From the Grid the supply runs to an isolator switch, then to the Controller, then out the controller to the Geyser, there is also an output to the circulation pump and to the Controller's Control panel. I am just trying to make sense of how I connect the supply to the geyser, only using one cable, Live and Neutral...?

It is an AC Pump 220V. so it must be switched by the Inverter, via the controller, only activating the circulation pump, when the temperature in the collector reaches a certain degree.

Hi Pierre, I have a client that has a solar panel (Collector) connected to his Geyser, with a controller and circulation pump. He would like the circulation pump to run during a Power Outage (Load Shedding) from the back up Inverter, and obviously NOT the geyser element. Pump Only. Would you have some advise as to how connect this this up, using perhaps a Relay...??? Good Morning Pierre, Once again thank you so much for your valuable information and knowledge. I plan to then get the US3000C's as a better option. I will keep you informed with the progress and take photos to post on the forum. Have an Awesome and safe day.

Good day Guys, I have a client that has a solar panel (Collector) connected to his Geyser, with a controller and circulation pump.

Hi Pierre, I am trying to find out if I would be able to use 2x Pylontech US3000C 3.5 kW batteries (If Compatable...?) with the Victron Multiplus 5kVA...? From the Victron viewpoint, their (Pylontech) 48V batteries can work with all our 48V MultiPlus and Quattro range, meaning our full range from 500VA to 15000VA applies. A unique feature in the energy storage market. ( I came across this on the Victron Site) Do you think they will work..? They will be a better choice, if so. DoD= 95% and 3552Wh at 3.5kWh...?

Yes, we have (Well the client) has decided that we go with the 5kVA Multi with 2X batteries for the meantime, then when we get another 2 we can get the 4 Battery Cabinet. I have not noticed the US2000C and will definitely look into it, Price etc and get them, as a better option. Thank you for your information Pierre, much appreciated. I will keep you up- dated with the progress.

Thank you Pierre, That sure does make a lot of sense, especially the "No room for expansion" part. Do you have any idea of what VA for a server rack would be..? Bottom line....your personal opinion, what system would you recommend, I put forward to my client..?

Thank you Pierre, My client has decided to rather go for a 3KvA Victron Multiplus 48/3000/35-50 and 2 x 2.4kwh Pylotech batteries. He wants it installed in his offices to run 14x 20w LED lights 7x PC's , Server and CCTV. would this system be suitable...??
