Even under the cooler weather this past week, the thermostat trick has held up nicely. Our issue is that select family members like to spend longer than they should in the shower as part of their daily unwind process; wasting both water and energy in the name of 'relaxation'. I'd complain bitterly to them - if I wasn't one of them! Is there a way to get to the geyser supply valve? Time to trim the hot water supply with the excuse somebody spent to long under the shower. LoL At a time I wanted to build a plc setup, flow meter starts the process, after 10min the solenoid on the hot water supply will close. It will open again after lets say 15min for another 10min etc. But my plan was sort of enough of a deterrent to shower faster. But he still opened the water to a roaring waterfall even with a flow restrictor in. It would have been nice to use a flow meter to close the valve after lets say 30 liters of hot water, the user can decide 10min at 3 liter per min or 3 minutes at 10 liter per minute. But now he stays in his own place and pays for everything himself and now he showers in record time. Edited October 16, 20232 yr by Vaal

Your solar PV is rocking !!! That’s a lot of production
