  1. Most of the float type level sensors can be wired either way, read the instructions. BUT If your pump controller doesn't have an on/off input you will need to use a relay (I would suggest a solid-state relay) because the switch in the level sensor is designed for AC and your panels are DC. If you can post photos of the various rating plates on your kit (pump, panels, controller) we can suggest simple ways forwards.
  2. You "should" be able to ride on June 3rd 2023. And, if you have a Rabbit card it will be free.

  4. For me it's washing the car (for better effect, pay someone to wash the car) ????
  5. Me too, the garden needs it. But only at night please, we have UK family over and they like sunshine ????
  6. This ^^^. I'm afraid it's time for a new system ????
  7. What you actually need is an aircon repair man to check out exactly what's gone awry.
  8. In order to avoid going too far off topic, I've split out the battery discussion into a new thread. Please continue that discussion here:-
  9. How are you regulating the temperature now? There's no reason not to have a solar pre-heat feeding your current heater but you would need some way of regulating the inlet temperature as the solar would be quite capable of boiling the water on a hot day! You would need some form of thermostatic mixing valve on the feed to the existing heater. Not impossible. Or, could you drill right through to fit a mixing tap in your existing shower, using a diamond hole saw and lots of coolant should avoid damaging the tiles. Of course, this would need access to the other side and assumes that the other side can be made good at sensible cost.
  10. Getting everyone on to electronic billing is likely a precursor to going to remote reading (so electronic "smart" meters), less cost for MEA. Just how rapidly electronic meters are going to be deployed is another matter of course.
  11. For reasons unknown this appeared in my Youtube Feed. Beautiful and timeless!
  12. "Pantone" is one of a number of colour standards, but do be aware of batch / manufacturer differences if you are actually trying to match. Not paint but wall cladding, same Pantone number, different manufacturers!
  13. Definitely some discount correction going on, not going to complain ????
  14. Sorry, as an AN Mod, we get first dibs at the rain! But we only want it at night when it won't interfere with our solar.
  15. Do you really think I'd let her loose on here, do I look like a masochist (sadist maybe - I'm a mod after all)??? I have enough issues with what she posts on FaceBore
  16. She's out being made beautiful, the grandkids arrive from the UK on Monday ????
  17. The excitement is building! Our man has been but I'm at work so can't post the bill. Yet!
  18. Yeah ^^^, condos are usually (but not always) government rate. Apartments are privately metered and so can pad the bill (there are official limits but ...)
  19. That is my assumption, my first pink card was free, I'm over 60. I've never lost it so I can't comment on replacement. I may have missed it, but is our OP over 60?
  20. Offhand no, the Motoring forum would be the place to ask what the core fee would be. 500 Baht for a "tested" used battery sounds cheap.
  21. Used lead-acid batteries are far too valuable for recycling to ever be free.
  22. Lithium makes up about 0.002% of earth's crust, but in geologic terms, it isn't particularly rare. There is also a huge amount in sea water. Meanwhile. Lead makes up only about 0.0013% of the earth's crust (slightly rarer than lithium), but it is easily mined and refined. I agree with @Muhendis, lead-acid isn't dead yet.
