There's a long discussion here https://aseannow.com/topic/1281234-earth-cablegrounding/ Are your pool lights low-voltage (12V) with proper transformers located away from the pool area? Your pumps etc. should not be accessible by pool users and can use the house ground. Generally, all the metalwork in the pool area, including the pool structural steel and the lighting should be electrically bonded together creating an equipotential zone. Whether this zone is then connected to the house electrical earth is debatable, I would follow the UK/Europe convention of NOT connecting to the electrical ground. Is there any possibility of mains powered equipment being used in the pool area? If at all possible, this should be avoided. The vast majority of pool electrocutions are caused by faulty mains powered kit (or just wet hands operating kit not designed for it).

It just auto-cancelled and the $$$ is on the way back to my CC ???? COD is just not an option for me I'm afraid. Positive transactions far outweigh the relatively few real issues we've seen and no money has ever actually been lost.

Yeah, I was suggesting that possibly the only way to continue with Net Marathon at the same(ish) price would be a new Net Marathon SIM. We ended up getting one of the slow but unlimited packages, for our purposes (backup for the fibre) it does the job.

Yeah, ours ran out earlier this year. I think the only way to continue would be to get a new Net Marathon SIM assuming of course that they are still available.

Looks like an excellent idea to me. It certainly can't hurt.

... and it also turns the dog bright purple ????

Could be many things. Our two Chihuahuas (yes, about as far away from your lady as one can get) sometimes get fungal infections that look very like that. Madam gets "gentian violet" from the farm shop which clears it up pretty well. Of course, it does dye the dog purple! (use disposable rubber gloves). The look of abject terror on the faces of delivery drivers when two, bright purple, dogs come bounding out is worth it.

One may wish to solder the BMS sense wires to the cell interconnect links (big lumps of copper), some people are less than confident in their crimping ability (or have a carppy crimp tool) and like to run some solder into the crimped joint too (don't do this if you have any vibration e.g. a mobile set-up).

Are they seeds??

Even the panel manufacturers use slightly different MC4 connectors. Generally, you can feel if your chosen MC-4 brand are going to be loose (not good) or tight (hard to get apart) with your chosen brand of panels. I certainly wouldn't cut the connectors off a new panel. I wouldn't get overly stressed out, just don't buy the cheapest of the cheap.

Yeah ^^^, definitely buy enough (plus spares) to complete the job from the same source at the same time. A bag of 50 or 100 pairs isn't going to break the bank.

Assuming you already have the "normal" DIY electrical tools I would suggest: - The correct MC-4 (solar panel connectors) crimp tool. A decent cable crimp tool if you are making up "big" battery cables (my tool does up to 50mm2 cables, it wasn't terribly expensive). Cable shears (or those old secateurs). A decently watty soldering iron, say 100-150W (and resin-cored solder). Heat gun for heatshrink - Madam's hair-dryer isn't up to the job although I've used the gas stove in the past. If you are assembling DIY battery packs, I strongly recommend insulating your socket set / spanners / drivers with heatshrink. Dropping a spanner across a 200Ah lithium cell or (worse) battery can get spectacular fast! If you don't already have one, a clamp-on ammeter that does DC current. Luckily, the majority of what you need is available from local Lazada / Shopee sellers, so getting the right tools won't delay your project too much.

Yeah, that looks the business. I hate to admit it, but I actually use a pair of Madam's old pruning secateurs and a sharp knife, I just never got around to buying proper cable shears You will also need a decent cable crimper if you are going to make up your own battery cables.

Is this anything like the "we won't do reconstructions of crimes with suspects who haven't even been convicted" that they promised a couple of years back?

Surely there should be three teams, then they can go with a majority verdict I would be willing to bet: - Poor maintenance, only 1 of 3 diesels working. Poor seamanship, not buttoned up in bad weather (it wasn't even that bumpy). Both of the above. Skipper had the wrong amulet (maybe I shouldn't be giving them ideas) I had some mates in the RN who sailed a much smaller "Tupperware" (at the time the largest glassfibre ship ever built) class minehunter (HMS Ledbury, M30) down to the Falklands to clean up after the Argies ran away. Their biggest problem was that their baby Bofors gun was removed so that they could put the RAS (Replenishment at Sea) point on.

They are like the little girl who had a little curl

Yeah, when you come across an engineering problem you can pretty much guarantee someone has developed a tool to deal with it ???? Often the hardest bit is working out what the thing is called. A "de-burring tool" is pretty self-explanatory but what does a "nibbler" do?

@Pink7 I agree. When I first started buying cells from Lazada a couple of years back there was some decent stuff at sensible prices. Now there's really just junk often at premium prices, even sellers I had good results from in the past are doing it ????

Thanks @Mickeymaus, looks like it's 6 days and then auto cancels. Yeah @BritManToo, it's most annoying when a "Local" seller actually drop-ships from overseas, naughty.

Why do you specifically need a DC pump? I've certainly seen heaters with boost pumps on sale in Malaysia but not here. Maybe check out the Malay version of Lazada? EDIT How about one of these to use with your conventional heater?? https://www.lazada.co.th/products/shamjina-dc-24v-boost-shower-i4256753832-s16853102480.html
