- Outside water pump to uprate pressure
It was worth a shot. There are loads of suitable pumps around of course, sadly unless you get an identical unit you're going to need some plumbing. Could you post a photo of the existing unit, members may be able to suggest a (almost) drop-in replacement. We have a Grundfos unit, now 13 years old, it's had a new capacitor and a replacement pressure tank. silent in operation but not cheap. Misubishi pumps have a good reputation at the other end of the cost range without going too cheap and nasty.- Outside water pump to uprate pressure
Firstly, are you certain it's not just the pump capacitor?? Does the pump buzz and get warm or do nothing??- How about a solar car port on a budget?
Yeah, we're keeping a weather eye on the river but at present it's well below "worry" level, not even near "nervous". But things can change quite quickly. The building work is all part of Madam's Master-Plan to enclose (and A/C of course) our downstairs living area. I've already planned space for more panels!- How about a solar car port on a budget?
That's actually for our flood-wall, hopefully to be mostly complete when the river arrives 🙂- How about a solar car port on a budget?
Numbers for September. Grand-daughter is here, the water heaters are still on the grid. These factors lead to a PEA consumption of about 2kWh per day, about double what it is when there's just me and the missus. We also took delivery of a large box from China; contents 8 x 280Ah Eve cells and 3 x battery box / BMS (I have cells for the two extra boxes). I promised Madam that there wouldn't be any more (no more space in the battery shed).- The Only Patriotic Choice for President

Q1 - Connect your earth to whichever busbar is indicated as being for earth 🙂 Do NOT connect it to the incoming neutral, it's pretty obvious from earlier posts that your building is not wired for MEN. Keep it as TT, you have individual RCBOs so you have excellent safety. Q2 - It really doesn't matter although putting the heavier loads to the left certainly doesn't hurt.- Earth where no earth exists, on 12th floor.
I'd start a new thread with a relevant title, makes it easier for search-engines to find your content.- I bought some glue today to repair a plastic PVC chair
Google Lens is your friend. What kind of PVC are you fixing, PVC covering or rigid PVC structure (plastic chair).- The Bangkok River Level Thread 2024 - Post your images and local situation here.
Yeah, that was my thought too. In 2011 we had about 30cm of water in the house, sadly we were too far along with construction to raise our floor levels by much. In 2022 the water just crept into the lowest parts of downstairs. EDIT Madam indicates the water level post the 2011 flood.- Major Storm Won't Hit Thailand Like in 2011, official confirms
Where is here??- Major Storm Won't Hit Thailand Like in 2011, official confirms
We are keeping a very close eye on things; we got pretty damp in 2022. We are in the process of building permanent flood defences as part of Madam's home modification process.- The Bangkok River Level Thread 2024 - Post your images and local situation here.

Indeed, I tend to avoid video conferences too. But the presentation is so much more than just the video interaction bit. It's the whole concept of WIMP (Windows, Icons, Menus, Pointer) interface and online document sharing and editing (think Google docs).- So, you thought that videoconference and interactive document editing was 21st century ...
