  1. Now that sounds good I will have to look for one on shopee/lazada
  2. Do you get test solutions with these to calibrate as the one i have asks for calibration solutions which i am yet to find Looking to buy the one you have but unsure if they give the solution?
  3. Just some info for anyone looking at getting a solar sytem. So i have not bought an additional battery yet. (16kw Deye battery installed) We have just added 4 more a/c units Now we have a total of 6 a/c If we run them all and the pool pump we are not able to charge the 15kw battery much maybe only 30-40% charge We now run 2-3 a/c+ pool pump and can now charge the battery to 100% by around 1pm then we can put on the other a/c's on flat out until around 4.30pm If we get another battery i am not sure we will be able to charge it without getting more panels currently have 15k deye system We are getting around 70-80 kw a day and using around 20 from the grid Apart from adding more panels i am not sure getting a extra battery would be worthwhile Bill just came 1600baht which is great as our previous house with just 2 a/c we were paying 4-4500 most months Well worth the investment
  4. Many thanks again for your help
  5. I bought salt test strips and the pool was showing around 7200ppm I drained 50%of water hopng to get around 3500ppm After testing with salt strips before it always was clear to see the water had too much salt and you could taste it when swimming Not tried the meter as not calibrated it yet but heard they are not accurate Test strips are showing either 7800ppm or 3000ppm as not clear but the pool has no noticeable salt taste Any accurate way to check apart from taking a sample to get tested?
  6. I Great thanks I will see how I get on when it arrives 😀
  7. Excellent just bought some thanks Do you leave it on for 30 minutes or so and do you need to use anything like a non scratch pad to remove it afterwards?
  8. Thanks for saying about these i bought these and so far the pool is looking great apart from calcium build up on the black outer tiles These test strips seem very good and i only use 1 every sunday so far so good I also bought some 250 baht shopee specials and they say different results each time i test them even 30 seconds apart
  9. Starting to get more calcium build up on black outer pool tiles Is standard white vinegar the best way to remove these as also read you can use a pumice stone but worried about getting the tiles scratched Also is the cause of this due to Ph/chlorine balance? Thanks for all your help.
  10. Haha that will teach you. We had someone opposite our old house that was running his house free by adding a wire from the main cables The electrician from PEA came to check then got the owner out and told him to remove the cable. That was it ! Lucky I reckon 2 weeks later his mate is up the top of the mango tree at 2am putting a new bypass cable up. Should of got him to do mine ,saves on solar install.
  11. I have a few friends in the uS that I used to send parcels to Since August I haven't but just checked and its showing on the Thaipost calculator that airmail/EMS is now available,before it only showed Couries post. The parcel I have waiting to send since August is 110 cm x30x 30 Weighs 2.9kg Before this used to be 2700 baht Not sure if it's possible now though since trump the <deleted> messed everything up.
  12. Yes it's a crazy place here. I was told they need your id card to check you vote. Then the same people complain its been fixed.
  13. Our old house still had the whizzy disc. Unfortunately our new house got fitted with a new digital version. Still nice to only be paying 600 baht a month .
  14. I also thought about this but our installer said he knows people still waiting from 2 years ago. Not sure if this is still an isuue? Might look into it if its possible.
  15. Only 500 baht In southern province's its 2-3000 baht so I'm told Mind you less hands are taking a cut.
  16. Maybe o.should look into registering but the company we used said they have installed 100's of systems and very rarely does anyone want to register I suppose as long as you have a digital meter and are not exporting back to the grid it wouldn't matter but could mine be doing this as the import units used on deye cloud are certainly higher than the PEA bill charged ?
  17. The company we used said we can get approval through them for 10k baht for our 15kw inverter as they know someone who works there and they don't need to check but said it wasn't necessary at the moment and you can do it anytime. Not sure about that but for now I will leave it as it is and getting a bill for 6-700 baht a month will probably look normal.
  18. Just got our PEA bill today 628 baht Is the Deye app quite far out with import figures as this month alone its showing 225kwh but got charged for 164 kwh The cycle starts around 22nd of the month so I was guessing I used around 300 kwh ? Not complaining just don't understand if the Deye cloud is giving incorrect data? Fitting a new battery might cost around 60k70k That would take 9-10 years .
  19. Now this is exactly what i am wanting to do. Did you add the LVTopsun battery yourself? Trying to see how difficult it would be to add the extra battery
  20. I would prefer to keep with DEYE but probably no difference LVtopsun would be ok with Deye inverter? Would probably go for a 30kwh as if we are using an average of 15kw+ an extra 15kw from PEA during non solar hours having a 15kw battery + a new 30kw battery would mean i can set them to go to maybe 30% rather than 20% or would this not make a difference? maybe charge them to 80-90% rather than 100%? To be honest any recommendations would be good as not got much of an idea which battery is a good pedigree and i expect i would choose the wrong one Many thanks and how easy would it be to install ? Feel like i might need someone to fit it unless there is a good youtube video?
  21. OK clearer Screenshot seemed to work but still not perfect
  22. Just screenshot the images and attached to the post above Clearer but not perfect
  23. I was just checking the images and they are clear until i upload them i will try to drag files as they seem to compress them when i upload
